The Apocrypha and Why it's Not Scripture

here is another interesting approach...a link to an anti catholic page, that uses protestant ‘scholarship’ as some sort of proof.

and yet, AGAIN, the historicity of the early church clearly shows the usage of the catholic version of the bible.

when push comes to shove, i will take those who literally walked and talked with apostles, and other church fathers, and their take on scripture, under the auspices of the one holy catholic and apostolic church, during the birth of the church, as opposed to protestant ‘scholarship’ that DISAGREES WITH THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TO BEGIN WITH, and builds its case from there.

Thanks for that link.
This is one item that confused the heck out of me:

“Judas Maccabees prayed for the dead and made atonement FOR THEM by sending money to the temple as a sin offering...”

So Jesus’ death and resurrection was not enough? There needs to be additional money payments made?

I don’t think I have enough money to atone for MY sins (for they are many).
