Why Was the Apocrypha Removed from the Bible?

I was honestly expecting to hear some myths. But pleasantly surprised you were 100% correct and non-bias. Impressive!

Just found your channel! Appreciate the insight! Now I need to watch your others.. I have the "Complete 54 Book Apocrypha 2022 Edition". Also, I use the Septuagint in conjunction with the Hebrew text during my studies. Together, I believe they yield greater insight than using one or the other alone. Something happened in the 1800s all over the world. Odd how prior to them, quality of life was unchanged for thousands of years but exploded afterwards. Bible versions exploded, the movement to rebuild Israel, etc.. The way we understood the bible was highly altered from that point on as well. I believe the removal of the Apocrypha highlights the delusion of the church and how much power others give authoritative figures in the church, when they effectively have none. That's truly a tragedy.

Good content, great information! This Really needs to be out in circulation more. My brother and I talked about this a lot. He finally got himself a copy to read with the apocrypha included to get himself a better picture of what has happened over the years.

The Ethiopian Bible did not remove them.

People will be surprised when they figure out that there are dozens of passages that Messiah and the apostles quoted from the Apocrypha.

Very informative and easy to understand. Thanks for the brilliant explanation ❤

Thank you for your concise and informative video. Really liked your insight and gentle delivery of your message.

Lord, we thank You for the blessings of each day, including the gift of good health and financial provision. Help us to cherish these blessings and not take them for granted. Give us the courage to face any challenges that may come our way, knowing that You are with us always. May we live each day with gratitude and contentment, trusting in Your unfailing love and provision. Amen.

Great video! Heard you loud and clear

I just recently discovered many "deuterocanonical" books have many of the same scriptures that are in the New Testament. It's just luther wanted to remove them because his personal interpretation didn't agree. They confirm purgatory and he didn't agree with that and I believe thats why we have over 40,000 different Christian denominations now because of one rogue priest the Catholic church didn't sell indulgences rogue priests did that.He even wanted to remove the book of revelation, hebrews, james and jude. He was a book burner I'm almost done reading them and they aren't saying to do anything wrong they shouldn't of been removed but I'm Catholic so I consider them to be inspired. I was told by others that I shouldn't read them but now I know how wrong they were.The Catholic church decided the canon and compiled and put the bible together and the septuagint was read by christ and the apostles and if Christ didnt remove them then why did some rogue priest have a right to?? You owe your modern bibles to the holy spirit and the catholic church.

Thank you for the video

I like your calm cheerful demeanor. Makes such a divisive topic fun to learn about 😅

Beautifully done 🙏🏾

I want to know more because there are so many references to these books in the Bible.

@gclmedia “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:” ‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬ If the “apocrypha” books are not “canon” but the Bible talks about some of the books that have events that are not in the Bible then it contradicts 2 Timothy 3:16. I always point out to Jude verse 14 where that prophecy of Enoch is not found anywhere in the KJ version of the Bible but it’s found in the book of Jasher. Great post and straight to the point. King James ordered the Geneva Bible illegal which contains those apocryphal books and was still popular after his version came out because it contained annotations questioning the bishop’s power and his own. Just found out today. God bless you.

Excellent, informative video to the point! Thx!

I can respect an articulate unpretentious pastor for change; Godspeed sir

If you are talking about the NT apocryphal books I don’t think they were ever put in widely. Most of the books were excepted for years by tradition and when the NT was formally compiled those were the books that were accepted. Books like revelation had the most trouble getting into the official NT cannon.

The fact that any book is quoted in the New Testament does not by itself mean that the quoted book is necessarily inspired and part of the canon of scripture. The same would be true of books that are quoted in the Old Testament.

THANK YOU FINALLY THE EXPLANATION I WAS LOOKING FOR
