9. The Error of Adding the Apocrypha, Apocryphal, or Hidden Books
- members.aol.com
- APOCRYPHA: Greek, apokryphos. ...
- The word Apocrypha which is used to describe these writings, was actually coined by the 5th-century scholar named Jerome. ...
- The Jewish canon does not contain the Apocrypha. ... We see they quoted liberally from the very same Old Testament books which Protestants use today, and which the Jewish people utilize to this very day, and never once quote from the Apocrypha. Likewise, the New Testament writers quote from almost all of the Old Testament books, but do not ever quote from the Apocrypha. ...
- The general Apocrypha consists of these fifteen books. ...
- If the Jewish Theologians of the Old Testament Congregation of God (Who of course were used of God to write that Old Testament) didn't have the Apocrypha books in their Old Testament text, why would any Christian Church growing from that very same Old Testament Hebrew Congregation, consider adding these Apocryphal books as part of the Old Testament Hebrew?

- So again, if these apocrypha books were God inspired text, they would have been in the Hebrew texts used by God's Chosen People. ...
- Many hold up the Septuagint as a standard for including the Apocrypha books, but the Septuagint is simply a Hellenistic period translation of both the Hebrew Text (Old Testament inspired writings), and the Apocrypha writings (with the exception of second Esdras) into the Greek. It's not one group of writings translated into Greek, it's both the inspired Old Testament text, and the books called Apocrypha placed together and translated into one book. ... Being that this Greek translation included this Apocrypha, and Greek being the predominant language, it understandably became thought of by some as one set of books. ... The Hebrew Text was one collection of Jewish books (inspired) and the Apocrypha books were another collection of Jewish writings (uninspired). ... It's interesting to note that the Jewish Aquila version of the Old Testament (early 2nd century), which supplanted the Septuagint, did not contain the Apocrypha. ...
- They simply look upon the age of the septuagint as some sort of litmus test for it's accuracy in including the apocrypha. But simply because the Septuagint is an old Greek copy of the Hebrew and Apocrypha, does not mean it was correct in including the Hebrew and Apocrypha books together. ...

- The larger corpus includes the works of Philo and Josephus; the Jewish Pseudepigrapha (covered in a symposium paper last year); and the Old Testament Apocrypha. The purpose of this paper is to apply methods and insights from ritual studies to further our understanding of the last group, the Old Testament Apocrypha.
- The Old Testament Apocrypha consist of a collection of Hellenistic works, including books on scriptural or Jewish themes (1 Esdras, Tobit, Judith, the Wisdom of Solomon, Ben Sira, Baruch, the Epistle of Jeremiah, 1-2 Maccabees) and a number of supplements to books of the Hebrew Bible (Additions to Esther, the Prayer of Azariah and the Song of the Three Hebrew Youths, Susanna, Bel and the Dragon, the Prayer of Manasseh, Psalm 151). ... Much of Ben Sira survives in Hebrew and some of Tobit in Aramaic, but the Apocrypha are preserved in their entirety only in other languages such as Greek, Syriac, and Latin. ...

- E) the Early Church did "indeed" quote the Apocrypha as Scripture, contrary to what we've been told.
- So, it is no surprise that these "leaders" succeeded in removing all of the Apocrypha from the KJV in 1769. ...
- Why aren't we now concerned about the fact that our Bibles are missing the Apocrypha, if this was done this way? Ans: Because it was the natural order of things in life, since, "all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the" Bible containing the Apocrypha. Consequently, everything was in place for this "new" generation of Christians (and all succeeding ones) to make the false assumption that the Apocrypha was never in the Bible, nor was it received as Scripture. ...
- Therefore, hasn't it been a foregone conclusion in our minds that the Apocrypha is not Scripture? Haven't we been taught this from the first time we started to come into a knowledge of the Bible? Then I ask: How can we NOW "objectively" decide this matter, without deep investigation, since we have lived for so long under a false assumption?.
- E) the Early Church did "indeed" quote the Apocrypha as Scripture, contrary to what we've been told.
