Catholic myth ..Luther NEVER removed a book from the NT.. HOWEVER Rome added books to the OT that were never a part of the jewish Canon ...Protestants have the same canon as the Hebrew Bible.. The OT belongs to the jews and was placed in their care not Rome..Rome had no divine authority to add to the OT..those scriptures were given to the Jews by God.. they are divine revelation TO THEM and written by OT prophets.. IN HEBREW the language of the OT
And just what authority do you cite, when you state that these works “were never part of the Jewish Canon”?
Tobit, Baruch, Judith , Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus (Sirach), 1 Maccabees, 2 Maccabees, together with 7 chapters of the Book of Esther and 66 verses of the 3rd chapter of Daniel and the 13th & 14th chapters of Daniel, were deliberately cut out of the Bible.
There is no basis for the claim they were not part of Jewish Canon.
Luther made no such reference when he discarded these works. In fact he cited personal taste as he pronounced “throw it overboard”, in reference to 2 Maccabees, daring to proclaim “it is holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead that they may be loosed from their sins.”
ALL of the works listed above formed a part of the Hebrew Bible over 100 years before Christ!
Septuagint. The word for the day.
