The Apocrypha books

Alex -
It is good to know your thoughts - as there is a bombardment of this stuff out there at the moment:

BUT from a historical perspective they could be pretty neat! I don't know... maybe one day in the future.. if I get to be so old and with ample time on my hands, I'll give them a shot.
Interesting subject though.

Thank You.

Dennis -
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience on these Apocrypha books:
--- Quote from: Dennis Vogel on September 09, 2016, 12:55:09 PM ---I have them somewhere but they have not seen the light of day in 20 years.
But I remember reading some of them and thinking this is not scripture.

I will steer clear of them.
Kind Regards.

Extol:
George,
To clarify, I was talking about the apocryphal books in the Catholic Bible, not any of the"lost" or ,"secret" books like Enoch or the Gospel of Judas.
Some of these include Tobit, Judith, and Maccabees (for history) , and Wisdom and Sirach (poetry/wisdom)

Thank you for this clarity - and I know there are many differing views on these so called 'lost books' or the 'books that were removed' from either the Catholic or Protestant Bibles:

I know that Enoch is one of the 'lost books' and not part of the Apocrypha books.
Thank you.
Kind Regards.

Dave in Tenn:
It's error to say these "secret books" Extol mentioned were "removed". They were never included.
