Book of Daniel)*Some parts of Esther.*Psalms 1. Why did they edit the Holy Bible? Why did the Protestants decide to remove the 6 books from OT in 1. Reformation in Europe? Reasons: 1)The books that were removed supported such things as. They stayed for hundreds of years bringing hellenistic influence to West Asia. Greek became the official language and the language of the rulers. So Jewish scholars, philosophers etc switched to Greek from Hebrew, just like we deal more in English than in Malayalam these days. So the Scripture that was written down in the last 4. Before Christ were all in Greek. The Greek Old Testament (Septuagint) is the worlds oldest surviving version of the OT. At this time, there was no official Jewish canon of scripture. The Jews in Egypt translated their choices of the Hebrew Scriptures into Greek in the second century before Christ. This translation of 4. Septuagint, had wide use in the Roman world because most Jews lived far from Palestine in Greek cities. Many of these Jews spoke only Greek. The early Christian Church was born into this world. The Church, with its bilingual Jews and more and more Greek- speaking Gentiles, used the books of the Septuagint as its Bible. Remember the early Christians were just writing the documents what would become the New Testament. After the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, with increasing persecution from the Romans and competition from the fledgling Christian Church, the Jewish leaders came together and declared its official canon of Scripture, eliminating seven books from the Septuagint. The books removed were Tobit, Judith, Maccabees, Wisdom (of Solomon), Sirach, and Baruch. Parts of existing books were also removed including Psalm 1. Psalms), parts of the Book of Esther, Susanna (from Daniel as chapter 1. Bel and the Dragon (from Daniel as chapter 1. The curse of Revelations. The Jews removed 7 books that meant ERASING 4. It also helped them to deny their Messiah- Jesus Christ. The protestants removed these 7 books because they supported christian practises such as Intercession, Saints etc.“I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book. Reji Mathew, principal STOTs seminary, Nagpur: “If our Bible should contain the unbroken Word of God from the Beginning of the World (Genesis) towards the End of the World (Book of Revelation) how can then there be a silence for 4. Nevertheless, if we take the Deutero- canonical Books as the Word of God then there is no break at all. They tell us how God interacted with His people during the Inter testamental period of 4. Thus the Deutercanonical Books makes a good bridge between the Old and the New Testament period. We also understand the Judaism of the time of Jesus in a better way if we read those books.”Martin Luther’s aversion to Scripture. Martin Luther had developed his theory that only those books that taught his Dogma of Justification by Faith Alone should be accepted as part of the canon. However, he didn’t work out this theory until after he had lost a debate with a Catholic (either Cardinal Cajetan in 1. Johann Eck of Ingolstadt in 1. AD), when 2 Maccabees 1. Martin Luther’s “Faith Alone.”The book of James contradicts Luther’s principle of Justification by Faith Alone. James 2: 2. 4 says “See how a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.” Rather than change his theology, Luther just denied that, James the Apostle, was the author of James and removed it from his canon. Writing of Apostle James, he says, “He does violence to scripture and so contradicts Paul and all of scripture. He tries to accomplish by emphasizing law what the Apostles bring about by attracting men to love. I therefore refuse him a place among the writers of the true canon of my Bible.”Luther challenged an Apostle in such a crude way and said such insulting things about James’s ability to write (which was guided by the Holy Spirit.)In Luther’s commentary on Book of Revelations he wrote,“Everyone may make up his own mind as regards this book. As for me, I have a personal aversion to it and that is enough.”7. The Book of Maccabees are sometimes split up into 4, since its pretty large. In some Bible’s there is 1 Maccabees and 2 Maccabees. In other it can go upto 4 Maccabees. If we take Maccabees as 1 book, there will be only 7. If we take them as 4, then there will be 7. This is a source for confusion for many, as different websites show different numbers. The reason is only this. Scripture used by the Apostles. The Apostles quoted from the Septuagint many times.
