The Truth About The Scriptures

A Study On The Apocrypha & Lost Books

by Matthew Coover

IF YOU HAVENT READ CHAPTER 4, GO THERE FIRST!

CHAPTER FIVE:  A Fellow Believer's Concerns

 I did a little searching about them. If you have a Halley's Bible handbook, you may wish to read the section on "How We Got The Bible"... it gives the titles of a bunch of books - most all considered frauds. The N.T. was put together by the early church because of so many fraudulent books and letter about at the time... after much debate they settled on the current 27 books.

 Maccabees covers the inter-testament period about 165 BC and I do not look for any spiritual intentions in accepted historical accounts - but I would in Kings and Chronicles in the AV.

 All through history people have discovered the lost books thinking that they should be included. The problem is that we are now 2000 years away from the fact! What could we possibly know that the first century church did not know?

 It's your business what you may study, but as friend, I want you to be careful.
