Would people leave the U.S. if Sharia Laws were enacted?
Luke 21:20 Whenever yet ye may be seeing Jerusalem[USA] being encompassed by armies[MUSLIMS], then be ye knowing! that nigh Her desolation.

HISTORY OF THE SEPTUAGINT
In about 94 A.D. the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus put together his great work, Antiquities of the Jews, relying heavily on the Scriptures, which he drew from the Septuagint version. By this time the Apostles of Christ were writing - Gospels and Epistles. And we see that they were using the Septuagint almost exclusively - of the two hundred thirty-eight passages from the Old Testament quoted in the New Testament, only four are from the Hebrew and all the rest from the Septuagint. Even the Revelation of St. John, which does not quote the Old Testament directly, is filled with Septuagint words and phrases. Examining the Gospels and the Epistles carefully, we are met over and over by words and phrases which cannot be fully understood without referring to their earlier use in the Septuagint.
...
From the Septuagint we also gained those books sometimes called "Deuterocanonical" or "Apocrypha" which are not in the Hebrew canon, but are so valuable to the Orthodox Church in her worship - including the beautiful and inspiring "Song of the Three Children," sung so often in our services. These useful and instructive books are interspersed throughout the Septuagint, and make it quite different from the Hebrew Old Testament. To those who object, saying, "But these books are not in the Hebrew canon," we must say in return, "We are not dealing with the Hebrew canon, but with the Bible of the Church, and these have been in our Bible from the very beginning. Our Old Testament is the Septuagint."
Old Testament and the Orthodox Church
I see, so the rule of scripture explicitly specifies "Christian" scriptures, then?
Yes, Christians embrace Christian Scripture.
IF you are practicing the Rule of Law in Arizona, you would be embracing Arizona law - quite obviously. As I noted in my post, clearly Luther and Calvin intend for the Christian Scriptures to be the norm, not the Bhagavad-Gita.

And yet Islam purports itself to be a further revelation of Christian truths. How do you determine that they are not, and that Muhammad is a false prophet?

Not only have you not answered the question, you're appealing to circular logic too.If you have to ask then you need study.
You think you're being silly but you MIGHT just be starting to understand...
Of course, when CHRISTIANS embrace Scripture, we DO mean the Christian Scriptures - that would be the object. But yes, as a PRACTICE, it is the EMBRACE of Scripture.-snip-

Okay, thank you, and if this thread was about arbitration, we could discuss if what he quoted supported his position - but that discussion would be derailing and is not permitted. Start a thread on arbitration if it matters to you...

I am aware of your novel theoryAnd thus preaching through countries and cities, they appointed the first-fruits [of their labours], having first proved them by the Spirit to be http://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/anf01.ii.ii.xlii.html?highlight=bishop,deacon#highlightbishops and deacons of those who should afterwards believe. Nor was this any new thing, since indeed many ages before it was written concerning bishops and deacons. For thus saith the Scripture in a certain place, I will appoint their bishops183183 Or, overseers. in righteousness, and their deacons184184 Or, servants. in faith.185185 Isa. lx. 17, Sept.; but the text is here altered by Clement. The LXX. have I will give thy rulers in peace, and thy overseers in righteousness.

Nothing about firstfruits of priests.
Guide: We can also see Clement referring to scripture and tradition-tied-to apostles.

Pretty neat trick!
What gets me is the confusion between the Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox, because both
claim to have given us the Bible. Do the Eastern Orthodox also believe that their church is the one "true"
Church? I know the Catholic Church believes it and claims it. So, why all the confusion and division?
