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?


I do not agree with what Luther did. Neither do I agree with those who removed the Deuterocanonical books.

My understanding is that Luther placed these seven books between the Old Testament and New Testament with the description: “Apocrypha: These Books Are Not Held Equal to the Scriptures, but Are Useful and Good to Read.”

This is not giving these books the respect they deserve, but to say he called them uninspired trash and removed them from his version of the Bible is not quite accurate.

Obviously you haven’t read what Luther himself wrote as opposed to what his fan club has made easily available and altered to suit their agenda.
