Could Someone Tell Me The Details Of When/where The Apocraphal Books Were Removed?

[JimG]

D Quintero:

The Apostles and Christians in general, used the Greek ‘Septuagint’, also called LXX, as their Bible in the first century.

And, the Septuagint, which includes the deuterocanonical books, and was used by Christians in the first century and afterwards, originated with Jews before the time of Christ! It was a translation of the Old Testament scriptures into Greek for use by Greek-speaking Jews, which was most of them at that time.

The title come from the story that the translation was done by a group of 70 Jewish scholars, but that may or may not be true.

And what might that Bible be called? Where can you buy one?

Hi Sparkle, it is still called the King James Bible.

Here is a link, if you’ll read through the marketing material you’ll see that it talks about the “Apocrypha”.

The correct term for the so-called apochrapha is “deuterocanonical.” The real apochrapha were those books, like The Gospel of Thomas, that never made it into the official canon of scripture, which was not defined and officially accepted by Catholic Church authorities until the end of the 4th century. The Old Testament deuterocanonical books removed by the putative reformers are as follows: 1st and 2nd Maccabbees, Judith, Tobit, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, and parts of Daniel and Esther. All of these deleted books were included in the Greek Septuagint translation of the Hebrew scriptures prepared by Jewish scholars at Alexandria, Egypt, in the third century B.C…

Thanks Montanaman!. Hey how’s your girlfriend? I recall you had found the “love of your life”.

God Bless~

Thanks for asking. She’s fine. She’s being irresistably pulled into the clutches of Catholicism, apparently. I had planned for a routine Confession tomorrow. She wants to go (with the understanding that she can’t actually receive a Sacramental Confession. In fact, she probably won’t try to go in. When she was covering a story once, she had to wait outside a Confessional for a priest and she said it was the most unexpected and oddly powerful spiritual experience she’d ever had.)

Anyway, things are good.

Thanks so very much! THIS IS AWESOME!!! Where do you think the deuterocanonical books are in it, in the OT or in the Appendix?
