I have a Douay- rheims in basement and use a King James on my computer ; I do not have a problem with the 7 extra books , was raised Roman Catholic . The last 10 years I have been a memeber of a Protestant Word of Faith Church .

Many say that Luther started the reformation , took out the apocrypha , etc. which is not the case .

Few people on the RCC side even know all the players in the Reformation : Zwlingli , Calvin , Wycliffe , Huss , Luther , Ferill , Zinzendorf ,etc.

Some say Jerome who went back and made the Vulgate , Latin version , from the original languages , said they were " works of a lesser nature - deuterocanoconical texts " , not to be used for doctrine .

When Baruch , Sirach , and Wisdom were used to substantiate doctrine ( what Jerome and some of the fathers spoke against ) reformers removed and catholics left .... was the spin I got to date ...

I would prefer that the NAB , DR , and Catholic authorized versions , had them between the covenants , where most of the original english versions placed them , instead of scattered throughout the Old Covenant ....

would make it easier to dialogue between catholic and protestant .... if books were set up similar or as a parallel bible was ...

Well, Luther did start the Reformation and was the one who rejected the apocrypha as an inspired work.

You have my VOTE!! :clap: :clap:
Yes! Number 4 :D

Did luther add the apocryypha as an appendix? Was it identified as seprate reading materal.
I'm not sure how he ordered it, I know for a long time it was included in a seperate section of the bible.




VP choice??

:confused:
