Why would God take it out of only ONE? But leave it in the OTHERS?

I’ve been less to believe KJ banned the Geneva Bible as well…you may not have the answers but that’s my question?

@digeratiart blessings! I don’t think I am understanding what you are asking me. Are you asking me if King James banned the Geneva Bible? Also the link you provided just takes me to random shorts every time I push it.

@digeratiart by any chance have you had the opportunity to watch the full video? th-cam.com/video/92tVCHrdhGo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Ozzb7fWBztXk5zsy

I do! Christ’s REAL presence in the Eucharist, is more than just a memorial of His death.

@@gclmedia praise the Lord Jesus Christ

@@gclmedia Brother if you have time, please make a video about the Holy Eucharist. thank you

@philipmarchalquizar7741 outstanding idea

Thank you Bishop!

I truly appreciate your encouragement! The journey of faith is indeed profound, and it's great to have supportive voices like yours.

You are so welcome

Blessings! Were you able to watch the video? Or just answering?

Yes, economical and in What authority? I believe tradition of the bible teaches not to remove or add anything. Revelation 22 18 to 19.

I do my absolute best. Thank you for your words. And take it easy on yourself... let's learn together. I am here to help.

Thank you so much! And you are very welcome. Language does not work the way people think it does. Especially those who don't speak in other languages. I tell people all the time, that I sailed the 7 seas as a Navy Engineer starting at 17 years old, my name is Gerald, but in Japan, I am Jerarudo Kun, in China Jié lā dé, in Germany Gerwald, in Spain, I was Gerardo, Russia Джеральд Dzherald, and the strangest of all in Thailand Cheoran.

@@gclmedia LOL Yes! And yet, your name didn't change. I really think the enemy is working hard to remove the name of Jesus, because there's power in His name. More people are familiar with that English pronunciation. Shout out to engineers. my son will be attending university next fall with a mechanical eng. major and a minor in aeronautical eng. (design/not piloting). And he has his FAA license for aviation maintenance.

I really appreciate your detailed comment! It's always great to connect with someone who shares a passion for biblical studies. Your expertise enriches the discussion!

Thank you for not only watching but sharing your thoughts, and I’m glad you enjoyed the video! I find it crucial to address misconceptions, especially the idea that Catholics “added” books to the Bible-this is a nonsensical post-1800 narrative that overlooks the presence of these books in the Septuagint long before the formal establishment of the Catholic Church not to mention the 16th Century Protestant movement. You’re absolutely right about Luther. He never rejected the deuterocanonical books; instead, he placed them in a separate section because he found value in them. In his preface, he wrote, “these books are not held equal to the Sacred Scriptures and yet are useful and good to read.” His intention was to distinguish them from the Hebrew Scriptures, not to discard them. Unfortunately, the decision by the Bible societies in the 19th century to remove these books entirely solidified a more dismissive attitude that was never Luther’s original intent. It is indeed ironic, as you noted, that some of my fellow Protestants today seem more inclined to read works like the Book of Enoch than the deuterocanonical books, why they view with Apocrypha with suspicion baffles me when the very same books are included in the Eastern Orthodox Bible as well. It is bigatry at its finest to rejected something based soley upon its association with Catholicism. This reflects a lack of awareness about our own historical roots in Jewish, early Christian, and Catholic traditions respectively. Understanding this context can help us approach these texts with a more balanced perspective and appreciate its nuance.

@@matthewmcguigan4293 actually was scripture when written and still is scripture

@@frekigeri4317 Indeed!

@@gclmedia The Apocrypha is not part of the Bible. Never was and never will be. It is of interest, but it is not scripture. It never was and it never will be and you are wrong to say it is scripture. Let's hope you repent and stop leading people astray.

Blessings! Yes, I'm familiar with Cyril's Catechetical Lectures. In Lecture 4, Cyril doesn’t go into detail about the Deuterocanonical books (the Apocrypha). Instead, he mainly focuses on the books that closely match the Hebrew Scriptures. He highlights what we now call the "Protocanonical" books-those accepted in the Hebrew Bible and later by Protestant traditions. However, not all church fathers saw it this way. Before Cyril, Origen (c. 185-254 AD) had a broader approach, using the Apocryphal books for teaching. Likewise, Irenaeus (c. 130-202 AD) referenced Deuterocanonical, showing they were part of early Christian practice. On the other hand, after Cyril, (c. 296-373 AD) did take a more conservative stance in his Festal Letter 39, leaving out the Apocryphal books from his official list, though he still saw them as valuable reading. Jerome (c. 347-420 AD), who translated the Latin Vulgate, leaned toward the Hebrew canon, too. He included the Deuterocanonical books in the Vulgate but had reservations about using them for doctrine.

I appreciate your thoughts, and I’d like to build on some points. In my video, I highlighted that there always has been, and likely always will be, a difference of opinion regarding which books should be considered part of the biblical canon. This was evident even in the Sanhedrin, where the two factions-the Pharisees and Sadducees-held different views on the accepted scriptures. Yet, despite these differences, there was a level of coexistence and unity. Today, similar debates continue, not only over which books should be included but even down to individual verses. This is one reason why the Bible has undergone various revisions over the centuries, especially as early manuscripts are discovered. With each new manuscript, there are verses that some include while others exclude. This ongoing process of examination and adjustment shows that the effort to understand and preserve the original texts remains active, even if it sometimes leads to differing conclusions. When it comes to the Catholic Church or any other denomination, historical challenges and controversies don't erase the foundational structure established by the Apostles. Early Christianity wasn’t just a loose movement; there was a deliberate effort to establish leadership and community continuity that persisted even through intense persecution. The claim of pagan influence in Catholicism is often extremely overstated. While some cultural elements were reinterpreted with a Christian understanding, the core doctrines remained true and consistent with early Christian teachings. Instead of trying to create a new church to achieve unity, the focus should be on dialogue and understanding the shared history of different traditions. As for the Bible, while debates over which books or verses should be included will persist, the key is approaching the Scriptures thoughtfully, recognizing that no single translation can perfectly meet everyone’s individual criteria. Christianity’s diversity has always existed, and unity doesn’t require starting from scratch but rather embracing a shared journey, much like the coexistence seen in the Sanhedrin.

Thank you so much for your feedback. It’s funny because, on my screen, it looks clear, but even a close friend mentioned it was hard to see. I’ll definitely work on improving that. Honestly, while I was writing, I felt like it wasn’t bold enough.

@@gclmedia hey thanks for that :)

Blessings! Thank you for watching and engaging. The Septuagint was the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible the TaNakh, not just the Torah.

@@gclmedia wrong... the original septuagint was only the torah.

I have an upcoming video on this topic. While the Ethiopian Bible is indeed one of the oldest, several Christian Bibles actually predate it.

@gclmedia septuagint doesn't exist. That was just the torah translated from Hebrew to Greek. The reprint wasn't done by the same people and added more to the original.... the Codex Sinaiticus is only the "new testement" absolutely ignoring the Hebrew bible....... and the dead sea scrolls are just pieces with holes in that people used filler to complete stories....... the Ethiopian Bible is the oldest complete "bible" that includes the Hebrew bible, apocrypha, and the greek new testament as far as I can find......

@@cattywampusmcdoogle What do you want? Oldest or accurate and true? Do you seek age or the Truth?

@br.m oh, if you are chasing truth, you need to go back to the oldest and original religions, see how the stories are blended together... when it comes to the religions of the Levant, yoi can see where the jews took a caananite god and made it their own.... then the chrostian religions took the jew scriptures and dis exactly what they were told not to do and added to the text..... we can look at the christian invasions that forced conversion and raped and murdered my eastern European ancestors, took their holy days and renamed them, burnt our holy sites and rebuilt churches over them, took our gods and renamed them demons but kept some of the celebrations and blended them into christoan holidays all while ignoring the 7 biblical feast days..... we can go down the truth hole if you want.

@@cattywampusmcdoogle Guess what? That was a lot of nonsense. If only you knew. I wish there was some way to let you know. Good luck with your weird nonsense.

Capped!!! Did Jesus celebrate Hanukkah?

You don’t have to be a prophet to write inspired scripture.

Absolutely, Jesus did celebrate Hanukkah. In John 10:22-24, we read: 'And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.' (KJV) The 'Feast of Dedication' is another name for Hanukkah. I actually have a video that dives deeper into this-check it out! th-cam.com/video/tE7fPPIOMRg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jtpAsvGSDBwhGJqp

@@frekigeri4317 actually you do need to be a prophet to be inspired to write the things of the Holy Spirit. Please read your Bible as it will tell you the truth.

@@drfdrf-ri9zf bro, not everything in scripture is prophetic thus not everyone that writes scripture needs to be a prophet

It will definitely be interesting and exciting to say the least. I look forward to it no matter the outcome.

I’m going to keep digging until I end up a curator in the Vatican library.

and the more the catholics dig... the more based othodox they become.

@@cattywampusmcdoogle not really, orthodoxy failed miserably at evangelization.

@frekigeri4317 if you say so

@@cattywampusmcdoogle Catholic evangelizing, celibate priest goes off into untamed wilderness to give the gospel to savages. Orthodox evangelizing, orthodox Christians move from war torn to already Christian country and orthodox priest shows up later.

I do my best to elucidate in a way that makes it clear and evident. I thank you so much and appreciate your kindness.

I can understand their perspective. Yahweh suddenly speaks in Greek? Nope!
