Description: The Apocrypha: 14 Secret Hidden Books is a Hard Cover Book featuring a collection of ancient writings that reveal hidden secrets and mysteries of the past. This offers many insights into the history, culture, and beliefs of the people who lived in the time between the Old and New Testaments. Some of these writings are stories of heroes, prophets, and martyrs who faced great challenges and performed miraculous deeds. Others are visions, prophecies, and wisdom teachings that explore the mysteries of God, creation, and human destiny.The term "apocrypha" is often used to describe certain texts that now are not included in the Old Testament by Protestant denominations. These texts are, however, part of the Old Testament in some other Christian traditions, such as Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy.The Greek word for “Apocrypha” is ἀπόκρυφα (apókrypha), which means “hidden” or “obscure.” The term was first used in reference to these texts by St. Jerome, the translator of the Latin Vulgate Bible, in the 4th century.In years gone by the Apocrypha was once highly regarded, then tolerated for a time, and eventually omitted. These books, also known as the Deuterocanon, hidden books, and secret writings are a collection of 14 ancient books that were included in the original 1611 King James Bible placed between the Old and New Testament. The Apocrypha was a part of the KJV for 274 years until being removed in 1885 A.D.Here are some reasons why the Apocrypha is not found in Protestant Bibles today:• None of the apocryphal books are written in Hebrew (the Old Testament was written in Hebrew).• All Apocryphal books are in Greek, except one which is extant only in Latin.• Not a single one of the apocryphal authors laid claim to inspiration.• The apocryphal books were never acknowledged as sacred scriptures by the Jews, custodians of the Hebrew scriptures (the apocrypha was written prior to the New Testament). In fact, the Jewish people rejected and destroyed the apocrypha after the overthrow of Jerusalem in 70 A.D.• The apocryphal books were not permitted among the sacred books during the first four centuries of the real Christian church.• The Apocrypha contains some outlandish statements which not only contradict the "canonical" scriptures but themselves. For example, in the two Books of Maccabees, Antiochus Epiphanes is made to die three different deaths in three different places.• The Apocrypha includes doctrines that are in variance with the Bible, such as prayers for the dead and sinless perfection.Martin Luther rejected the apocrypha as scripture because he did not consider them to be part of the Hebrew Old Testament, nor accepted by the early church. He also found them to contain doctrinal errors and contradictions. He rearranged them in his German translation to separate them from the canonical books. He based his decision on studying the translation notes of Jerome and the original Hebrew texts.Luther was quoted as saying "The Apocrypha - that is, books which are not regarded as equal to the holy Scriptures, and yet are profitable and good to read."There is a treasure trove of spiritual knowledge found in this book "The Apocrypha: 14 Secret Hidden Books" and it can enrich your understanding of the Bible and inspire your faith. It's waiting for you to uncover these hidden gems. Are you ready to embark on this exciting adventure?
