No, they have not been removed.
It is sad that Martin Luther’s insecurities led him to move the books of the Bible that made him uncomfortable in his insecurities.
He tucked them between the OT and NT and then in the 1800’s Protestants omitted them.
THAT is why you don’t know that praying for the dead is very Biblical.
Who benefits from not praying for them?
Satan.
For each soul there is the Particular Judgement at the time of death.
Then at the end, there will be the Final Judgement.
If there were no benefit in prayer for the dead, there would not be these two different judgements.
I’ve read a great deal about the apparition at Fatima. You’d be surprised probably.
Praying for your conversion. Please watch the video.
Thanks, but I do not read Luther's Bible.
Oh, so you read the Scripture preserved by the one true church for 2,000 years?
Conversion to what...Roman Catholicism from Christianity??
I don't think so.
I follow Jesus Christ. He's my Savior. He died for my sins (John 5:24).
I can only come to Heaven through Him and only Him (John 14:6)
As a believer in Him my sins are forgiven (Col 2:13-14).
Because of Him, I've been sealed by the Holy Spirit for the day of redemption (Eph 1:13-14).
I can go straight to Him at anytime and He will hear and answer my prayers in accordance with His will (1 John 5:14-15).
He and He only is my Mediator (1 Tim 2:5-6)
I serve only Him (Matt 22:37).
Why in the world would I want to give all of that up?
Catholics are so cute when they try apologetics. Sad, but cute.
Category mistake. I would assume your training might hone that a bit.
I read the Scripture that God has been creating and preserving for more than 4,000 years. 2/3 of which was written and preserved before Christ walked this earth.
You see the lies so clearly, it is amazing how blind the Catholics are to those lies. Such as, “Blessed Virgin Mary told the three child seers that many souls go to hell because they have no one to pray or make sacrifices for them.” The blinded Catholic mind does not see the heretical nature of such a supposed message, from the supposed Virgin Mary. It completely escapes their attention that JESUS told us to pray to HIM, and that the BIBLE tells us there is only ONE mediator between man and God, THE MAN CHRIST JESUS. IF one of these blind Catholics ever meets a soldier who cried out to Jesus in a moment of terror and was delivered from same, would that Catholic even get it then? ... Doubtful, since the satanic hold on their minds is so strong with the Mariology mythos.
Now that’s just sad.
Jesus’s Passion is the turning point of history, but the Word stood since the beginning. But the usual crew just can’t get over their sect-worship. As if God didn’t exist before there was a Pope.
Why do you insist someone feed on more lies when the start of the source is hallmarked by lies? Do Catholics actually believe Redeemed humans under the blood of Jesus Christ cannot discern the deceptions in your religion? The lostness is indeed profound!
And that one claims to be an ordained priest in that religion.
What, you mean the insecurity of being told you have to pay for salvation, when at the same time he read in the ‘church approved’ Bible that Jesus gives salvation and eternal life for free?
Mon dieu, what WAS the man thinking.
So, you read the one that contain Maccabees, preserved in both the Septuagint and the Hebrew Scripture, as validated in the Dead Sea Scrolls?
“being told you have to pay for salvation”
Lies
The abuses were all resolved at the Council of Trent.
Abuses can be a justification for reformation of the practice only of religion, NOT for revamping the principles which have been abused.
The following is a summarization of a 1935 review entitled “The Psychoanalysis of Luther: Escape from Pessimism”, by Francis J McGarrigle. S.J.

Wait, just a second.
You just told me that the abuses were lies.
And then you told me the abuses were corrected.
That’s the kind of doublethink that I’d expect from the audience of Colbert.
