Tobit is found not only in the Septuagint, but in the Dead Sea Scrolls in Qumran (in both Hebrew and Aramaic). Jerome’s translation of the Bible into Latin is from an Aramaic source. It is contained in the Codex Vaticanus, Alexandrinus, Venetus, and Sinaiticus, to name a few.

The Council of Carthage in 397 declared it canonical and Trent in 1546 confirmed it. Jesus and the Apostles used the Septuagint and so did all the early Christians, which contains Tobit. They all believed it to be Scripture every bit as much as Genesis. On whose authority do you declare Tobit non canonical?

"woops my mistake"

Good, now we know without a doubt that the folks who ignore what Christ Himself said believe the the Pharisees but not Jesus Christ and His Apostles.

That's always the starting point for those who apply the Lego Block Method of Scripture Interpretation as part of their pretending to be Christian while at the same time denying deity of Jesus Christ by calling Christ a liar. First they throw out the Christian canon, then they reinterpret or ignore whatever doesn't fit with their worship of their Most High and Holy Self, and finally they openly admit that they believe in Their Own Personal Interpretation of Scripture even when doing so denies the deity of Christ by calling Christ a liar.

I'm glad we've finally gotten a complete, clear, and open, admission that when someone claims to believe in "Scripture Alone" it doesn't mean they believe in the Bible as the Word of God. It really means they believe in their own Most High and Holy Self and whatever portions of the Scripture they can twist to suit their own preconceptions and preferences. Not only can they rationalize any sort of behavior, they believe they are their own God and Savior in spite of their pretense of being Christian. Otherwise, they'd accept the same Scriptures Christ and the Apostles accepted, quoted, and preached from.

Christ not making note of there being any errors in the Septuagint proves a) "Scripture Alone" is a bogus concept because Christ didn't make an issue of what was contained in the Scriptures, b) the Scriptures as embodied by the Septuagint are the true Scriptures because if they were not Christ and the Apostles would surely have taken issue with them, and c) those who like the Pharisees remove part of the Scriptures Christ and the Apostles accepted do so for the same reason the Pharisees removed those portions of the Scripture, to obscure The Word as embodied in Jesus Christ our King.

have a nice day
