Where ever those other sources are in agreement with scripture, that's fine. What we're talking about is something that is outside of scripture. If you are then treating those other sources as authoritative on the same level as scripture, then you are adding to scripture. That's forbidden (Revelation).
Good night, sir or ma'am.
I have been avoiding the posts about Mary i.e. Catholicism. I can't even remember
who is in this discussion, so please forgive me for posting only to you (and All).
There are the missing books of the Bible that I noticed where never mentioned in this thread.
I'm NOT attempting to start or prolong this particular discussion, but only wish to remind Catholic AND Protestant alike of the Apocrypha - those books deleted by King James as he (and his scholars) deemed unnecessary.
For you who are interested, Comparative Religion has some information all may find informative.
