Deuterocanon/Apocrypha (Anglican)

[Colabomb]

Scripture, useful for instruction or neither?

[Zacharias]

Back when the book Daniel was accepted as scripture, we used the septuagint which contained Daniel 14 (Bel and the Dragon).

Back when the book of Esther was accepted as scripture, we used the septuagint which contained lots of extra chapters in Esther.

The Church obviously accepted the extended versions of Daniel and Esther as scripture.

I agree, the Deuterocanon is Scripture :)

Another question though, if you don't mind me editing the OP a bit.

Which Books of the Duterocanon? Orthodox or Roman Catholic Canon?

[Zacharias]

Which Books of the Duterocanon? Orthodox or Roman Catholic Canon?

The Orthodox Canon. The Orthodox Church hasn't seemed to have any outrageous beliefs. Supposedly if you compare Orthodox doctrine with the early Church fathers you won't find contradictions. Where as (and I know this to be true) if you compare Vatican Catholic doctrine with the early Church fathers you will find contradictions.

Oh? Name ONE.

Useful for instruction.

[PaladinValer]

Fully Scripture, as it is stated quite clearly in the Council that canonized it (it basically is the same list that St. Augustine listed).

[benedictine]

I agree with Paladin. And an example, Borealis, is the Immaculate Conception. IT's 150 years old!

[AveMaria]

Fully Scripture, as it is stated quite clearly in the Council that canonized it (it basically is the same list that St. Augustine listed).

Ditto.

[gitlance]

I have a copy of the NRSV with both the entire Roman canon and the Greek/Slavonic canon. Every book that could be considered Scripture is in it. :holy:

[benedictine]

I also have that. I accept it all as canon, becouse it has been accepted by the Roman and Orthodox Church.
