Christian’s answer this question don’t beat around the bush.

Why is wisdom described as “her”? Like 7:35 KJV

35But wisdom is justified of all her children.

Also. You were told there were only 66 books of ancient Hebrew text. This is INCORRECT. There’s only 66 books that the Roman Catholic Church allowed in “their” canon.

There’s way more… one set of books being the Apocrypha. The 1611 KJV was known to have it in the canon at the time.

Here is a passage from Wisdom of Solomon 7

Wisdom of Solomon 7:22 For wisedome which is the worker of all things, taught mee: for in her is an vnderstanding spirit holy, one onely, manifold, subtile, liuely, cleare, vndefiled, plaine, not subiect to hurt, louing the thing that is good, quicke, which cānot be letted, ready to do good:
Wisdom of Solomon 7:23 Kinde to man, stedfast, sure, free from care, hauing all power, ouerseeing all things, and going through all vnderstanding, pure, and most subtile spirits.
Wisdom of Solomon 7:24 For wisedome is more moouing then any motion: she passeth and goeth through all things by reason of her purenesse.
Wisdom of Solomon 7:25 For she is the breath of the power of God, and a pure influence flowing from the glory of the Almighty: therefore can no vndefiled thing fall into her.
Wisdom of Solomon 7:26 For shee is the brightnesse of the euerlasting light: the vnspotted mirrour of the power of God, and the Image of his goodnesse.
Wisdom of Solomon 7:27 And being but one she can doe all things: and remayning in her selfe, she maketh all things new: and in all ages entring into holy soules, she maketh them friends of God, & Prophets.
Wisdom of Solomon 7:28 For God loueth none but him, that dwelleth with wisedome.

Not all 66 books in the Bible were Hebrew text.

27 are in New Testament Greek!@malizz

Diotrephes · 70-79, M

@Tanya02 They are translations written in Modern Greek.

Wrong@Diotrephes

Diotrephes · 70-79, M

@Tanya02 You couldn't produce an original legitimate, authentic, copy of the New Testament written in an ancient Greek alphabet for all of the gold in the Milky Way Galaxy. If you can, do it right now.

Tanya02 · 41-45, F

Wrong@Diotrephes

Diotrephes · 70-79, M

@Tanya02 If that is true that I'm wrong then you can easily produce some verifiable evidence. Please do so.

Lynda70 · F

@Tanya02 Simply repeating the word "Wrong" only goes to prove you cannot support your claim with real evidence.

Diotrephes · 70-79, M

@Lynda70 Just because it's written in Greek doesn't mean that it was written in one of the ancient Greek alphabets.

If you want to play detective look at this manuscript page. You will notice how blurry it is even under high magnification. Maybe there's a nefarious reason for that when even a pre-teen could take a better picture.

Now compare the letters from the ancient Greek alphabets to the letters in the manuscript. Do you see Modern Greek letters or ancient Greek letters?

Please let us know what you find.

It is written in the common Greek spoken in New Testament times. It was the lingua Franca of the people. Just try and ge a bit informed instead of making wild guesses@Diotrephes

Can you explain why it is written in the Modern Greek alphabet?

Mathers · 61-69

For the same reason ancient Latin is written in the modern alphabet@Diotrephes

Diotrephes · 70-79, M

@Mathers You are too funny! You just admitted that the manuscripts are hoaxes.

Mathers · 61-69

You have just admitted you know nothing . Haven’t you been and seen the dead sea scrolls or the manuscripts in the Rylands library in Manchester? This is the whole point that the language has not changed very much since those times. We have thousands of manuscripts. Please stop showing off your ignorance and read some books of proper scholarship. @Diotrephes

Diotrephes · 70-79, M

@Mathers Those are 100% fakes. They needed to write them to support the lie. You will never see clear and legible photos of all of them. If you have some, please provide the link for our education. Thank you.

Mathers · 61-69

Oh boy go and crawl into your ignorant hole. Every leading scholar in the world has acknowledged them. @Diotrephes

Diotrephes · 70-79, M

@Mathers All I'm asking of you is to provide a link that shows clear legible copies of the materials that you say support the fairytale. If you are unable to do so then you have zero credibility. But if you can provide a legitimate link that shows the evidence you will be taken seriously. Which option will you take?

Mathers · 61-69

Take a trip to Jerusalem and see the dead sea scrolls like I have done. They are fully verified . Or read ‘Jesus and the eyewitnesses’ by Professor Baukham which embodies the latest research into the textual criticism of the New Testament. Get yourself an education rather than stay in ignorance. You obviously know nothing about what you are talking about otherwise you wouldn’t say the things you do. ’@Diotrephes

Diotrephes · 70-79, M

@Mathers Don't you think they have an agenda in validating the lies that support the fairytale? I'm still waiting for you to provide a credible link that has clear and legible photos of your evidence. Why are you incapable to providing such a link?

Diotrephes · 70-79, M

@Mathers OK, you are leaving me no choice but to call your claim 100% maggot shit. You made a statement and have zero evidence to support your delusions. If there was any truth to it there would be clear and legible copies of it all over the place.

Are there any Jewish fairytales you don't believe in? There's a verse in the Bible that says that they are all bullshit.

Mathers · 61-69

My dear friend there are are thousands of clear and legible copies all over the place if you just get off your rear and do some research. You might be interested that the new Testament is the best attested of all ancient documents . As it is you show your insecurity and ignorance by calling people names. But there is none so deaf as those who won’t hear. @Diotrephes

Diotrephes · 70-79, M

@Mathers OK, if there are thousands of clear and legible copies all over the place why are you incapable of providing at least one link?

Mathers · 61-69

Go to Jerusalem and see the dead sea scrolls. Go to the Rylands library in Manchester and see the copy from 125 AD . You are just incapable of reading anything that disagrees with your narrow worldview@Diotrephes

Diotrephes · 70-79, M

@Mathers Well, here's a link that says that they are maggot shit =

Where Are the Other Fake Fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls?
Sixteen forgeries have been discovered so far in the collections of unsuspecting evangelicals. Experts have suspicions about many more.

@Mathers

if you just get off your rear and do some research.

It's for you to provide the evidence to support your claims. Those who have done the research know you're just spouting bullshit.

Mathers · 61-69

If you actually read this piece (I take it you can read?) you would gather there is a marker for forgeries of the Dead Sea Scrolls. There is only a market because there are genuine scrolls, my friend.
Just read on: ‘ Scholars continue to make discoveries studying the original Dead Sea Scrolls fragments. Earlier this year, the University of Manchester in England announced that some of its seemingly blank pieces—donated to scholarship by the Jordanian government in the 1950s—actually contain words, possibly from the first verses of Ezekiel 46.’
