So does Leviticus November 10, 2009

Joel’s recent post on the Deuterocanon finished on an amusing note:
Two of the silliest notions about these books are:
- The Jews don’t accept them
- They teach unChristian doctrines
To number one, I say, and? The Jews don’t accept the New Testament books either. Further, the Jewish canon wasn’t settled until after the New Testament was written – until after the Temple was destroyed.
And number two? So does Leviticus.
And number two? So does Leviticus. Ha! Good stuff, Joel.
Thanks, Damian!
As you can see from the comments section, it got a good discussion going.
By the way, I have another post, which this kinda set up, coming tomorrow, I think.
