PART SIX First: The objections to the Book and they respond to them. Second: The references. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Argument that the writer calls upon the reader at the forefront of the Book, forgives him for the perception that may have occurred from the mentioned of the inappropriate meanings of words to the effect that he apologizes for the lapses and failures in the Book writing. If so, how was the Book inspired, if it were some errors, and if it was inadequate? Some say that the author of the Book talked, among the things he talked about in the Book, about a wrong doctrine not recognized by the church, and that is, the doctrine of reincarnation of soul, This would drop the Book from the Books of revelation. “And he shall bring it to the door of the testimony before the Lord, and shall put his hand upon the head thereof, and shall sacrifice it to the Lord.” (Leviticus4: 4) “And the ancients of the people shall put their hands upon the head thereof before the Lord. And the calf being immolated in the sight of the Lord.” (Leviticus4: 15) “And afterwards shall come to know his sin, he shall offer a buck goat without blemish, a sacrifice to the Lord.” (Leviticus4: 23) “Let him do penance for his sin.” (Leviticus5: 5) In honor of saints, the Lord has considered that whoever praise them, have praised him, "He that heareth you, heareth me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth me; and he that despiseth me, despiseth him that sent me." (Luke10: 16). About Thimuthaos, Apostle Paul said, "Receive him therefore with all joy in the Lord; and treat with honour such as he is." (Phil2: 29). Even after the death of the Saint, we believe that the God also,(not people only) glorifies them, the dead were buried in the tomb of Olisha, and when the bones of the dead touched Olisha, it became alive again, and stood up on his legs. "And some that were burying a man, saw the rovers, and cast the body into the sepulchre of Eliseus. And when it had touched the bones of Eliseus, the man came to life, and stood upon his feet." (2Kings13: 21). As for the Orthodox and Catholics have participated in the formulation of Book, the answer is the Book codified in the seventy’s translation of the Torah, 280 BC., before the arrival of Christ and the Church and the Orthodox and Catholics, by hundreds of years.

Third: Other books for the author
First: The objections to the Book and the respond to them.
Objection one:
Response:
We answered by saying, who wrote this Book is not the Book writer, but his grandson, which has translated into Greek from Hebrew. These words are not contained in the Book itself, but in the preface written by the translator, which the translator wrote it in modesty and it is not a fault of the Book itself.
Objection two:
Response:
We answer and say that this is not correct. The Book did not mention, from near or far, of doctrine of the reincarnation, but the Book fought the wrong and corrupt beliefs. In Chapter 34 in particular, we find him saying, “5 Deceitful divinations and lying omens and the dreams of evildoers, are vanity: 6 And the heart fancieth as that of a woman in travail: except it be a vision sent forth from the most High, set no thy heart upon them. 7 For dreams have deceived many, and they have failed that put their trust in them. 8 The word of the law shall be fulfilled without a lie, and wisdom shall be made plain in the mouth of the faithful.” (S34: 5-8)
Objection three:
Some say that the Book calls for non-evangelical beliefs, (such as confessions of sins as a condition for the exercise of repentance) (S4: 31). In addition, the glorification of the saints, and the maximizing of the parents, the prophets, the kings, the judges, the priests and others, (as it shows in chapters from 44 to 50). In addition, it is possible that the Catholic and Orthodox churches directly involved in the formulation of the Book because they have an interest in that, particularly if it serves their faith.
Response:
We respond by saying that the practice of confession is of the doctrine advocated by the evangelical prophet Jacob, "Confess therefore your sins one to another: and pray one for another, that you may be saved. For the continual prayer of a just man availeth much." (James5: 16). John the Baptist, used to force whoever recognize his baptism to confess his sins, “And were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins." (Matt3: 6). The confession of sin issue, was mention in the Old Testament, where they were, prior to presenting the slaughtered to the submission of sin, put their hands on their head and confess.
