So you agree with this article that Luther was the first to come up with the idea that some supposedly biblical writings were uninspired, and should become part of the “Apocrypha”? You agree with this article that the “Apocrypha” was Luther’s idea, and that nobody had previously rejected these books?

Or do you disagree with this article?

You would be well advised to carefully scrutinize this article and discern its message. Luther was misguided as the article states, and thus the value of his contribution in salvation history is severely mitigated.

The formulation of the canon was an arduous task , one that took many centuries, much debate and finally inspired selection by the Church in its Councils. This selection of specific works was accomplished without the input of the “Reformers” who would a thousand years later attempt to prostitute the Word of God. It appears the Justice of God will be severe on those reformers who attempted and who are still attempting to interject their own prideful exegesis into the interpretation of sacred scripture. God bless
