Part of non Catholics understanding is that they only accept what they read in the Bible after 7 books were removed by Luther.

I don't see how you can keep making this claim when you SHOULD know by now it is flat out wrong! Aren't you embarrassed for trying that when it has been shown to be a lie for YEARS on these threads??? One more time see HERE. Besides the fact that Luther didn't "remove" but even included those seven Apocryphal books in his German translation of the Bible, just what ARE all those important Roman Catholic doctrines that you imagine we miss out on that you get from them? Can they be backed up by the mutually undisputed Divinely-inspired books of the Bible? If not, why not?

“after 7 books were removed by Luther.”
First off those 7 books wasn’t in the early church’s Bible. When you read early church writers those books are not mentioned, but the other books of our current Bible was. It’s obvious they were not included until later (centuries) later and still it was for historical purposes not canonical. It was the roman church that added them as canon way later, so to remove them was not illogical, but the only thing that really makes sense.

Be it as it may...

ADSUM,
Do those 7 books belong in the Old or New Covenant?
If they are Old Covenant theology how exactly does that pertain to a New Covenant Christian?
If they are New Covenant books please explain this...
How are they New Covenant when they are clearly before Jesus Christ was manifested in the flesh at Bethlehem?
What theological significance such as salvation, heaven, or hell do they bring to the New Covenant that wasn’t clearly explained in our current New Testament?

I have asked this question before and never get and answer, so either explain it or quit using it. With no explanation it appears that you rcc’s are simply mouth peices of propaganda with no real understanding of Rome’s beliefs.

Please help me to understand why you rcc’s hang on to those 7 books like they contain the ultimate secrets to eternal life or eternal hell.
