re: For one thing, he tossed seven books out “his” bible.

You are referring to the Apocrypha: Tobit, Judith, 1st & 2nd Maccabees, Wisdom, Sirach & Baruch.

Can you tell me what vital teachings or doctrine from God that those of us without these books in our Bibles are missing? It has been my observation that vital teachings from the Lord do not just show up once in the entire expanse of the Bible.

Now you WILL be distracted!

Did the JEWS consider any of those books to be 'scripture'?
