@Apocryphile, Yes I have to agree with you about Paul. I am now convinced that this document is inspired scripture. I've been borderline on it for along time but now I am no longer on the fence. The Wisdom of Solomon is true scripture. I don't specialize in the study of the Apocrypha but rather apologetics and pastoral counseling, but I might now take a closer look at some of the other books found in it.

[Apocryphile1970]

@DrStevenz Just remember, that outside of the Acts and the writings of Paul himself, the only NT reference to Paul comes from Second Peter. In that book, "Symeon" Peter 3:15 & 16 affirms that Paul writes about the same things he teaches. It is worth noting that 2 Peter was written around the Book of Jude, and that Jude quotes from at least 2, maybe even 3 pseudepigraphal sources in his defense of the "FAITH" that we are supposed to be fighting for.

[Apocryphile1970]

@DrStevenz Peter himself alludes to the Assumption of Moses in 2Pet 2:11 and the Story of Ahikar in 2Pet 2:22. If Peter is defending Jude, which uses noncanonical sources, uses them himself, and asserts that Paul does so as well, and seeing that Wisdom 5 is OBVIOUSLY referred to in Ephesians 6,

[Apocryphile1970]

@DrStevenz The Ascension of Isaiah in Hebrews 11:37, Second Maccabees in Hebrews 11:35, and the Wisdom of Solomon 13 in I Corinthians 1:21--possibly even by NAME, cleverly using a play on words--calling it the "Wisdom of God," then this all quite begs the question, who are we to question it?

[Apocryphile1970]

@DrStevenz If we distort the facts of the matter, then we are deceivers, plain and simple! We become involved in a lie, rather than the truth. We give our power over to the Father of Lies, since he has been given dominion over that kind of behavior!

I think we should treat the truth as sacred, and wherever it comes into conflict with our teaching, we should let God be true and every man a liar. That is how we will prevail. Our deliverance comes through this curse, we just have to cast it off!

[DrStevenz]

I read the "Wisdom of Solomon" last night and I can't see anything within it that definitly would go against it being inspired. It is great document.

[Apocryphile1970]

@DrStevenz We can therefore give him--at long last--the utterance he has within him to speak boldly as he himself attests in the selfsame chapter. May we speak the truth of this and turn our condemnation into salvation. Amen!

I like what you are doing I have been labeled a heritic,even by my own family,but the spirit in me knows these great inspired words. Good work; God speed.
