Are they all Inspired?

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, (2 Timothy 3:16)

--------------

THE ULTIMATE QUESTION IS WHICH SCRIPTURES ARE GOD BREATHED?? BELOW ARE LIST OF SCRIPTURES WHICH PAUL SEEMS TO BELIEVE ARE INSPIRED WHICH ARE IN YOUR BIBLE !!! IF THEY ARE NOT IN YOUR BIBLE EVER WONDERED WHY NOT?..

The Catholic Church (Canon: 73 books)

The Catholic church as we have mentioned carries a canon of 73 books that includes Tobit, Judith, Greek additions to Esther(from the LXX), Sirach, Baruch, the letter of Jeremiah, three Greek additions to Daniel (the Prayer of Azariah and the Song of the three Jews, Susanna, and Bell and the Dragon), 1 and 2 Maccabees. 

The Protestant Church (Canon: 66 books)

Unlike the Catholic Church, the Protestant Church does not follow the Septuagint or the Latin Vulgate in its canon of scripture. Rather, it follows the Hebrew canon and the 27 books of the New Testament. This yields a total of 66 books as mentioned at the beginning of the article.

Greek Orthodox Church (Canon: 77 books)

The canon of the Greek Orthodox Church includes the all the books of the Catholic canon and in addition to that it also includes 1 Esdras, the prayer of Menasseh, Psalms 151, and 3 Meccabees. That means the Greek Orthodox canon consists of 77 books. The Slavonic canon on the other hand includes 2 Esdras, but designates 1 and 2 Esdras as 2 and 3 Esdras. Other eastern churches have 4 Meccabees as well.  

The Coptic Church(Canon: 29 books in NT)

The canon of the Coptic Church contains all the 27 books, but, adds the two epistles of Clement.[17] This means the Coptic New Testament canon consists of 29 books.

The Ethiopic Church (Canon: 81 books)

The Ethiopic canon is divided into what is called the ‘narrower’ canon and ‘broader’ canon.

“The Ethiopic church has the largest Bible of all, and distinguishes different canons, the “narrower” and the “broader,” according to the extent of the New Testament. The Ethiopic Old Testament comprises the books of the Hebrew Bible as well as all of the deuterocanonical books listed above, along with Jubilees, I Enoch, and Joseph ben Gorion’s (Josippon’s) medieval history of the Jews and other nations. The New Testament in what is referred to as the “broader” canon is made up of thirty-five books, joining to the usual twenty-seven books eight additional texts, namely four sections of church order from a compilation called Sinodos, two sections from the Ethiopic Book of the Covenant, Ethiopic Clement, and Ethiopic Didascalia. When the “narrower” New Testament canon is followed, it is made up of only the familiar twenty-seven books, but then the Old Testament books are divided differently so that they make up 54 books instead of 46. In both the narrower and broader canon, the total number of books comes to 81.” (emphasis added)

Return of the fig tree!

Jesus sinned by destroying the fig tree according to the Torah, Whereas a Rabbi prayed and Figs appeared !   

And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it. 

(Mark 11:13-14)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notice how Jesus thought there were figs on the tree not knowing it wasn't the seasons of figs.  Without delay he cursed the fig tree and it “dried up from its roots”. If Jesus was God wouldn’t he have known the fig tree would not bear it’s fruits due to the season it was in. The Torah tells us destroying a tree of Fruits is prohibited even those of an enemy in the time or war!

When you lay siege to a city for a long time, fighting against it to capture it, do not destroy its trees by putting an ax to them, because you can eat their fruit. Do not cut them down. Are the trees people, that you should besiege them? (Deuteronomy 20:19)

--------------------

Now coming back to the story of Jesus and the fig tree, this indeed is a very problematic story for Christians. If Jesus really was the Son of god and could perform miracles, then he had no power to cause the tree to bear fruits but instead destroying it. According to the Talmud this actually occurred. The Talmud describes a story wherein Rabbi yosi's son wanted to feed his workers and the fig tree had not figs. Rabbi yosi cried out loud " fig tree fig tree send forth your fruit" and the tree produced figs and they ate.  (Talmud  Tannis 24a )

The story from the Talmud completely nailed the story of Mark. All the Rabbi yosi did was ask and Bham figs blossomed. Something Jesus of the Bible could not do.

son of a Rabbi was able to get figs from a tree, which even Jesus was unable to do being the supposed "son of god"

This indeed is a very problematic story for Christians. If Jesus really was the Son of god and could perform miracles, then why didn't he cause the tree to bear fruits, instead he destroy it. According to the Talmud this actually occurred. The Talmud describes a story wherein Rabbi yosi's son wanted to feed his workers and the fig tree had not figs. Rabbi yosi cried out loud " fig tree fig tree send forth your fruit" and the tree produced figs and they ate.

The Gemara asks: What is the incident involving his son? One day Rabbi Yosei from Yokrat hired day laborers to work his field. It grew late and he did not bring them food. The workers said to the son of Rabbi Yosei from Yokrat: We are starving. They were sitting under a fig tree, so the son said: Fig tree, fig tree. Yield your fruits, so that my father’s workers may eat. The fig tree yielded fruit, and they ate. ( (Talmud Tannit 24a )

the son of the Rabbi merely said yield your fruits and it blossomed, not even Jesus could do that.

how embarrassing!
