“...Luther for not accepting some books that were never recognized as infallible Scripture in the first place...”
The books that Martin Luther purposely omitted because they did not support his erroneous theology were found among the Dead Sea scrolls - proving they WERE recognized as infallible scripture by the Jews.
Believing the myth of the supposed infallibilty of these books is where protestants headed down the wrong path, with Luther leading the way. Beware of false prophets etc...
Just HOW did he 'purposely omit' them?
So Christians must recognize as canonical books that were in possession of the Jewish Essenes? Think about that for a bit and let the absurdity sink in.
I have a thousands of books in my home. I would hate to see what kind of “bible” a person would put together if he were basing it on the religious materials in my library. If someone discovers a cache of my books in the year 4,000 A.D. are they to think that I believed the Book of Mormon simply because I owned a copy?
Luther did not see the apochrypha as scripture just like, Jerome, Gregory the Great, Cardinal Cajetan (Luther’s Catholic Opponent), Cardinal Ximenes and a myriad of other notable Catholic Scholars.
“The books that Martin Luther purposely omitted because they did not support his erroneous theology were found among the Dead Sea scrolls - proving they WERE recognized as infallible scripture by the Jews.”
Clearly! They were carefully placed inside clay pots marked, “Infallible Scripture Repository”.
Just kidding with you. This is a lame argument in your post. From Wiki:
“Due to the poor condition of some of the Scrolls, not all of them have been identified. Those that have been identified can be divided into three general groups: (1) some 40% of them are copies of texts from the Hebrew Bible, (2) approximately another 30% of them are texts from the Second Temple Period and which ultimately were not canonized in the Hebrew Bible, like the Book of Enoch, Jubilees, the Book of Tobit, the Wisdom of Sirach, Psalms 152–155, etc., and (3) the remaining roughly 30% of them are sectarian manuscripts of previously unknown documents that shed light on the rules and beliefs of a particular group or groups within greater Judaism, like the Community Rule, the War Scroll, the Pesher on Habakkuk and the The Rule of the Blessing.[7]”
Not everything there was recognized as “infallible scripture by the Jews” - then or now.
