People have tried, I was just on Reddit (Quora?) Where the Bombast deflects as well as any fencing partner.
WHY is it apocrypha, Who says?
It's relevant because of the recent scrap of paper turning out to be the Gospel of Thomas, and a book (I just found this out) called the book of Enoch.
Enoch was old, but he wasn't that old. 365 years, compared to Methuselah's 900++.

You could prolly argue that their math was rocky, or when people say "Richer than God" or "Older than God" they don't mean it, but these guys are dead serious and take their Bibles (and Apocrypha's) literally.
If you're of a mind, you can follow the discussion until it fades away to nothing....
But the bottom line is, stuff is "Apocrypha" because someone said it was, someone with God's Imprimatur (using different words)
It's like asking (today) what constitutes a christmas tree, it's obvious to all of us it's a pine tree, but waaay back when,
who decided? The Pine-tree-council??
Yeahbutt yew cannot trust wikipedia, written by satan's helpers. Pastor so-and-so says Yada blah. |
The thrust of the train of this thought is a sermon about a guy named "Enoch." (and Ted Faro, Walter Londra, Eric, and the rest of the assholes in Zenith.)
Enoch (according to some or at least one) never actually died, he just "Walked with God"
When someone else says "That's just an expression" like "He passed"
or "They passed"
Remember that these guys believe that certain translations are the very literal word of God.
