I'll bet none of y'all have heard of them. You can thank Luther for that.
Have read 1 Maccabees for the history. I recommend it for that.
Guess you have a problem with Jerome also.
Really, come back when you have something factual to report.
BTW....still waiting on the verses you claim have been changed by non-catholics.
If you meet Luther in the afterlife, I feel sorry for you.
From my research and from some research shows, they were fake so why should they have been included? In my research, I came across a very odd statement from a Catholic site. I did not bookmark it and can not find it again but it stated that Catholics beleve they wrote the NT. Just wow..
If you recommend it, why did Luther remove it?
The first Christians were Jews. The authors of the NT were Jews. Jesus was a Jew. Gods chosen people is Israel (Jews again). Gods focus on earth appears centered on Jerusalem. So who do you propose to lead us in Bible origins?
I don’t give a hoot about hocus anti-Catholic websites that you can’t even find.
I thought you just read your protestant bible?
You apparently are blinded by your catholic teachings. Go read about Jerome. The apocrypha was never considered as canon well before Luther.
Notice I said I recommend it for the history. Reading is fundamental.
Still waiting on those verses......remember the playground.
After the Ascension of Christ into heaven, the apostles would meet together in what we call “home churches.” They celebrated an Agape meal and then the Eucharist on Sunday in memory of Christ’s Resurrection.
Yes, they attended the synagogue on Saturday for awhile, but then they were expelled from the synagogue.
There have been posters on FR make the same claim. They say it's a Catholic Bible. Catholics wrote it. And the RCC has never erred and never will err. If I wasn't so lazy (Protestant trait), I'd go look it up and post it for you but I know you've been on these threads long enough to see the same stuff I see.
So I guess they just gave up on that Sabbath thing because it was too hard?? Wasn't that like one of the Ten Commandments? The one that says Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy? I guess Jesus was just fooling with them when He said "If ye love Me, keep my Commandments"? Funny how that eucharist thing every Sunday wasn't really specified in the Bible.
**Do you deny Jesus Christ is God?**
Jesus Christ defined himself as the ‘Son of God’. Peter and the rest of the apostles taught that as well.
Neither Jesus Christ, nor his apostles (including PETER) EVER called him ‘God the Son’.
If you will read Acts, you will find that they were expelled from the temple
It was a Catholic site. I read more than you will ever know. If I see something I find interesting I will type whatever it is and read. I have the Bible plus over 200 books on my iPad and have read everyone and some numerous times. I do not have to work so I read a lot. Three nieces and my daughter got together when one niece lived in DC. They were comparing childhoods and what their parents were like way back when they were young. The only thing they could find wrong with me as a teenager was that I always had a book in my hands. When I helped with the college students at church years ago, our youth minister asked me why I always had a book with me. I am so handful I love to read especially after my younger daughter died in 04 and my brother, husband and bil all died 2 years later and then my mom died in 1/2007. God is the answer!

If you will read Acts, you will find that they kept the true Sabbath perfectly, and continually.
“Coming together on the first day of the week” was the gathering at the close of the Sabbath, as the sun set on what you call saturday evening. It was an ancient tradition called Havdalah.
.
Nonsense??? If you can turn the mother of Jesus into a sinless women, we can turn Christ into 8 persons...
Spell check! Should be thankful instead of handful. Duh!
So if you aren't a Jew, do you plan to convert to Judaism?
ACTS, CHAPTER 2
46Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the temple area and to breaking bread in their homes. They ate their meals with exultation and sincerity of heart,
47praising God and enjoying favor with all the people. And every day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.
I wouldn't be surprised. You guys are good are turning all types of things into your own imaginations.
That's right...If it wasn't for that nasty Luther, your religion would still be collecting cash for indulgences...Many people in purgatory could have been out by now, for enough cash...
