That is a very interesting connection for sure.

Its also curious though that the largest Bible- the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible has always had even more books in their Liturgy than any other Christian Church ... including one more Maccabees book than even the 2 Macs the Western Church has always had. Of which, the reformers decided to jettison from the Canon altogether.

Perhaps Luther, as a biblical scholar, saw merit in these books as it related to the Ethiopian Church back then as well... only to have them discarded many years later.

I'm critical of Luther, like E. Michael Jones. But my culture is Lutheran, especially Bach.

Toquinho – Chorando pra Pixinguinha

Carroll Quigley stated in the Evolution of Civilizations that material artifacts cross borders between civilizations more easily than cultural ones. (Some time between Russian Tsar Peter the Great’s “Great Embassy” to the West and the 1859 founding of the Russian Musical Society by the Grand Duchess Elena Pavlovna, Western art music artifacts crossed the border into the Orthodox Civilization of Russia.) In the case of the J.S. Bach inheritance from the Protestant-Capitalist civilization to the Catholic and African civilization of Brazil, a set of cultural artifacts was successfully transplanted into Brazilian music largely by the influence of Heitor Villa-Lobos. In the instance of Chorando pra Pixinguinha, there is a Luthern chorale-type core with a Bach-like obligato.

“Perhaps Luther, as a biblical scholar, saw merit in these books as it related to the Ethiopian Church back then as well... only to have them discarded many years later.”

Do those 7 books belong in the Old or New Covenant?

If they are Old Covenant theology how exactly does that pertain to a New Covenant Christian?

If they are New Covenant books please explain this...
How are they New Covenant when they are clearly before Jesus Christ was manifested in the flesh at Bethlehem?

What theological significance such as salvation, heaven, or hell do they bring to the New Covenant that wasn’t clearly explained in our current New Testament?

I have asked this question several times before and never get and answer, so are you just a mouth piece or can you answer it?

Please help me to understand why you rcc’s hang on to those 7 books like they contain the ultimate secrets to eternal life or eternal hell.
