What Is the Apocrypha? 

What I recommend to do is to pray & pray alone to God. Don’t overthink because to be honest I’m confused as well on this issue. So what I say is to ask God for wisdom & grace. All you need is Christ in your heart & live through faith

Ikr. How comw do you cope with this?

True. That is why we need the help of the Holy Spirit to direct and guide us along His righteous path according to His word ~ Your ears will hear a word behind you, "This is the way, walk in it," whenever you turn to the right or to the left. Isaiah 30:21(NASB)

Nope it's a relationship. Little by little, get to know every book. Do not let anyone tell you different. This world is a big lie and most religious people dont know much. Yoi can do all the deeds of the church and you still wont make it to heaven. So be vigilant. And pray for discerment.

First of all my LOVE take a deep breath and exhale a few times. There is so much to learn. Right now you have what is called Monkey Brain. it is going everywhere. If you want to know your blood line take a DNA test. Now I say to you do not look back but look at the present and moving forward. You may be going through an awakening and it is a lot to take in. Sometimes you have to take a step back and remove yourself from all of this. I started to read a part of the bible that was removed and I also verified it at the museum and I was in shock. I went home and immediately removed all christmas decoration and got on my knees crying. I surrendered myself and to him and promised not to fight what he has laid out for me. I understand that you want to know your family but not to the point that you miss out on life. GOD has something planned for you but if you spend too much time looking backwards then the assignment GOD has for you will be given to another. I was so confused at one point that for the first time in my life I question Jesus. So one day I saw a tree that was dying and I cried out to Jesus if you are the son of GOD please heal this tree. If not then I ask GOD to bring death to this tree once and for all. The tree survived and every day I visit this tree when I walk my dog. I do not tell anyone which tree it is but it brings a smile to my face because that day when I touched that tree I felt what you are now feeling. I even stopped saying the pope and changed it to that pope because he is not the father. Your going through an awakening so my advice is to learn how to concentrate and focus. Dandapani has really great videos. You must learn concentration before you can begin to master meditation. Praying is speaking to GOD and meditation is listening to GOD. Praise our LORD and SAVIOR that you have awaken. So put your head up and be happy because most people in this world are lost and walking around like zombies. I hope this helps.

READ & continue to read. The lost books are of the lost tribes of Israel. The TRUE Hebrews. The direct descendants of Abraham, Jacob and Ham. Where were they? Africa... For more information... Shaynerodney95@hotmail.com

If curiosity is a sin to someone's God, that is not a God I could believe in; I refuse to be told I can't know anything or be limited on information. History was written by the winner of wars; I have lost my intrest for the "winners", so now its time to look for the truth. Also to note how any sect of religion starts, is because someone doesn't believe or think something could be true in the original; so its not cannon. Which i call bullshit on, again History is re-written by the victors, this includes religious history.

they are good books, I enjoyed reading them, they in no way changed my prior beliefs, nor did they influence me in believeing something different, it's kind of complimenteray information

This is good to know.

There are many gods, but there is only one True God above all gods, His/Her name is Good/Love.

Rightly so since every book of the apocrypha is contradictory at points with the scriptures. Read and learn the other 66 books well and the apocrypha won't be an issue. At all.

fun fact, the WHOLE bible is full of contradiction.@@roberttassone7676

It’s not, it simply contradicts your worldview. That’s called pride and you should work on it

I learned about it through esoteric philosophy research. Specifically when I was reading about gnostic. But I was intrigued about all of this stuff through storytelling too.

Best advice I heard from anyone on this topic.

I also have an old bible, but not a King James Bible, It also has Apocrypha and the chapters in it. It is old. And has been in my family for a very long time.

@@micheletravis9057 Hi there! May I ask if it is written in Greek or different language? I am full of curiosity and this is case also similar to something I have in mind. Thanks in advance, have a good day!

@@evangelinethompson1125 Hello, it is in between the Torah ( old testament ) And the new Testament. The Torah, was written in Hebrew And Greek, The New Testament was also written in the same language. As for Apocrypha, I am not sure what language it was written in because it was taken out of the bible a long time ago. You can buy a bible with Apocrypha in it, on Amazon., As well as the book of Enoch, which was also taken out of our bible, but is still in the bible in Ethiopa

You can also get a bible where part of it is translated from Aramaic, the language Jesus spoke. There are some amazing diffences

@@micheletravis9057 That is so very kind of you to explain a lot to me, thank you so much! I do gladly appreciate it. :)

LegoGuy87 the reason that we use the same books that the jews use, is that they only worship out of the old testament. also, since jews wrote the old testament and only use the old testament, it is logical to use what they use

The catholic church is evil

Because the Apocrypha is the true hidden books that the “adopted” Jews kept out... for more info.. Shaynerodney95@hotmail.com

This books are reject by post Christian jews who also rejected the new testament so why go by a cult what rejects the new testament... The other jewish sect that didn't reject them was what's now known as Christians Catholics...

@@Robbthetruth "is evil"???? Ha Ha Ha! Is that all you have to say? Is that all 4 Founders together can concoct?? sounds ridiculous

Trust in the word of God 🙏 not man! You get it! At least I'm not alone!

Now, how do you know which books were inspired by God??

Shaolin Showdown God inspired the Church father’s to write the New Testament and the Church fathers were CATHOLIC and the word “CATHOLIC” means UNIVERSAL !!!! And 1500 years after the New Testament was written and practiced by the universal church Martin Luther decided he didn’t like all of the books in the New Testament and he just removed them so no it’s not true Christianity It’s Luther’s Christianity but guess what??????? The universal (Catholic) church is still the SAME as it was for over two thousand years ....

@@vickytheodorides no proof. No verbal, no video, no (most importantly) scriptual proof. Not even circumstantial proof at the very least. Dogma and consensus is not truth. Have you ever thought to consider that people who go against the Catholic church had a humble truthful merit behind theyre rebeliousness? And couldn't God have ordained that separation and the use of the CC thelroughout the centuries? Is man really more in control than God on any plain? Listen to what your saying and me. Critical thinking over cognitive dissonance.

@@vickytheodorides and thats not true. The Catholic church has not been the same in doctrine over two thousand years. Firstly the Roman calender is 2020. The Catholic church formed in 4th century not 1st. And that's proven by scripture. The knowledge and spiritual doctrine is not on par with the Catholic church, so that couldn't be the case. Secondly.... the official stance of the Catholic church has changed in salvation from various councils and many even doctrine on expressions. Many cardinals and scholars of the CC have left or been excommunicated because of non agreements. So there has ALWAYS been a conflict within the CC. You either are ignorant and don't really know because your naive. Or you willingly choose to hold earthly material cultural dogma over Gods will.

They're def part of the canon. Jews and protestants and even later versions of the KJV removed them later on.

I think it was removed because this world is not ready for it. Even the Smithsonian has the remains of the Nephilim and won't show it. It is a very dangerous book for this century to comprehend. You have to be awaken and it finds it's way to you. I thought my friend was crazy when she told me. It was as if I was walking around with a fresh pair of eyes. Suddenly I started to look at all the logos and signs with demonic symbols. Hollywood is from the holly tree that was from a pagan GOD that ate children. What the wreath represent and the starbuck symbols and so on. But now I am ok and observe not absorb.

They tell you not to read the book of Enoch yet it confirms giants and why witchcraft came about when 200 angles ( son of man ) came and slept with the daughters of the earth . with this happened it gave birth to inhumane creatures giants . this was also a way to battle the seed ( jesus blood line with a fake one for the devil , leading to just one of the reasons god floods the earth . it's crazy but a preacher pastor darby really broke it down . also he's on RU-vid so look him up to confirm this information .

Enoch is called the son of man and messiah in the book of Enoch it clearly contradicts scripture it was never in the Bible canon

The book of Enoch directly contradicts the Bible. The book was never a part if the Bible and you saying that really shows how little you know.

@MTS 3 baby you must then wonder if the bible we have today now and the bibles before 1611 have 66books then who added them👀 the apocrypha was made and created by the catholics hence why all books of the apocrypha in some way or another contradict the true holy scripts which were recorded in all 66 books of the bible ;)

In Judaism it's called extra writings. Not part of the a Hebrew scriptures but extra for history

No he sent his son. Christ is part of God not the father himself dear. Thats why christ said only the father is good

​@@shel0016 Here we go again. Please show me in the scripture where Christ is the SECOND person of the so called Trinity. There is no Trinity. God is ONE. Didn´t GOD say i AM THE ONLY ONE! Jesus Christ is the name of our GOD, of our Son and Holy Ghost. Jesus said: "I came in the father's name". The name of the Son is the same name, because the body inherit the name of the Spirit. What did GOD say he was? He is the Spirit. Holy Ghost is the characteristic of GOD. "I AM HOLY". I sent the Holy Ghost in my name. Acts 4:10 Tells us the name and how many GODS there is. GOD has many functions, but only ONE name. Acts 2:38 = Peter Says which name saves you. When it says: " In the NAME of the father, son and Holy ghost" See how its written "NAME" not "NAMES". Just like i am Husband, seller, teacher, this all together are many of my functions but my name is only ONE. Hope this helps.

​@@SpiritualEagle Hello Nico, my hope is to share these scriptures with you so you would understand more who God claims to be in the bible. You are correct, there is only one God and there is no one like him. *(Isaiah 45:5) “I am the Lord, and there is no other; there is no God besides Me.” *(Deut 6:4) “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one” (Jeremiah 10:6) "There is none like you, O LORD; you are great, and your name is great in might." But we see God describe a plurality of himself, equating other distinct persons to have His image. *(Genesis 1:26) Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. The Spirit was present at creation *(Genesis 1:2) "The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters." Jesus was present at creation *(Colossians 1:16) "For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible," The Father was present with His Son at creation *(1 Corinthians 8:6) "yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist." 2. Jesus Himself declares himself as "in the Father", meaning one with Him as God. He also declares to be a distinct person from the Father, explaining the words he speaks belong to the Father, not himself. *(John 14:9-10) Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works.” You quoted Acts 2:38 .. describing two distinct people, with two distinct roles. 38 And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Jesus stated it is to our benefit that he leave so we can receive the Holy Spirit (the Helper) whom he (Jesus) would send. (John 16:7) Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. Three distinct people are named here which are the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Name is singular, testifying that they are all in one another fully God. *(Matthew 28:19-20) "in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you." Let's look at the verse before this even, where Jesus states authority was given to him from the Father. Again, distinct persons. (Matt 11:27 for further proof) *(Matthew 28:18) "And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me." There would be no need for the Father to transfer authority if they were not distinct. A scripture that shows all 3 distinct people performing 3 distinct actions. Matthew 3:16-17 16 And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him; 17 and behold, a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.” The three distinct persons of the ONE God are all present here. The Son, obediently fulfilling all righteousness (Matt 3:15), the Holy Spirit descending to rest on Jesus, and the Father affirming that Jesus was in fact His Son. Scripture interprets scripture. God is three in One. One God, three distinct persons. These persons share in the divine attributes of God because they are each part of the God Head and take on distinct roles. Lastly, "sent in my Name.." declares by whos authority they were went. Not that they are the same person

He was always going to do that even in the Old Testament

@@Southernplate Sad but true.

Spot on. Very diplomatic

@@Southernplate Jasher is amazing and speaks of much of Abrams early life. Jubilee is another one that is fascinating with alot of Leviticus style laws and early detailed reports of the garden. nothing is contradicting with our cannon

I don't think he was calling them false but telling what the modern day translation of the word means and he did say they are a good read but mot scripture. I think that is the biggest point is that they weren't included in the Bible for a reason because for 400 years God did not speak so while these books are a great read they shouldn't be preached from the pulpit.

His says thier useful but discredits them🤷 how can something help if u think it's a lie or fake🤔🗿

Here’s my question about the deuterocanonical Cannon… Matthew 5:17 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. Christ affirms the pentateuch - (Law) (genesis - Deuteronomy) … …and the Nevi'im - (Prophets)(remaining old testament without deuterocanonical Cannon cited by - Talmud/Mishnah text) If the deuterocanonical cannon is “inspired” as scripture in accordance to the council of Trent, which category do these seven books fall into in order for Jesus to fulfill them? As far as I can tell in research there’s no law or prophetic passages in them. The law is sealed after Moses and before the prophets plus there doesn’t seem to be mention of any existing profits during the timeframe of these books. The entire old testament minus the deuterocanonical books is classified as Law and prophets. Isn't that odd? The law and the prophets are encompassed in fulfillment but these outliers are their own thing? If it’s not fulfillment text but it’s still considered scripture then basically were saying it’s affirmed by the church but not Christ. What does that mean exactly?

That's right. Rat poison is 95% good food.

You should explore more views on this topic...

@@notremarchedelafin I actually did since then, or rather I now and then was confronted with the topic again. Adding to what I wrote in my original comment, I now know that: First, what made it and didn't make it into the Bible wasn't randomly decided at some council, but rather that there were strict criteria whether something counted as "Scripture" or not. F.e. It had to be from a very close witness to the Messiah, and it couldn't contradict something the Apostles already wrote. What we now know as th Apocrypha, failed those tests back then, so it was clear to the people, that they were not God inspired Scriptures. Second, some of th Apocrypha don't even claim themselves to be Scripture, but the Author of 2. Maccabees wrote something like: "At this point I'll stop my writings. If the story is well told, I reached my goal. If not, I tried my best." I hope this is helpful to someone wondering about this topic 👍

@@chessversarius2253 , personnally, I am convinced many apocryphal books are inspired. I don't have a clear opinion on all of them. As for what you say about 2 Maccabees, I'll check it out. Would you have the verse by any chance?

@@notremarchedelafin Hold on, I found the verses: 2 Maccabees - Chapter 15: "37 So ends the episode of Nicanor, and as, since then, the city has remained in the possession of the Hebrews, I shall bring my own work to an end here too. 38 If it is well composed and to the point, that is just what I wanted. If it is worthless and mediocre, that is all I could manage." I think it's a bit funny, but in a good way, how honest he is when he writes that last sentence ^^. Personally, I didn't read any of the Apocrypha, because I don't want to "lead myself into temptation" to perhaps believe it or to let it damage my (hopefully) biblical faith (and if I’m not supposed to listen to it anyway, I don’t want to invest time into it). So I don’t know much about the content, except for a few snippets I've heard. Therefore, I can totally see that they are inspired *in such a sense* , that they can contain truths, and good teachings, but I'm sure, they are not inspired in the same way, as the Bible is. You probably already know this, but the Bible says of itself: "All *scripture* is inspired by God and[a] profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness," -2. Timothy 3:16 The Bible is the only book/ the only *scripture* which we are supposed to use to judge other things with and to learn and to train us into becoming healthier, better, holier. I also heard, and the verses I found seem to agree, that the books of the Apocrypha never claim to be *scripture* themselves. Other books can definitely help to understand *scripture* the Bible, but the Bible must have the final say. Because if we say there are other books with the same authority, then where do we stop? If we can add the Apocrypha, we might as well add the book of Mormons. These are at least two reasons that came to my mind just now, why we shouldn't trust the Apocrypha, as much as we trust the Bible. I hope this is understandable, it’s all I could manage ;) May God help us both to find truth that makes us free! John 8:32 Have a good day :)

The apocrypha was not part of the Hebrew scriptures during the 3rd century BCE but was added.. But never part of the Hebrew scriptures. It was only part of the septuagint

The Apocrypha was not removed from the RV in 1885 as many believe. It just wasn't included yet. The apocrypha was included in the second edition of the RV in 1895. It was also included in the RSV of 1957 and is STILL present today in the KJVAA. The question is not when was it removed because it has not, rather why was it included in the first place?

He doesn't mention that some of these books were in the 1611 kjv and removed after that. That's around the same time the name Jesus for our messiah was introduced into the bible translated from the Greek Iésous pronounced yesus which some argue translates to hail Zues but i haven't done as much research on that last part as i intend to and can't say for sure if I think that's true or not yet. However the further you go back in historical translations the more truth you can find in the word. The current kjv cannon however is here in these times for a reason. And the more you read that yourself as apposed to listening to your religious leaders read a verse from one book then comparng it to another verse in another book to get their own points across the more you can see for yourself things that have been lost in translation.

You win the internet today.

@@nickreynolds8636 so because some ppl left it in scripture makes it scripture? Consensus isnt necessarily truth. Group think and tribalism isnt of God. Knowledge and intelligence is of God. A book is not inspired by God because man made it canonical. A book is canonical because God inspired it.

Jason Wiser Although we don’t know much about Enoch, he is mention as a Man who walked with God. That is all the Lord has given us with regards to his faith and righteousness. We don’t know much about Melchizedek the High Priest of Salem, but he is mentioned in the book Hebrews in comparison to Jesus being our high Priest. He would seem to have more importance as far has Biblical figures go. Gods word only shows us what he thinks we need to know. That’s the best explanation I can ascertain

If you guys really want to lean about the Bible go to Israel News Live. Enoch is very important . You find out what lead up to the flood . You find out what the earth really looks like. You find out what's to come in Revelation.As far as Melcezedec he was Jesus plain and simple.

The book of Enoch is NOT scripture or Apocryphal. It is in simplest terms, spiritual junk food. Only two groups have ever given it any notice. A small Jewish Ethiopian sect and the Mormons. Both of these groups deny that Jesus is the Messiah. Yes it is true Enoch is mentioned in the book of Jude. It is quoted as a warning to false teachers who infiltrated the early church and was understood very well by them. It was NOT mentioned as an endorsement of canon. Context matters.

Something interesting is that in the Qur'an, Muhammad said to use the scriptures the Jews and the gospel of the Christians as a basis to judge him. We have thousands of manuscripts from before Muhammad was born for both the Old and New Testaments that confirm what we have today is what he was referring to, and yet, that same Qur'an denies the deity, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ that the entirety of the New Testament is based on.

There are no popes in the Bible. Tradition developed that. There are no candles, there is no Lent, there is no holy water, there are no sacraments, there is no extreme unction and there is no veneration or worship of images, relics, beads, statues, etc. None of that is in the Scripture because it's all man-made traditions based on Pagan rituals and traditions.

What did Yeshua say when quoting Enoch? Where in the NT does Yeshua quote Enoch? I cannot find it. Jude MAY have referred to Enoch, but whether or not he was quoting the Book of Enoch or considered it scripture is highly debatable.

Jonathan Bouriaque “The Son Of Man” “Angels not marrying or being given in marriage...” He also refers to the New Temple where God’s Holy Spirit will dwell in the Hearts of Men, The Kingdom of Heaven being re-established here on the Earth that God’s Elect from throughout all the nations will be able to inherit and dwell in God’s presence Eternally... The Book Of Enoch solidly points to the coming of Messiah and his final and eternal Kingdom. It is “for the understanding of a future generation which is to come” I believe we are that generation. There are so many parallels and explanations of other stories throughout the cannon, and it is pretty clear to me that the people and writers of the scriptures accepted it as part of their story and teachings. I guess the real question for me is why was it removed and deemed to not be “inspired scripture” when Genesis clearly says that Enoch walked with God??? If he walked with God, and spoke to Enoch, and the Angels showed him all that stuff... Shouldn’t we be interested in what He has to say? Why would it be removed from the cannon? I believe I know the answer as to why...

J D It’s all about whether you believe or not... it’s easy to say that they wrote it to fit Hebrew Prophecy... There are too many correlations for me to believe that men were capable of completing such symmetry... The Scriptures are designed by the Hand of God. As well as the Book of Enoch.

And 2 Esdras 1:30

so how does this differ from, "as it is written."?

Its not like they just stood up one day, pointed at some books, and said "be gone!". Like the Reformation brought a lot of thinking and critical analysis. Even if they're wrong, it's best not to belittle the amount of effort placed in critiquing Catholicism and trying to really understand the core of what it meant to be Christian (and Jewish). Some early church leaders were heretics and taught things like Arianism. Not all their work correlates so even if the orthodoxy lineage is legitimate you can blame them for questioning the teachings of everyone in an honest search for truth

MyNameShrimp And how do you believe that Jerome’s knowledge and the early church fathers are greater than the Jews’ living before Jesus Christ?

Jerome was doubtfull about the inerrancy and canonicity of the Apocrypha. Dont u believe me? Chek it out on the internet.

Josué Inhan but do you agree with the rest of what Jerome wrote? Pointing out what he said that might agree with Protestantism and ignoring what he wrote supporting Catholic beliefs because they don’t fit the Protestant narrative is hypocritical. Read the rest of what he wrote and tell me again that he agreed with Protestantism... not! There are many early writers who disagreed with Jerome re the Deuterocanonical books... do you ever bother to read them?

Great comment MyNameShrimp. St Jerome was THE Catholic who translated the Bible. Protestants base their faith on the Bible. Whereas the Church bases the Bible on the faith. Martin Luther misinterpreted the Bible, and thus made a horrible mistake, that may have cost him his salvation. The funniest paradox is Protestants will defend him, while he would chastise them if he were here today. The Lutheran Church is but a shell of what it once was. Catholicism has not changed since Christ instituted it on Holy Thursday.

@@jonathanzogbi3028 it sounds like irony

For very good reasons......😉👌 The gospel of Thomas is a good antidote to the corruption that Christianity has done to Christ......

@@martinwagner7361 are you sure?

@@DefenderOfChrist_ Since I merged after an almost fatal Car accident (as an Atheist back then...) with the living Light of GOD - after my Consciousness snapped its ties with the lifeless body - yes... In fact I had a telepathic Communication with the Light because I was rather furious then since it were these foul Dogmas of Christianity that actually had turned me into an Atheist....inquiring about religion in general & Christianity especially....and in a nutshell the answer was that all major religions have a spiritually true kernel - and a lot of untrue manmade distortions that happened because man projected his fallen nature upon God.... like a "God" of "wrath"

It took me personally a real looong time still to forgive Christianity and all these phony televangelists their spiritual BETRAYALS....actually as well a betrayal of Christ HIMSELF.... I later studied all major Religions and so I came as well to the gospel of Thomas that is SOOO MUCH closer to spiritual TRUTH....and this fraudulent powerbrokers of Christianity then were forbidding the truth in that to promote their bogus Distortions.... EVERYTHING that Christ really taught is in utmost harmony what all major religions and their great Saints/Masters teach...but Christianity in the COMPETITION with Judaism actually FORGED the old Testament - every scholar knows THAT, then came this holy Trinity crap and the false teaching of salvation....that somehow Jesus had to die to appease the wrath of his father though he actually was it.... and this absolutely BLASPHEMOUS FRAUD they "teach" to this very day.... Sickening....totally psychotic nonsens that has harmed humanity TREMENDOUSLY.... No wonder "Christ"ianity hardly ever produced great spiritual Masters but an enormous crowd of abusive Bullshitters... Christianity LITERALLY usurped the "Authority" from God....never had it ever... But clever as they were they knew "Well, for as long as no one experiences real Communion with God it'll all pay out fine..." The worst Corruption happened at the Council of Niccae when the true heretics of the unholy Roman State Church "won" the power battle against the real Saints and Gnostic that KNEW the real truth & path.... Then Christianity fell deeply and has never really recovered from that takeover of the Antichrist - the human Ego..... With ENORMOUS negative Consequences....of course Jesus was NEVER God....the Quran has that completely right....and even in the Bible there are passages that survived the massive editing that took place which clearly indicate that... Christianity simply preys on the spiritual Illiteracy of the masses and teaches a very dangerous mix of the real spiritual truth of Christ distorted with an awful lot of spiritually FALSE, abusive, blasphemous, occult antichristian Teachings that make it almost impossible to really attain true Redemption and Salvation....because guess what - just beLIEving false Stories about Christ will NOT liberate you let alone heal or redeem you....the CORE problem of that is the human Ego - and Christianity with its religious Corruption by exactly that Ego is actually REINFORCING the Ego instead of LIBERATING people from that yoke..... That's NOT any MINOR issue, that's really grave deception.... Fortunately Christ himself dictated in A Course in Miracles 55y an authentic path where the fundamental upside down Distortions of Christianity are corrected that has guided millions by now towards a genuine spiritual Awareness that is in harmony with what all the great Saints of Humanity have taught and said.... And also is in harmony with what hundred thousands of NearDeathExperiencers have firsthand experienced on the "other side"... Finally I could perfectly reconcile Spiritual Truth with impeccable non contradictory Logic/Reason with Christ with literally everything - that simply is IMPOSSIBLE with Christianity as so many billion of people had to find out...there are so many warning signs in Christianity that it should trigger everyone's Attention & Suspicions.... One just has to think : Could it possibly be that the religious powerbrokers of Christianity have CORRUPTED the real TRUTH of Christ for the sake of power over people, to abuse & exploit & enslave people, for plain money, wealth, religious Competition & Dominance, for political & social Control & Influence ??? OF COURSE THEY DID EXACTLY THAT and I TAKE TOTAL RESPONSIBILITY for everything I said here before GOD & CHRIST.... Ask that any of these creepy Televangelists and they will start to sneak around that by literally all ways....because they know they can't do that with ease of mind.... I have roasted and grilled enough of these spiritual Scammers by now..... Because I come from direct own firsthand experience and deep KNOWLEDGE- not some flimsy beLIEf.... It's TOTALLY possible to KNOW God & Christ and to firsthand experience them... Belief should ONLY be the very first step, so that you basically START with your journey towards Knowledge & Conviction....yet for how many Christians is that a REALITY ? For at least 99% it ISN'T. Nobody has to give up CHRIST but I can only recommend to everyone to give up on all the falsehoods in Christianity because FALSE TEACHINGS & DOCTRINES will inevitably damage & slow down your progress and your spiritual learning..... And what I said here is just the very tip of the iceberg - there's sooo much more to this but I'm not in the mood of writing books now.... Understand that it is of EXTREME IMPORTANCE to have accurate Teachings, most truthful Scriptures and precise instructions for YOU will experience the damage, the delay, the awful feelings of being betrayed, fooled, abused & exploited... Therefore whoever is walking a spiritual path sincerely should ALWAYS pray to the REAL MOST HIGH GOD to guide you to the HIGHEST TRUTH, to make you aware of each & every religious/spiritual FALSEHOOD and to protect you constantly from Error, Deception, Superstition, Manipulation, Indoctrination....it's most crucial, especially in the beginning and intermediary levels where you just don't know enough.....🙏 And be clear that your Ego/Mind WILL deceive you so one MUST emancipate from that and ALWAYS ask every preacher, teacher etc. if s/he takes complete responsibility for all that s/he teaches/preaches/expresses before God & Christ.... Inquire if s/he ever had some own deepest Communion/Experience with God or just has read the Bible.... Actually - if one just checks what is really said in all of the major religions one can already arrive at great insights....but make sure you don't just read what some Christian fool without any real clue writes ABOUT other Religions as there are enough of such freaks around...😉 Study NearDeathExperiences....not just 10 or a 100, thousands and ten thousands... That all takes time but if one REALLY WANTS to KNOW there's no way around deep study and deep daily practice.... Pray, meditate, contemplate....that's too a MUST. Practice total forgiveness and total surrender - that's too an absolute MUST. Study great renowned Saints & Masters from various backgrounds and traditions... Compare, evaluate, discern.... That would be some of the real Basics of spiritual Life that will benefit everyone very deeply if really practiced.... Great success and good progress, hope that is helpful as an orientation for sincere spiritual Seekers in the becoming.....😇🤗🙏

Anita B. I saw the Apocrypha at Barnes and Nobles today lol you can buy it on amazon I’m sure. 🙂

It's in English!

@@erichudson8747 ...the original cannot be in English if written by the Jews as stated in the video....there is always a loss in translation moving from original text to english. Which council of men dictated what is scripture? I fund it all interesting... I will have to vist Barnes and noble soon. 😊

You can get a copy translated from the original Hebrew, that’s the one I’m looking into. Oxford University

@Russell Richards lol...which revision?

You have the knowledge comrade

Interesting enough, Hermaeus Mora looks very similar to ophanim or wheel heavenly beings.

There are also books in the Ethiopian Orthodox tradition that are exclusivly Ethiopian, plus they have the book of Enoch which is not found in the canon of other Christian denominations that use the Apocrypha.

interesting

Yeah the books of Jasher and Iddo are mentioned in the Bible, among others, but they’re not the Word of God. There’s a reason all spirit-filled Christians agree and all dead religious traditions end up on a different side. And I say that as someone who grew up Catholic and got saved 5 years ago.

75%? Really? I know of 2 (that are linked together) other examples would be appreciated. I found the 1 Esdras prophecy naming Jesus and the years till his appearance were interesting.

While I agree that the Deuterocanonical books are canon, I do not see how that claim is accurate. However, there are some parallels that are so startling that they may as well be quotes. Like when Pharisess are mocking Jesus on the cross for saying he is the Son of God. Goes with Wisdom 2.

@@jembenjamin yes, I agree. I'm sure much of it is historically accurate, but that doesn't mean it's the living Word of God, sharper than a two eged sword. There's a reason dead religions like Catholicism and orthodoxy accept these works as canon, they have no discernment or Holy Ghost.

Ask questions against scripture always For example… Here’s my question about the deuterocanonical Cannon… Matthew 5:17 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. Christ affirms the pentateuch - (Law) (genesis - Deuteronomy) … …and the Nevi'im - (Prophets)(remaining old testament without deuterocanonical Cannon cited by - Talmud/Mishnah text) If the deuterocanonical cannon is “inspired” as scripture in accordance to the council of Trent, which category do these seven books fall into in order for Jesus to fulfill them? As far as I can tell in research there’s no law or prophetic passages in them. The law is sealed after Moses and before the prophets plus there doesn’t seem to be mention of any existing profits during the timeframe of these books. The entire old testament minus the deuterocanonical books is classified as Law and prophets. Isn't that odd? The law and the prophets are encompassed in fulfillment but these outliers are their own thing? If it’s not fulfillment text but it’s still considered scripture then basically were saying it’s affirmed by the church but not Christ. What does that mean exactly?

Is there any complete bible? With all removed books

TAMIL TRUTHERS OFFICIAL yes in the old German Lutheran Bible..when coming to America the people decided to remove them..

It says in revelations not to remove anything from the Bible they will be held accountable

@@malika.k Yes ma'am, you are absolutely correct.

@@tamiltruthersofficial6931 It's said that the Ethiopian people poses the Bible in its entirety. However, to be completely honest, I do not know for sure

Good morning Phyllis. You said; "but then removed due to Puritan political in influence in England at the time." Actually, the Apocrypha remained in the KJV until 1884. And it was not taken out for ecclesiastical reasons. The Apocrypha was taken out for purely economic reasons. ___________________________ The KJV Bible was 17" x 12" and 5 1/2 inches thick. It was a 1600 page lectern Bible . The King James Bible was too large to be carried and too expensive for most people. By taken out the apocrypha, tables, etc, the King James bible is the size it is today, and affordable. _________________________ "Puritan political in influence in England at the time" King James quelled any Puritan Political influence. And what he did not squelch escaped to the New World or hid in Switzerland. The Geneva Bible of 1599 removed the Apocrypha it had in the 1552 Geneva.

bonkers 1 it don’t believe it to be blasphemy, it’s just a translation from the Hebrew, Adonai Elohim. Adonai is meant to say as a God fearing reverence. But whatever you say as long as you show God the respect and reverence He deserves as The One True God, He will always be listening to you. But it’s good to know you have a zeal to get to know God more, keep seeking Him my friend.

bonkers 1 I don’t get why people call The Lord Almighty other names if He Himself didn’t say to do so but “The Lord”..who the heck said to call him Rapha? Rafa? Adonai? Is it written in The Bible?? Isn’t the King James Bible the original?? Am I missing something here?

@Jaykob Seiler you mean Yiddish not Hebrew

Baal is not Yahweh Elohim my LORD GOD on High Baal was the god of the Canaanites they had terrible practices of burning and torturing children

using your criteria you would reject the 4 gospels as they weren't written by the named authors.

No. Septuagint came long after the ascension

I'd certainly be open to hearing where you get such clarity that Jesus and the Apostles *did* believe this to be a part of the canon, since it is such an unbelievable statement.

Funny you say that because in the book of estras it was a quote that the messiah quoted in the New Testament the reason why they say its not cannon because its alot of hidden things that evil people dont want us knowing

Israel’s Own where is Ecclesiasticus found ?

J 2K in the apocrypha, and don’t say that’s not part of the Bible

J 2K in the apocrypha, and don’t say that’s not part of the Bible

And I would call it taking out of context for proof texting.

I'm sensing it.

Unfortunately he is simply defending the protestant position. It should be remembered that the Roman Catholic and Eastern orthodox Christians separated 1054 AD. Orthodox Christians were using these writings as scriptures long before the protestant reformation began in 1519 or the council of trent which did not involve the Orthodox church. The apocrypha also appeared in the original edition of the protestant KJV of the bible in 1611. The Christian world does not revolve around Protestantism or the council of trent in the 16th century. Its clearly a political rather than spiritual decision....

@@christucker428 Jesus actually quoted from the apocrypha. Please read 2 Edras. Your completely wrong in your emotionally charged analysis

@@christucker428 one month later....did you read 2 Edras ?

But the orthodox church derives from the roman catholic church therefor its not canonical because every church that derives from the roman catholics is false
