I know that 7 books (and parts of others) were removed/downplayed by some of the “reformers”, but I am not sure why.
I have read that they go against what people like Luther wanted to believe/teach. And I know that they werent fully thrown out until the mid 1800’s, but why were they even downgraded? Could someone give me some specific passages or something where they contradict Protestant teaching?
Here are the full books (there are parts of others too),
-Tobias
-Judith
-Wisdom
-Ecclesiasticus
-Baruch
-1&2Machabees
The only one I know for sure is 2Mac12:46 talking about praying for the dead, other than that Im not sure of the specifics on why the rest were removed.
When I look through the books (especially Wisdom and Ecclesiasticus), I see a big loss in removing them.
