If you reject Christian history how will you ever find the Truth? Any comments on...
“Sadly....
Martin Luther came along in 1517 and threw out 7 books of
the Canon. He was NEVER guided by God. Luther tossed out
the Old Testament Canon which Our Lord and the Apostles
quoted from the most. There were two OT Canons, Jesus
referred to the Alexandrian Canon also known as the Septuagint.”
Truth is found in the word of God, not history.
John 17:17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.
1 Corinthians 2:13 And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.
2 Corinthians 4:2 But we have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways. We refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God's word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to everyone's conscience in the sight of God.
Ephesians 1:13-14 13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
2 Timothy 2:15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.
2 Timothy 3:14-17 14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it 15 and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
I know you are new here, but this blatant falsehood has been disproved countless times. Perhaps you need to do a bit more "objective" studying before you try to teach everyone. I'm not Lutheran, but Luther did NOT toss out 7 books in the New Testament. He translated the Greek NT into the German common tongue and some books that he questioned, he still included in his translation. He did NOT remove them. Perhaps you are listening to the wrong "prophets".
On the subject of the Apocryphal books, we could spend a whole new thread going over why those books did not EVER belong among the divinely-inspired books of the Old Testament, not the least of which is that were not accepted by the Jewish fathers, who Jesus said were given the "Oracles of God". They refused them for the simple reason that they were NEVER consider as Holy Scripture. They contain many errors, they speak of legend or imaginary happenings and they do not have the "ring" of truth to anyone sensitive to the Holy Spirit as the accepted books are. Tomorrow, I'll post some links to help you get a better knowledge about the Bible and how we can know what is and isn't from God.
