...wow...what an amazing interview...why nobody talks about it?...

[@wlg2677]

In latin american channels chatting with evangelicals they mostly come with the argument that this scrolls were written by gnostics. They can never back up this statement with academic proof, so when I ask them for serious references besides those on "internet wackos" they can´t sustain it.

No mention of the biblical canon/Tobit and the "works of the law"? Would've thought CA would into the juicy stuff that vindicates Catholicism.

[@WhiteDove73-888]

It also says in the Dead Sea scrolls that they shouldn’t be in official cannon. We so called Protestants love those Jewish writings. We don’t deny them. They weren’t supposed to be in the cannon as per the church fathers and the Essenes.

[@tonyl3762]

@@WhiteDove73-888 What are you talking about? Where do the DSS talk about the canon of Scripture? My point was that we found Aramaic and Hebrew texts of Tobit, disproving Jerome's "Hebrew verity" theory. The phrase "works of the law" used by Paul also gains greater context in the DSS, indicating Jewish laws, not good works. Moreover, the deuterocanon like Tobit were quoted as Scripture by the early Church fathers.

I'm concerned about the thing, about the commandments question, as the Jews are saying, there's the 7 noahide commandments, & I'd always been aware of the 10 commandments of the Christians Bible, so, Can I get any clarity, on this, to be on the right direction, of this, please 🥺 so much, also, the Jews are saying, that the 10 commandments are only for them, and that the gentiles are to do the 7 noahide commandments.
