Reasons why the Apocrypha does NOT belong in the Bible! Roman Catholic and Orthodox Faith Examined and The Apocrypha "The Jewish canon, or the Hebrew Bible, was universally received, while the Apocrypha added to the Greek version of the Septuagint were only in a general way accounted as books suitable for church reading, and thus as a middle class between canonical and strictly apocryphal (pseudonymous) writings. And justly; for those books, while they have great historical value, and fill the gap between the Old Testament and the New, all originated after the cessation of prophecy, and they cannot therefore be regarded as inspired, nor are they ever cited by Christ or the apostles" (Philip Schaff, History of the Christian Church, book 3, chapter 9) 21 reasons why the Apocrypha is not inspired: The Roman Catholic Church did not officially canonize the Apocrypha until the Council of Trent (1546 AD).

Did Yahweh Have a Consort, Kuntillet Ajrud, Ze'ev Meshel, 1979 ... In three short seasons of excavation in 1975 and 1976 we uncovered a remarkable (and completely unexpected) collection of ancient Hebrew and Phoenician inscriptions painted on plaster walls and large storage jars, and incised on stone vessels. When the inscriptions were read, we discovered that they provided clear evidence that Kuntillet Ajrud was not merely a resting place for desert travelers but was principally a religious center.

Sunday is not the "Christian Sabbath" Is Sunday the "Christian Sabbath"? No! The Sabbath was Saturday and was nailed to the cross!
