The New Testament Apocrypha

[theseed]

The Pharisees accepted the Hebrew bible as we know it today, the OT. The Saducess only excepted the first 5 books (Pentateuch) which is The Law.

Also, here is an online copy of the New American Bible with the deuterocanonicals.

So it was good for edification and training in rightousness? And that does not mean that all Non-God inspired writing is not. That is also to say that Non-Christian religions are completely wrong.

But it, JeffreyLloyd, it looks like we will have to agree to disagree,

Wasn't the question about New Testament Apocrypha?

The church has never accepted those!

Hey you're right.

The NT apocrypha books that I've read are just stupid. I believe it was the apocalypse of Peter that depicts satan and the greek god Hades living together in hell. hehehe.

You know there are actually a few books mentioned in the bible that aren't in the apocrypha eiher. The book of Jasher, the acts of Solomon, the book of Enoch, etc. I rarely hear anyone discuss the canonicity of these books even though the bible mentions (and quotes Enoch) them.

Isn't the Book of Revelation Apochryphal in nature?

No, Apocalyptical, there's a big difference
