Well the reason itās on the Bible today is because it has been in the Bible.
First, Sadducee test Jesus by asking about the woman with seven husbands who died,
wondering to whom she would be married after the resurrection. Obviously from TOBIT!!!
Thatās the most relevant as I can get, but some more information below:
Before and During the time of Jesus, there were different Jewish sects, each with their own par-
ticular canon, and the matter was never settled by the Jews until LONG after the Ascension of
Christ. By then, the Jewish leaders (after the Temple was destroyed) were understanding that
early Christians were using their own writings, particularly well also, to prove that Jesus is the
Messiah and even God.
In response to this, leaders such as Rabbi Akiva, who were particularly antichrist (1 John 2:22),
started to reform Judaism, no more sacrifices for lack of Temple, no more High Priest also lack-
ing the needed genealogical records, and even changing the Scriptures. It was by that time that
Judaism had their OFFICIAL canon, excluding the Deuterocanonical books, especially Wisdom
which probably is the most clear Old Testament witness to the coming of Jesus (See Chapter 2).
Not only were books rejected, but some things that were kept were ALSO CHANGED!
Take Psalm 45:Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre
of thy kingdom is a sceptre of uprightness.
ā ( Psalm 45:6)
That was a prophetic verse foretelling of the Messiah, but Jews didnāt like the idea
that their Messiah would be God, so they changed it (perhaps unintentionally) to :Thy throne given of God is for ever and ever; A
sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
ā (Psalm 45:7 - JPS Tanakh 1917)
(Also):Your throne, O judge, [will exist] forever and ever; the scepter of equity is the scepter of your kingdom.
ā ( Psalm 45:7 - From
chabad.org)
Too late though, because we have the more ancient and unedited
manuscripts saying different, corroborated in the New Testament:But to the Son: Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever:
a sceptre of justice is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
ā (Hebrews 1:8)
We also have David saying in one of his psalms (110) that:The Lord said to my Lord: Sit thou at my right hand: Until I make thy enemies thy footstool.
ā (Psalm 110:1)
The most ancient manuscript containing that verse uses the word Adonai in
both cases of āLordā, Adonai referring most often to God. Again, Jews didnāt
like the idea that the Messiah, to which Psalm 110 was referring, being God.
So modern Jewish versions will read not āAdonai and Adonaiā, but "Adonai
and āADONIā, āAdoniā being a lesser to āAdonai.ā
When is reads āAdonai spoke to my Adoni,ā in modern Jewish versions
again it should truly read āAdonai spoke to my Adonai,ā and this is corā
roborated by the Dead Sea Scrolls.
So after discussing the reformation of Judaism, reformulation of Scripture, based in part
from antichrist-based attitudes towards the growth of Christianity, and especially the ed-
iting of the Tanakh to take the Divinity of the Messiah away, you may want to do some
more research on this yourself before sharing, see if I got everything correct for you.
Let me add to make clear: The Old Testament used by Protestants is the product
of antichristian Jews between the first and second century, and despite having un-
edited some of these changes, many Christian bibles today still bear the scars of
these edits, like if you read Psalm 110:1, seeing first āLORDā then āLord,ā THATĀ“s
from the Adonai/Adoni Edit, because many more recent bibles use the Masoretic
Texts, which are different from the pre-Christian Jewish Scriptures.
So with that, revisiting Tobit, Jews officially excluded it AFTER Christianity began, so they had no real au-
thority anymore, itās been part of the Christian Bible since the beginning, and Protestants who reject Tobit
and other Deuterocanonical works are party to antichrists (Again: 1 John 2:22) such as that Rabbi Akiva.
