Just last week, a Catholic guy was accusing Luther of taking whole books out of the Bible. Now he’s adding…

Well I hope you told "Catholic Guy" that officially
it wasn't until 1828 in England they were officially
REmoved or taken out completely of their Bible.

Though much of the internet says "he took them out"
- and maybe did not translate-
many defenders will highlight the fact that Luther
merely "moved" them to the back of the Bible-
As he did not feel the Deuterocanon was inspired by God.
(He, like you, probably believed that the Author of Wisdom
just made up a lucky guess in prophesing the coming of the Son of God...
and his tortured crucifixion.)

Whatever... we're still trying to figure out what authority
Luther had, or who gave him the authority
to move books around like he did.
Small detail, he was a smart guy.

But we should let the "Catholic guy" also know,
while Luther didn't technically "remove" books from the Bible...
in HIS translation of Romans 3-
he, in fact - and with controversy then - ADDED the word "ALONE" in 3:28-
where no translation ever had before.
That was the "ADD" of scripture that you may not have understood
I was explaining to you.

Again, still trying to figure out by what authority
Luther thought he alone, can change the ancient text like that?
God?
Bueller?
