What’s your favourite book of the Bible?

You're not supposed to be attached to worldly things, so it makes sense there's a book in there about the futility of human endeavor.

It's pessimistic only when seen through a materialist lens. Seen differently, it's another perspective on the Hindu maya.

Gonna be a tie between Revelation, John’s Gospel, Ecclesiastes and the Song of Solomon.

Also OP you’re supposed to contrast the meaningless/transience of the relative world of men depicted in Ecclesiastes with the ultimate undying relationship and passion of the Song of Solomon as it is the love song between God and the soul. If one is the emptiness of the world without God, the other is the fullness of the world with God.

Sorry here's ot
The point is that there was not a consensus from which luther is departing, or the other reformers

>> No.17695215

>>17695078
The consensus was made at the Council of Rome, Hippo, and Carthage.

>Protestant Church Historian J.N.D Kelly:
It should be observed that the old testament thus admitted as authoritative in the church was somewhat bulkier and more comprehensive....
It always included, though with varying degrees of recognition, the so called Apocrypha or Deuterocanonical books (Early Christian Doctrines, JND Kelley, p 53).

The same inclusive attitude to the Apocrypha [Deuterocanonical] was authoritatively displayed at the synods of Hippo and Carthage in 393 and 397 respectively, and also in the famous letter which Pope Innocent I Dispatched to Exuperius, bishop of Toulouse, in 405 (56).

>> No.17695229

>>17695215
Incorrect, which is why they were canonized at Trent. Even still we don't rely wholly on piecing together what earlier Christians thought, we have the texts ourselves and can see that Tobit contains doctrines which are incompatible with scripture and is therefore apocryphal

Not a Christian but I like the Book of Esther. My favorite apocrypha is probably the Book of Enoch.

How is it incorrect? Those councils did authoritatively canonize them. You even have a protestant church historian stating it right there. The Council of Trent only confirmed what was already set in place.

>> No.17695360

>>17695294
Rome, hippo and carthage were not ecumenical and ostensibly did not bring total consensus within the western church, hence the ruling of trent. I am not in anyway disagreeing with the quoted historian.

>did not bring total consensus within the western church
The ruling of Trent was made to settle the objections made by reformers. Can you give someone objecting to the canon anywhere after these councils? If you reject the councils well then you reject the Early Church I guess. Luther decided to do exactly that. For if Luther was condemning the canon he wasn't just condemning the present church during his time but also the early one.
