#1...he was not the first or only person to do that.
#2...he didn’t THROW them in the garbage, did he?
Would you agree that those who claim he did are lying and trying to deceive?
To say he threw them in the garbage is probably overstating it. Who was the first to sort them out and when was it done?
Oh, so calling them unspired trash and removing them from his version of the Bible isn't the same as throwing them in the garbage?
Of course, they're still not in the Protestant Bible and Protestants swear they're not inspired in spite of their having been accepted right along with the rest of the Old Testament for nearly eighteen hundred years which means whatever you choose to call his throwing them out it's functionally identical to throwing them in the garbage.
Maybe folks should read what Luther had to say about the books Moses wrote and the books he managed to remove before they claim Luther didn't throw them in the garbage.
True, it's far easier to avoid the issue with little word games and it is only your eternal soul at risk for blaspheming the Holy Spirit, so what's the big deal?
