There is no evidence that Jesus ever used these books, nor the disciples, nor that the Jewish leadership and congregation ever did. On the contrary, there is ample evidence that they didn't. So why does the RCC?
The answer becomes obvious when we learn the traditions of the Roman Catholic Church which stand or fall by these Apocrypha writings alone. Their inclusion has nothing to do with historicity or truth, nor with evidence derived from higher learning or the careful study of the pertinent facts. It has everything to do with the will of men in justifying their 'Church traditions.' If they were God inspired text, they would have been among the Hebrew texts used by God's Chosen People. To the Jews were committed the oracles [logion] or Word of God, and it was this inspired text which was preserved by them. So again, if these apocrypha books were God inspired text, they would have been in the Hebrew texts used by God's Chosen People. The very fact that history reveals that they were not, and are not to this very day, bears stark testimony that they were not inspired writings for Israel or the Disciples. |
