The Apocrypha: The Lutheran Edition with Notes

[RadMan]

I realize people might find this offensive but I do believe the nonuse or outright antagonism towards the Apocrypha by many comes down to antiCatholicism and a lack of historical knowledge. Basically, a folk religion in and of itself where people cut themselves off from the historical church and then conclude after a time that the historical church must be just like they are. Often they believe it very strongly, especially when they grew up in such a group.

You might have a point but Luther started out by just wanting to change the RCC but in the end realized that they were just another sect and couldn't teach the truth.
