𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗧𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗦 𝗙𝗢𝗟𝗟𝗢𝗪 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗔𝗡𝗢𝗡 𝗢𝗙 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗘𝗘𝗦, 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗚𝗥𝗢𝗨𝗣 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗥𝗘𝗝𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗖𝗛𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗧 (A truth rarely told, but proven by history) Let us begin with a hard historical fact. Protestants follow the Old Testament canon of the Pharisees, the same Pharisees who rejected Christ, handed Him over to be crucified, and rejected the New Testament. What do Pharisees and Protestants have in common? • Pharisees rejected Christ and had Him crucified • Protestants rejected the Church founded by Christ • Pharisees created their own authority after Christ • Protestants founded their own sects after rejecting the Church History does not lie. 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗖𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗧𝗛: 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗝𝗘𝗪𝗦 𝗡𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗛𝗔𝗗 𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗔𝗥𝗗 𝗕𝗜𝗕𝗟𝗘 One of the most ignored truths in biblical history is this: There was NEVER a single, universally accepted Jewish canon of Scripture. Different Jewish groups accepted different lists of sacred books. If “Bible Alone” were biblical, the Jews would have had ONE Bible. They did not. 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗔𝗗𝗗𝗨𝗖𝗘𝗘𝗦, 𝗢𝗡𝗟𝗬 5 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞𝗦 The Sadducees were the priestly elite who controlled the Temple in Jerusalem. They accepted ONLY the Torah: • Genesis • Exodus • Leviticus • Numbers • Deuteronomy They rejected: • The Prophets • The Psalms • Resurrection of the dead • Angels and spirits This is why Jesus corrected them directly (Matthew 22:23). Five books only. 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗔𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗦, 𝗔𝗟𝗦𝗢 5 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞𝗦 (𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬 𝗣𝗘𝗢𝗣𝗟𝗘 𝗝𝗘𝗦𝗨𝗦 𝗟𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗗) The Samaritans, descendants of Israelites left in the north after the Assyrian exile, used the Samaritan Pentateuch. They accepted: • Only the five books of Moses • A different textual tradition • Mount Gerizim instead of Jerusalem They rejected all other Jewish writings. Five books only. IMPORTANT: It was the Samaritan people whom Jesus loved in the Gospel: • The Good Samaritan (Luke 10) • The Samaritan woman at the well (John 4) • Samaritans showed greater faith than many Jews Yet even they had no complete Jewish canon. 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗘𝗘𝗦, 39 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞𝗦 (𝗔𝗙𝗧𝗘𝗥 90 𝗔𝗗) The Pharisees were the group that: • Opposed Jesus • Rejected Him as Messiah • Accused Him falsely • Handed Him to be crucified • Rejected the New Testament After: • The destruction of the Temple (70 AD) • The rapid spread of Christianity • Christians using the Septuagint to prove Jesus is the Messiah They reacted by fixing a Hebrew canon around 90 AD. Their canon = 39 books Removed the Deuterocanonical books Rejected the Septuagint Opposed Christian theology THIS is the canon Protestants later adopted. Protestants follow the canon of the Pharisees, the enemies of Christ and the early Christians. 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗘𝗡𝗘𝗦, 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡 39 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞𝗦 The Essenes lived in Palestine (Qumran) and preserved the Dead Sea Scrolls. Their sacred library included: • Torah • Prophets • Psalms • Deuterocanonical books (Tobit, Sirach, Baruch, etc.) • Other sacred writings (1 Enoch, Jubilees) More than 39 books. 𝗘𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗢𝗣𝗜𝗔𝗡 𝗝𝗘𝗪𝗦, 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡 39 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞𝗦 The Beta Israel (Ethiopian Jews) lived in long isolation from Rabbinic Judaism. Their tradition: • Preserved ancient Jewish practices • Retained books beyond the Pharisaic canon • Closely parallels the Ethiopian Christian canon
