In the emergence of the faith, people find themselves in the company of others with whom they find great discomfort. The Greeks loved the scriptures, but found great discomfort in their associations with those Jews who were keeping the Sabbath. Far better to dissociate with them and put a distance between the Greek and Jew by moving the very heart of the faith from the seventh day to the first day. Such a move would prevent “Judaizing.”

A similar disposition emerged when Martin Luther began to move away from Roman Catholicism. In addition to his militant antisemitism, Luther took an opposition to the doctrines which the Catholic Church had harvested from the books they called the Deuterocanon.

The founding of western civilization in North America began with those influenced by the doctrines of these rogue Scotsmen and their redacted protocol and trinitarian view of scripture.

As time went on, knowledge concerning scripture decreased – not increased – and the modern American knows little of the Deuterocanon, the books Martin Luther labeled the Apocrypha.

Those without knowledge claim that these books are “merely historical” and are “heretical” and not for general reading. But given the political nature of their conclusion concerning this Apocrypha, the student now must ask themselves anew: To read or not to read – that is the question!
