He wasn't the first. Jerome (and certain others), favored the Masoretic canon for the Old Testament, excluding apocryphal books in his non-binding canon as being worthy to properly be called Scripture, but included most of them in a separate section, as per Jerome.
The first text to omit them was in 1627 and it was an unexplained publisher decision. The KJV began omitting them in the late 1800’s.
You can't blame Luther for that, can you? He died in 1546.
They can't hear it. Too painful. Truth, I mean. Ruins everything about certain and particular well circulated oft republished Romish fantasies, and their objects of "faith in their faith".
The distracting ones made of hatin's on Luther though...how do they manage that? Oh, I know! Call everyone that doesn't hate on Luther a something-or-another. Yeah, that's the ticket. Keep the troops in line.
Eurasia has always been at war with Oceania (in this instance there's some truth to the rumor, lol, though I pulled the 'ol switcheroo on the fake nations names).
Don't look at the man behind the curtain! There, behind you (and off to the side a little) there is your enemy! Fight fight fight. 'Cuz Jesus said. fight. them. to their deaths. God want's 'em dead just as much as we do, troops, so fire at will!
Make double sure none of them have any faith in God (if you can rip it from their breasts! rip rip rip it hard all of it out make sure they are miserable [as we are inside]) because their faith in God ain't how we'uns do it. And we'uns are the onlyiest ones doing "it" right. so fight. hurt 'em bad. getting mean is ok. God likes it when you get mean for Him. And let's face it, men. getting mean comes right natural to us. Stomp on their faith in Jesus (and them too with a snear) 'cuz we don't get to tell 'em how it's done. right. and that's wrong.
Does that about cover some of the noise we keep hearing from some of this crew? This thread sure brought them out, didn't it?
