Jews are petty and envious people. They couldn't stomach a Greek conquering all those peoples that had enslaved them.

He is. Read the Book of Daniel, you retards.

But he is. Except that protestants chopped out the book where he is mentioned.

Catholic, Orthodox, Coptic and the rest of the oriental Christian churches have the books where Alexander, and even the Romans, are mentioned, among many other things.

His empire is during the "silent years" (about 400 years) between the two testaments.

He is mentioned you twit.

He is. But its nowhere as much as based Cyrus the Great.

why did they do that?

The apocrypha was cut out because it doesn't fit the canon, and therefore ought not be considered divinely inspired.
This is true, however, for the sake of the rest of you, I'll just post it here. Daniel prophesied all of this.

Daniel 8:5-8 - "As I was considering, behold, a male goat came from the west across the face of the whole earth, without touching the ground. And the goat had a conspicuous horn between his eyes. He came to the ram with the two horns, which I had seen standing on the bank of the canal, and he ran at him in his powerful wrath. I saw him come close to the ram, and he was enraged against him and struck the ram and broke his two horns. And the ram had no power to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground and trampled on him. And there was no one who could rescue the ram from his power. Then the goat became exceedingly great, but when he was strong, the great horn was broken, and instead of it there came up four conspicuous horns toward the four winds of heaven."

Daniel 8:21-22 - "And the goat is the king of Greece. And the great horn between his eyes is the first king. As for the horn that was broken, in place of which four others arose, four kingdoms shall arise from his nation, but not with his power."

For more context, Daniel 8:20 - "As for the ram that you saw with the two horns, these are the kings of Media and Persia."

Luther got rid of any books which conflicted with his theology.

That is the official reason given by protestants, yes. Whether you agree with it or think it's theologically correct is another issue.

After the rise of christianism, the Jews were afraid of losing followers to this new religion.

First Christians used a Greek translation of the bible. The Jews then decided that the scripture should only be read in Hebrew, in order to differentiate themselves from Christians.

But at that time, the Hebrew version of done biblical books was lost, and so modern day Jewish bibles do not have some of the old testament books that Christians have.

Centuries later, Luther decided that only books sacred to the Jews should be sacred to Christians, and so to this day protestants lack biblical books that the older churches have.

Alexander is mentioned in at least one of those books.

it does.

>What is Hellenistic Judaism

1This history begins when Alexander the Great, son of Philip of Macedonia, marched from Macedonia and attacked Darius, king of Persia and Media. Alexander enlarged the Greek Empire by defeating Darius and seizing his throne. 2 He fought many battles, captured fortified cities, and put the kings of the region to death. 3 As he advanced to the ends of the earth, he plundered many nations; and when he had conquered the world, he became proud and arrogant. 4 By building up a strong army, he dominated whole nations and their rulers, and forced everyone to pay him taxes.

5-7 When Alexander had been emperor for twelve years, he fell ill and realized that he was about to die. He called together his generals, noblemen who had been brought up with him since his early childhood, and he divided his empire, giving a part to each of them. 8 After his death, the generals took control, 9 and each had himself crowned king of his own territory. The descendants of these kings ruled for many generations and brought a great deal of misery on the world.

I Maccabees, 1 1-9.

Catholics aren't Christian

edgy

Actually, Luther decided Paul was write when he said that God entrusted His oracles to the Jews, and this fact combined with the fact that the Jews never believed the apocrypha was scripture proves that it is not scripture. That, and the fact we do not have the original Hebrew but only a Greek translation means they are lost books and have not been preserved.

because it isnt a history book christcuck

>except when every history book backs up the statements, and prophecies, made.
God bless :^)

Begrudgingly.

He also moved it to the back

>king of Greece
Actually, the original text calls him king of "Javan", one of the descendants of Japheth, which is often translated into "Greek", but not necessarily.

>"christianism" instead of "Christianity"
Is this some meme?
