“hint; for long ages they simply were not”

a) statement contrary to fact

b) protestant dissembling

c) the reason protestants are now reaping the whirlwind

d) all of the above

PS when you use words like: “hint”, “ages” and “simply” it is easy for folks to dismiss as rubbish.

no one needs your “hint”

NOTHING lasts for “ages”

and nothing is “simply” anything

You have an opinion. Big deal.

My statement (if you could have understood that in context, I'm not sure that you did) was factual enough.

Here, I'll offer it again, reworded;

For long ages the writings referred to as Deuterocanon were not fully accepted as being fully Scripture equivalent with the rest of the Old Testament.

In comment #39 this thread, I had posted excepts from this link http://www.christiantruth.com/articles/canon.html which holds a significant amount of commentary from early Church and Catholic Church noteworthies (ECF's, later Cardinals etc., even a "pope") who themselves did not look upon the books Jerome referred to as Apocrypha as being properly canonical, but instead were along lines of being "ecclesiastical writings", good for edification, yet not for basis of Christian doctrines -- thus -- Not canonical as was the rest of the Old Testament.

PS when you use words like: “hint”, “ages” and “simply” it is easy for folks to dismiss as rubbish.

Let me ask you this; when you encountered the word "hint" did you stop right about there, deciding to fire back comment asserting I was wrong? Why not investigate further? You have another chance to do so now.
