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.”

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.

The Canon of Scripture contain the Old and the New Testament
books. Luther did too remove 7 books from the Canon. I stated, the 7 came from the Old Testament. You misunderstood. This is fact, there were two Old Testament Canons. Luther was not guided by God, He threw out the wrong one.
