    What is the main reason why the Apocrypha doesn’t belong in the Bible?

    There are no examples that I can think of where anyone in the Old Testament sacrificed an animal to atone for the sins of someone who had already died, except for 2 Maccabees 12. But... in the New Testament I can think of an example. Jesus’ sacrifice paid for everyone, past, present, and...

    What is the main reason why the Apocrypha doesn’t belong in the Bible?

    You still didn’t answer the question. Why did Jesus preach the gospel to people who he had no intention of saving? The word “gospel” means “Good News.” What was the good news that Jesus had for those spirits in prison who died in the days of Noah? Did he go down into the lower parts of the...

    What is the main reason why the Apocrypha doesn’t belong in the Bible?

    So why did Jesus preach the gospel to the spirits in prison in the lower parts of the Earth, who died in the days of Noah? Jesus just preaches the gospel to people with no intention of saving them?

    Does Judith really have a historical mistake?

    The Bible says that Nebuchadnezzar was king of Babylon, ruling from the city of Babylon, but Judith says he was king of Assyria, ruling from the city of Ninevah. Does this prove Judith is fiction? Or is there something else we’re not thinking of?

    What is the main reason why the Apocrypha doesn’t belong in the Bible?

    2 Maccabees 12 says that they sent money to Jerusalem TO PROVIDE for a sin offering. Notice the words “to provide.” Seems like you missed that part. Any Jew who sees the phrase “sin offering” is going to know that it’s talking about the sin offering that is talked about in Leviticus. Leviticus...

    What is the main reason why the Apocrypha doesn’t belong in the Bible?

    The Catholics, Greek Orthodox, and Ethiopian Orthodox churches - all three of these accept the books of 1 and 2 Maccabees, Judith, Tobit, Wisdom, Sirach, and Baruch, plus the extra chapters in Daniel and Esther.

    Do ancient civilizations pre-date Noah’s flood?

    Does Daniel 11 prophesy about events fulfilled in Maccabees?

    Why would you discourage someone from reading the history of the Maccabees? You can’t understand the prophecies of Daniel 8 and 11 without it. You also can’t understand what Paul was talking about in Hebrews 11:35 without it. So why would you discourage people from being able to understand the...

    Does Daniel 11 prophesy about events fulfilled in Maccabees?

    I guess some people today don’t want us to understand the prophecies of Daniel 11. But Martin Luther did. Now, who do you think doesn’t want us to understand Biblical prophecy? God, or the Devil? So, are the people telling us not to read these books being inspired by God, or by Satan?

    Does Daniel 11 prophesy about events fulfilled in Maccabees?

    I said discouraged, not prevented. There’s a general discouragement from most Christians in church that those books are historically inaccurate, contain heresies, were added to the Bible by Catholics, and don’t belong. This general attitude discourages most kids in church from reading them.
