Gee if I google errors in apocrypha I have to go 7 pages into the results to find a Catholic site speaking of such errors.
That means there were 6 pages of protestant claims that they are not Scriptural.
Now, somewhere out there may be Catholics who agree with the protestant position, but that is not the official teaching and canon of Scripture from the Church.
Next, I googles errors in the Bible and LOW AND BEHOLD, if found pages and pages of lists of errors and contradictions throughout the Bible.
Yep, atheists love to point them all out. And, what is their conclusion? That the argument that the Bible is the inerrant and inspired word of God is circular, i. e. that the Bible is God’s word and God is not the author of error, therefore the Bible has no errors.
Sound familiar?
Then I googled errors in the New Testament and what did I find? If you guessed that there were also numerous sites expounding on all the geographical and historical errors and contradiction in the New Testament, you win a cookie!
So, yes, CB, it is your opinion that the books removed by modern day protestants do not belong in Scripture.
How about answering the questions I put to you?
Did Jesus contradict the OT when He stopped the men from stoning the adulteress?
Did Jesus contradict the OT when He said that the Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath?
So then you must agree that indeed the CC does concede that there are errors but that they try to minimize them so as to still use the parts that support their dogma which is not contained in the rest of scripture. One example would be praying to the dead. Only in the error riddled books of the apocrypha do you find that.
If we should take the apocrypha as scripture could you please answer the following questions?
According to the two Books of Maccabees, which one of the three places did Antiochus Epiphanes actually die in? Did he actually die three different times in three different places?
Do you believe the following from Ecclesiasticus (Sirach)?
Ecclesiasticus 25:19 Any iniquity is insignificant compared to a wife's iniquity.
Ecclesiasticus 22:3 It is a disgrace to be the father of an undisciplined, and the birth of a daughter is a loss.
Do you believe your birth was a loss to your parents or do you believe what it says in Psalms?
Psalm 127:3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. 4As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. 5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
Do you believe there is no hope for children born out of wedlock?
Wisdom 3:16-19 But children of adulterers will not come to maturity, and the offspring of an unlawful union will perish. Even if they live long they will be held of no account, and finally their old age will be without honor. If they die young, they will have no hope and no consolation on the day of judgment. For the end of an unrighteous generation is grievous.
Or do you believe the following?
Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Wisdom 6:17 says, "The beginning of wisdom is the most sincere desire for instruction." but in Proverbs 9 it says this.
Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
Which is it?
Wisdom 6:24 says, "The multitude of the wise is the salvation of the world," but in Timothy 4:10 it says “For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
