Hey BEAT family! Happy Friday! Here are 5 reasons why I believe that the apocrypha was not inspired by God and therefore should NOT in in our Bibles today. There are many false teachings in it and I go through only a few of them in this video. This video is much longer than my normal ones but please do watch and follow as best you can as this is a very DEEP and difficult topic to cover. Leave your questions, comments, disagreements below and let's talk about it! Please be respectful of all. Blessings,
Love this channel
You are wrong the apocrypha is part of the bible, It refers to new testament a lot of times .
I am orthodox so it has more deutocanonical books
@@wigi3795 Did you watch this video? How can you argue in light of the doctrinal inconsistencies found in the apocrypha? Have you truly investigated this and not just accepted what might have been handed down to you? The Bible cannot contradict itself and so therefore, there cannot be two truths. Either the Bible is wrong or the apocrypha is wrong. But they both cannot be right.
hey mr Paar, I really enjoyed the video, thanks for the advice.
and I have a question: Is convincing non believers to convert into christianity/muslim/jew a good thing in these days?
Hey Allen there's some misinformation in your video from the standpoint that you give the impression that the Apocrypha found in the Catholic bible is the same as the KJV 1611. In the 1611 there are 14 books in the KJV Apocrypha not 7 as you found in the Catholic bible. I would not be surprised that the Roman Catholics took certain liberties with the scriptures by inserting the doctrines of men in their pages. As they have by so-called removing the Sabbath day for Sunday and giving alternative holy days like Christmas and Easter not found in the Bible but were pagan celebration hundreds of years before Christ stepped on the scene.
A comparative analysis between the two versions would be interesting. Based on the 14 KJV books I've read so far I haven't seen any doctrinal differences with the Canon. The two work together. The Maccabees also give a historical account of the time of the third beast's reign (The Greeks). When I was in the protestant church, I was always told that the period between the old and new testament is when God was silent. But this turned out to be false information once I started reading for myself. I've never viewed a Catholic Bible.
I noticed that you quote from the Catholic bible. Have you read all 14 books of the KJV Apocrypha for at least scholarship purposes (so that you know that you know for yourself) or are your references based on other sources and commentaries? The only reason I ask is because of the focus on the Catholic 7 books but do not acknowledge the KJV 14 books. Laymen who view your video won't know the difference, so I think you do the people a disservice.
Praise the Most High for you desire to serve His people, but we must worship him in spirit and in truth. So, you got to give the people the whole truth even in these short videos.
Shalom.
Please brothers and sisters in Christ, pray for my grandfather. He is dying and until know, he cannot let go. Please pray that the LORD may grand him peace and eternal life. I don't want him to suffer any longer. Thank you and God bless!
[Edit: My Grandpa died in the end of 2019]
Thank you all for your prayers.
Precious Lord, please heal grandpa so he no longer suffers, and please heal him in spirit, in mind, and in body, and please reconcile him unto you, and please work out whatever is needed so he accepts your invitation to go home with you where he belongs for eternity in the diviness of thou name. Amen.

I hope everyone reads those books and when you do pray to the Lord and ask him.
Yes of course we have read them. They have nothing to say about Messiah
@@thedude4594 theres actually many things in there that are practically christ words you didnt read them youve just been taught to hate catholics.
Thank you Allan I’ve been watching your videos since high school I love learning new doctrine and topics!
It's almost like saying that Jesus' salvation isn't enough. Actually, it is.
Smh. If it's about salvation, then you don't need most of the books in the bible
And anything less than 100% belief in Jesus as our savior is calling GOD a liar. Its all about Jesus
@@nanakojo Its about salvation and much more. Salvation is the end part, being with GOD...but those books added to the Bible add context to GODs word. Then there is the bigest part...love of GOD for us. Of course salvation is important but its more thn salvation
He said the most important commandment was to Love god. If you love me you would keep my fathers commandments. So yeah they kinda go hand in hand.
@@ninjaman6861 Love thy LORD, your GOD, with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.
Don't apologize for the length of the video. I think you should make longer videos. You get more detail and explain things better. Thanks for all your videos and all that you do. God bless!
Thanks Luis! Glad you enjoyed the longer length of video!
I agree. Longer videos means you can go into greater detail
ruclips.net/video/tRmlW954PwI/видео.html This video rebutted by a widely known Catholic theologian
i agree, a longer video would be a great idea especially for us that are finding our way back, we have so many questions when we start to learn about the Bible :) i was Catholic and just in the small amount I have learned from my pastors I have seen how wrong we were practicing our Faith all along. thank u for ur videos! thank you for educating and informing us, you go about it in a very respectful manner.
@@iseyserolf8893 Brother, please consider watching this. ruclips.net/video/tRmlW954PwI/видео.html
Wow! You can really see how spiritually discerned this brother allen parr is
You blew me away with that statement from King Messiah affirming those specific books, praise and glory to God forever.Thank you.
The book of Maccabees does not tell us to pray for the dead. It explains what they were doing at that time. It does not instruct us to pray for the dead. There are many/most books that explain what the people were doing, but just because they were doing it doesn't mean it was right to do. Books talk about the sinning of man, it isn't telling us to sin. It's just telling us what they were doing.
Justin Durham if you haven't already, check out Gino Jennings on RUclips. Truth of God
Then why are Catholics praying for the dead???
MICHAEL MOLIG because they are misguided, and not reading the Bible. First of all, and feel free to correct me with Bible, nowhere in the Bible does it say to create religions. Nowhere in the Bible does it say to be Catholic, Protestant, Baptist, Non-Denominational, Lutheran, and so on (list them all). The Bible says to follow Jesus and be like Jesus. Like all of these listed above they were created by man to fit their own agenda. Please look into the origin of the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church does tons of things that aren't in the Bible. Allow me: Ash Wednesday, worshiping Mary, worshiping saints, creating holy days, the trinity. Seriously I could go on.

I've had multiple dreams of Jesus returning 🙏 I pray whoever reads this repents and worships Jesus.
I dont not know the day nor the hour but I know he's return is near!
Thank you Jesus!
Don't know if its relevant due to the warning of "dreamer of dreams" but I've had dreams of the moon and eventually of me walking into the moon and a quick research of what it could mean led to "lunacy" which i was recently diagnosed with schizophrenia after meeting and hearing demons and angels. Even a recent dream of a multi headed dragon and being summoned into battle with angels in what looked like a city in the sky... so yeah, im with you Naidy, im hoping people read and watch this and all of us repent and return to the truth quickly.

@@VagabondWithFlowers Schizophrenia is a spiritual disease. Google how most patients with schizophrenia are successful with a faith-based treatment.
@@zen-sufi thanks for that, and hopefully I can learn to do more good than bad. But sadly I think the Lord wants me like this due to my character... I was reading Romans and it pretty much hit home that my mind was given to reprobate... convincing me that i am becoming an antichrist

That Josephus reference brought everything together for me. Not everything that's written, however useful and informative, is Divine! Thank You, Brother Parr 🙏💯
Except Josephus is part of the Pharisees, which is only ONE sect of Jews at the time. Other sects of Jews did accept and use those books, including the apostles and their disciples. Also keep in mind, that Josephus used the so-called apocryphal version of Esther and Ezra, which are not in your bibles.

Allan parr was in error when he said the Catholics Bible has 14 books now he’s changing his words
Thank you for breaking this down. I have a clearer understanding of the Apocrypha now.
Thank you for the explanation, brother Allen Parr. As an african, it's normal to hear stories of communicating with spirits of dead people and I used to quote *Ecclesiastes 9:5* or *Deuteronomy 13* to escape from such questions. But, after reading *Luke **16:19**-30 (The Rich Man and Lazarus)* my eyes were opened. May God bless you for such wisdom!
Can you tell me how this chapter helped your eyes to open? I'm just curious because people are into spirits and talking to their ancestors
@@keynat9755 Abraham said to The rich man, “And besides, there is a great chasm separating us. No one can cross over to you from here, and no one can cross over to us from there.’”
Luke 16:26 NLT, to be this indicates that there is a separation from the living and the dead and that we cannot crossover to the spiritual world
I’ve had dead people come to me since I was around 7. I questioned anything anyone tells me NOT to read. Jesus did it and he say we would do greeter things. I’ll stick to my spirit and Jesus verses an opinion. I’m smart enough to think for myself. Some I believe some is obvious I don’t. Have the Holy Spirit cover you and make your own decisions people. No man can truly be trusted but Jesus… he can. Blessings.
PS study king James and how he reworded things ti fit him and his homosexual ways. There was 80 books (I believe that’s the number) taken down to 66. Yes 66.
@@CastleCompleteCrusade the kjv still condemns homosexuality though does it not?
Hello Mr. Parr. I just subscribed to your channel - A blessing from God. Your clear, succinct teachings are my learning style. Thank you for this informative video.
Very good explanations as to why these Apocryphal books should not be part of inspired Scripture! Thank you for truth! 🙏🏻💫📖
This was a poor explanation read the book for yourself
But isn't that rich man praying to "Abraham"? And isn't he dead? Then how is he communicating with the dead???
I believe it's just a parable. I would humble suggest you may be reading too much into it.
Just talking isn't praying, and they are both dead
@@Jesus123ioasdjfkasjfkjlasdfask Luke 16:27, "Then he said, I PRAY THEE therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:" Exactly how is that not praying, when he's clearly saying "I PRAY THEE"?
@@Joseph-pe9yu to believe it's just a parable is also reading too much into it. The Bible over and over identifies when Christ is speaking a parable and it doesn't do so here. The rich man is clearly quoted as praying in Luke 16:27, "Then he said, I PRAY THEE therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:" Now, his prayer fell on deaf ears, but he was clearly dead and clearly praying.
@@jimmie_gthe word “father” is direct address so isn’t he addressing God? Genuine question not trying to sound smart just curious
Thank you for teaching us brother, God bless you and protect you as you minister!
I have a copy of the Apocrypha that I’m going to read for myself.
Please do!! It was in there for a reason
People you have to go a little deeper. Copy and Paste this video " tribe of judah teach apocrypha" never get info from a Christian who just heard get it from one who can break down the Apocrypha.
Did u buy it
Guys, guys, it's not a bad set of books, it just isn't biblical. You can still gain some wisdom from them just don't think they are legit Gods books to be concluded.
@@legatelanius1465 if the books within the Deuterocanon aren’t “Biblical”, which I think you meant to say canonical but I get your lower level of understanding...then the Book of Esther or the Book of Daniel aren’t “Biblical”...
Thank you so much for this. I have had questions about this for a while. There is still so much of the Bible that I would like to understand, I just have the faith that's what I need to be concentrating on. This video is very helpful.
Very helpful, will definitely check up on it. Thanks

@@R.P-ACE777 right, but the argument over what is and isn't part of the Bible is the context here
🤣🤣🤣
@@R.P-ACE777 I believe he has a name.
The original 1611 king James Bible has the apocrypha. It’s not just the Catholic Bible that has it.
Yep not only that but Luther wanted to throw out the book of James cause it said man is not saved by faith alone. Protestants really don't think shit through.
Jean Boshears thank u I was coming to say the same thing and there is more than 7 books
The Geneva Bible came before the KJV and it is more accurate than the KJV and it does not have the Apocrypha. God bless y'all.

Brother, Parr, this presentation was spiritually enlightening. Keep of the "God" Work!!!👏👍
The Book of Wisdom is one of my favorites, especially chapter 3!!!
Excellent video. I love how you are not afraid to touch on subjects that might offend certain believers. The truth will set us all free. God bless.
This man is misled. Did King David himself not say "If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there." Thats just the part about prayer for the dead. Maybe he just doesnt understand the nature of death but thats all. Also theres nothing else wrong with the other claims im almost certain.
Ninjaman You are reaching so hard you might pull a muscle.
@@Spainkiller Maybe he's already pulled a few muscles
Yes, I agree. Protestantism is a damnable heresy.
@@filiusvivam4315 There is nothing heretical about choosing to use the Bible - and only the Bible - as God's Word. It's the blasphemous acts of the Catholic Church (e.g. including apocryphal books, pagan rituals, etc.) that deserve scrutiny, and we should all thank Martin Luther for bringing this knowledge to the illiterate masses.
I hope you see the error of your ways and reclaim your salvation.
I am neither Protestant nor Catholic, but that was an excellent presentation.
This video is one of the best.....it answer my questions and gave me so much insight......good job my brother ❤
I will definitely recommend this video many people are confused and so was I but this cleared it up real quick
The first ad on this video was for a Catholic high school. I love irony.
I watch a lot of videos on cars, so my ads are about cars. If I watch movies on RUclips, the ads will be of new upcoming movies on Amazon.
Catholic high schools are actually good places for instilling morals
As if Allen has control over what ads will be coming up
@@charlenea6180 this right here . I went to catholic school myself and if it’s wasn’t for that school I wouldn’t have known nothing about god. No one ever told me once god loved me or was on my side . I had to figure it out on my own but catholic school helped me put that fear in me when it came to sin . So I thank that school for that .
Irony is not Coincidence

There are true books of the Word amongst the Apocrypha.. it was hidden by liars who wish to hide knowledge from the elect
Thanks Allen for your channel. I come here for english explanations of subjects I am learning about. lol. I can actually understand what you're saying so thanks!
The book of Jasher is mentioned twice in kjv Joshua 10:13; 2 Samuel 1:18 but is not in the kjv only in the apocrypha. Why is the book mentioned?
you see he didnt answer the question.
Wasn’t the book of Jashar not preserved and lost?
They were mentioned in the old testament because they are historical books, but not devinely inspired, that's why they weren't mentioned in the new testament.
@@tibbers__1138 this makes ZERO sense dude good try though 🤣😂😅
Mormonism and the latter day saints pray to the dead and are baptized too. (Bad doctrine)
Right, you can be baptized into a false religion (by an evil spirit) , but not born again
They don't pray to the dead in fact they are instructed to pray only to the Father but they believe Mormons in Paradise go into what they call Spirit prison and preach the Gospel if Spirit accepts then if Baptisms and other ordinances are performed on earth they can get out, so much wrong with that doctrine it is surprising anyone could believe it but they do.
No. We only perform baptism in proxy of those who have passed on, your ancestry. We don't pray yo the dead. Didn't you register this Matthew 6:5-15 kjb into your hardrive? Thanks for spreading lies.
Sad how people are gullible to their own insecurities aren't they.
I actually heard a funny story about this where an LDS woman was able to trace her lineage to the prophet Mohammed. As a result, he is apparently now baptized by proxy into the church.
Hell has to empty up all her dead inhabitants for the the Final Judgement. All the dead both righteous and wicked who are waiting in paradise and hell in those holding places, Spirit prison is the place the rich man had found himself stuck in and Paradise where Lazarus went, is a holding place of peace and rest for gathering of all the righteous spirits, so the wicked will wait in a place of misery while the righteous will wait in a place of peace. They will be waiting for the time of the Resurrection and Final Judgement.
Yes if someone does the temple work for their ancestors they will be let out of the prison....Isaiah describes the temple work of the dead of the prisoners being let out of spirit prision in Isaiah 42:6-7 But those who can't discern spiritual truth will only think it is just an earthly prison and not a spiritual prison.' This is why Paul talked about the three degrees of glory or gradings of the resurrection of the dead will go into after the books are first all opened up and all the dead stand all before God and are judged according to their works (Rev 20:12-13) . In the resurrection and Final Judgement everybody will be assigned by God a degree of glory (1 Cor 15:40-43) according to the works they have performed down here on the earth for God is Just.. He will grade all of the dead according to their works.....
Speaking of the grading of the dead, Jesus taught, Ín My Father's House are Many Mansions'' Those who have sinned unto Perdition however like Judas did, will not be saved by the Father in a mansion of glory but
will go to a place of no glory, but the rest who don't sin unto perdition will be saved in a degree of glory in
heaven in one of those three levels so those who sin unto perdition will be cast into another place of hell
called Outer Darkness down into that hell in the lake of fire which has no end to suffer in the second death
while the temporary hell comes to an end when it delivers up all its dead out of it at the judgement who are worthy of receiving a mansion who have not sinned unto perdition....
So yes we teach that during the Millennium while Christ is on earth when he arrives, the wicked will suffer in the flame of eternal torment of dissapointment like the Rich man in hell for their unrepented sins and then they are brought out and judged, resurrected and assigned the lowest degree of glory by God because these spirits were rebellious, and disobedient to God and were not valiant on the earth and would not come to Christ. So they suffer even as Jesus did for them if you read the sufferings of Jesus in the garden of gethsemane, being in great agony for all our sins, that will be the sufferings of the wicked they will andure the pains of a God. But God is just and is no respecter of persons...
Straight blatant contradictions in these books! Paying money for salvation etc.. is clearly saying that Jesus Christ’s work wasn’t enough! It reminds me how Simon tried to pay to get Holy Spirit smh. Thanks for pointing this out brother Allen🙏🏾
Which is more dangerous to its believers....catholicism or scientology?
The reson I wonnder this is because scientology doesnt preach salvation comes through scientology

Thank you for this. It helps my understanding greatly.
Thank you for this video Brother Allen, it is very educational. I am noticing that a lot of comments that disagree use their emotions and not arguments.
For clarification, I love my Catholic brothers and sisters, I was just pointing out that one side was using arguments to make their case as far as I could tell.
The books were used by Christians for over 1400 years, they were only removed in the 19th century. Why should we reject them when christians historically did not do so?
@@christsavesreadromans1096 Exactly!
Just found one of these bibles in my house. Turns out my husband bought it years ago just figuring it was a regular bible. When I opened it and saw these new books I had to come research and see what it was ! So thanks for the video
Look at Dr. Taylor Marshall's video on these books
Trent Horn also does a rebuttal of this video! Both he and Marshall are good places to check for info on this
don't thank him, believe half of what you see and none of what you hear. use you're own discernment and ask Yah for guidence
They are not new, they've always been there. Only Luther did them away, but at the same time he also tried to throw out James, Revelation, and Hebrews so his temper was most certainly "inspired" (not).
Thank you brother Allen for this!!
I thought you did a great job Allen, keep up the great work.

Wow such a great teaching! So informative!
Thank you so much for wonderful explanation.
The very definition of Apocryphal in Webster’s Dictionary is “of doubtful authenticity; SPURIOUS.” The best lies are the ones closest to the truth. We really have to pray for discernment in this life and for the Holy Spirit to reveal what is truth and what is deception. Great video! Thanks!

I know Allen is indeed a good-hearted Christian, but there are also misconceptions that he unfortunately was either raised or fell into.
May God Bless you and I pray for the best on your journey!
God bless you man of God. I'm a teacher myself and I am elated that you took the time to explain this to the people. It's something that I had to do as well, as I debated with others who were operating in ignorance. What's sad is that I came out of a Pentecostal Church and I heard there were preachers who were preaching and quoted from the Apocrypha themselves. The problem is that people are not seeking the Lord for truth and understanding. No one is fasting and praying and asking the Lord to confirm anything through the Holy Spirit anymore. They are just basing everything off of someone else's teachings and their intellect and that's why there are so many people giving in to false teachings. People need to realize that the Apocrypha was written during a time when God, because of His anger and displeasure had stopped speaking to His people. For 400 years, He was silent, until He sent John the Baptist. It was man who decided they needed to finish the scriptures. And to add to the Bible. But they did it without the guidance of the Holy Spirit or confirmation by the prophets. And the fact that the Jews and even Jesus Himself, who was also a Jew and the Apostles rejected these writings and didn't even reference them in the New Testament, should be all the evidence that people need to understand that these books should be rejected. But Satan is cunning and deceitful. He is the father of lies and has deceived many people into accepting these other teachings. The Bible tells us that we shouldn't seek after being teachers, knowing that the judgment for us will be harsher than others. You have to be called to be a true Kingdom Teacher. You have to be anointed by the Lord. Have to allow the Holy Spirit to guide you as you research and study to be able to rightly divide the Word of Truth. And many people are not called and are teaching based off of their own understanding. These false teachers are going to have to give an account for misleading so many people. And those who just accept it, without seeking the Lord through prayer and fasting, will be held accountable too. The Apocrypha is the Word of God people. It's the word of man, who tried to add to the Word of God because God stopped sending people to write scriptures. Please pray and fast about it, sincerely and I assure you that the Lord will confirm what this man is teaching as being true. God Bless You.
"The Apocrypha is the Word of God people." I trust you meant "The Apocrypha is NOT the Word of God people. Good message otherwise.
Your right
My mom told me that I'll know in my heart if apogrypha is legit because the holy spirit will tell me. Truth be told, I stopped reading the apogrypha because it didn't feel right. I was convicted by it. An that's the evidence I need. Godbless.
Crazy how I was just wondering about all of this, and talking to my Catholic friend about it. Definitely helped me understand it a lot more! Thank you!
Go watch Trent Horn's rebuttal of this video. You may be surprised at how wrong Alan is in this video
The books that Protestants removed from the Bible are not Apocrypha to the Original Church. Maccabees talks about how they got tired of standing there and getting killed. Just to be clear, Mr. Parr says Judas, but it's not the Judas of the New Testament. They pray for the dead so that the Lord will have mercy on the fallen people's souls... Only the living can pray, so when someone dies, they are no longer able to pray because their body is gone. We pray for them for mercy. The money is not to buy favor... it's a sacrifice of our property... for works asking forgiveness for their sins. It's a selfless act. So Mr. Parr needs to understand things in context before he condemns them. Praying for someone on their behalf is not a sin. It's actually what Christ tells us to do. And if the dead can't pray, then we are their only source of prayer. Why would it be bad to ask Christ to forgive the sins of a sinner? We are all sinners.
The money for the collection of Drachmae was for a jewish custom where they would do a sacrifice to cleanse people of their sin. We don't do animal sacrifices anymore, but praying for the dead, on their behalf, is a kind thing to do for a soul who can not ask forgiveness for their own sins. The reason why Mr. Parr doesn't understand this is because he comes to Maccabees with preconceived notions that we pray to dead people. NOPE. We pray to Christ to forgive them, and we have memorials and liturgies to lift them up from sin, because that is how the Jews did things. The virgin Mary interceded on the behalf of the wedding party in Canan, and Christ changed HIs mind and made wine from water... Why can't we pray to Christ to have mercy on someone's soul who has fallen asleep to the Lord? I want people to pray for me after I die, and everyone should. As a matter of fact, the Orthodox Church prays for the Protestant dead to lift them up, because we know that there are people like Mr. Parr that do not understand the Context.
I wish I could be as stupid as this brother.
i wonder why you protestant don't tell us what is the standard criteria that the Church used in determining what is inspired books to be included in the bible. Instead of ranting about your personal opinion just use the set of standard criteria set when the bible is compiled. as said no offense to you protestants the bible was not compile base on personal opinions but their is a standard and how they determined it.!
@@alfonstabz9741 What's the standard?
That was incredible, thank you!
The way you say “books” makes me laugh 😂 be blessed brother
Thought i was the only one😂😂😂

Bless you brother Allen.
I was raised catholic..now
Born again believing, & did not know
Why the Catholic church included extra books . I agree w your teaching and correction on this subject matter.
I thank the Holy spirit for HIS divine work in you and teaching me this truth
through you.
May you continue to be strengthened and blessed in your ministry for CHRIST JESUS and your family as well.☺🙏💗
In ‘Against Heresies’ (Book III, Chapter 21) 180 AD, Bishop Ireneaus writes the Apostles that used the Septuigint. Read it yourselves. Ireneaus was taught by Polycarp, and Polycarp was taught by John the Apostle. Who are you going to trust?
Zero Christian bibles prior to Martin Luther in the 1,500’s had bibles that matches the current Protestant bible

By far the best video I have found about this topic. Thank you and God bless!
Excellent video..definitely gonna look into more of your content!!
God bless you bro!! Your videos are on time
I have tried to point these things out to try to lovingly correct family members that were taught these things their whole lives and they get really hostile and tell me that my Bible is wrong. Either God said this or he didn't, but they can't both be right at the same time.
Thank you for taking the time to create this video. I really appreciate what I’ve learned and will pray and do research moving forward.
Very helpful brother parr. I think most of these are pretty solid arguments but i think the best one is that there are many concepts in the apocrypha that don’t line up with scripture at all.
Thanks for explaining so clearly. I knew about this matter before, but I have found your teaching so easily transmittable to others who believe differently.
Hello! Thank you! Question for you regarding that part of Maccabees...
Under the old covenant, wasn't Israel often treated as a whole when it came to their sins? Could it be possible that the prayer regarding blotting out their sins was done so that God would spare Israel as a nation any fate that might come upon them because of these men's actions and that's why they were so thankful God showed them their sin? Repentance was often done as a nation.
Now this is a Good question....
This actually makes a lot of sense, and then it also means either way, apocrypha or no apocrypha, the practice of praying for the dead and purgatory is heresy
Sound reasoning.
My same thoughts as I listened to it. The best point from his video is why Jews don’t accept these books. Every other point he made is debatable and seems possible to be taken out of context.
@@mra.4466 how can jews not accept the apocrypha considering the fact it was translated by Grecians (Greek speaking jews), and not to mention The Septuagint and The Apocyrpha was highly influenced by the Grecians that is why it was written in Koine Greek.
“Most people probably won’t recognize quotes from the Apocrypha so it’s easy to make the claim that the NT does not quote from it. But the NT and Jesus both quote the Apocryphal books; even if they are short or glancing quotes.”
Can you give reference in Scripture where those are?
@@mattmoeller1105 Jude and 2 Peter. A quick Google search will assist you.
Also, Jesus speaking of angels not marrying. This one is less concrete, thus mentioning last. The others are explicit.
Very well presented. Tremendously accurate and useful scriptural information. Really appreciate your thoughtfulness in explaining this topic. We'll done brother!!
Nothing about this is accurate 😂 read it for yourself
I agree with @snss1440. Well done!!
In the book of Joshua it refers to the book of Jasher. In the book of Jude it refers to the book of Enoch. (Jasher & Enoch were removed from the bible) If these are Justified books why would they be referring to scripture that isn't true, books that arent inspired? That makes no sense. The same council that removed these books and others almost removed Revelations. If they did teachers like this would tell you to avoid it, and if we did how much critical information would we have missed? To much! Thats why the scripture teaches that you should not add or take away from his word. He knew people were gonna take away from his word. Do we believe the council or His word? Do we trust The Father or man? If you trust the people that removed his books then remove the book of Jude & Joshua yourself since they refer to corrupt scripture that this (so called anointed) council didn't deem as credible. Keep in mind you will find nowhere in scripture where the Most High had given these men permission to subtract from his word.
Excellent rebuttal
Both books are great sources that supports the canonized 66 books. I also like the book of Enoch.
@@jdrake63 haven't got there yet I'm still reading through Jubilees amazed on all the background info I've missed
@@AbiyahbenJudah Indeed!
The apocrypha is inspired... And why is he using "Protestant" so much? Where is that in the so called cannonized Bible? Why should a believer in Christ identify as that just because of what Martin Luther did?
The word of God in proverbs says that the dead know nothing!! Chai!
Ecclesiastes 9:5
@@odaniel5000 Thanks for the correction bro!
Matthew 22: 31-32
31But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, 32I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
f I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
He may not be God of the Dead; Thats Appolyons job, but his power sure does extend over there. How would Appolyon do a thing without God's command?
Jesus said, "For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him." This seems to mean that there is no god of the dead.
Thanks once again, Allen. And don't be afraid of going on a subject on your videos longer than usual. Not to stoke any embers of pride, but sometimes I personally wish you would go up to at least 30 minutes. But you go in the direction of the Holy Spirit; and Him only.
Very informative. Thank you!
I was on the fence about this topic but after watching this video I'm convinced the Apochrypha is absolutely not scriptural by a long shot. Thanks for sharing friend!
I'm sorry that this video pushed you into the wrong direction. If lies were forbidden to be used to persuade someone to their point of view, then almost the entirety of this video would not exist. I'm hoping for a public debate with this guy, so I can publically confront him for these lies. Here a list:
#1 - Catholics are not the only group that acccepts these books, so it's not a Catholic debate - its a debate against modern Christianity versus the first 1600 years of Christianity.
#2 - misrepresentation of what 2 Maccabees teaches
#3 - misrepresentation of what Tobit teaches (Tobit itself provides the context even, that shows that he's taking it out of context), also both Jesus and Daniel teach the same thing
#4 - misrepresentation of what Barcuh teaches
#5 - Wisdom 11:17 does not contradict Genesis is any way shape or form -- I'm at a loss of words to understand the logic behind this claim (if that's the absolute best he can find, something that agrees 100% with the bible) then that proves there's nothing wrong with the book
#6 - lie that Jews rejected those books
#7 - lie that Josephus rejected those books
#8 - "the blood to Abel to Zechariah" is clearly nothing to with a canonical statement
#9 - lie that New Testament never quotes so-called Apocrypha
#10 - this is the absolute biggest lie in the entire video that proves that this person has absolutely no idea whatsoever what they are talking about -- that no one until the 16th century accept them (this lie is so ridiculous - the only people in 1600 years that seem to show some doubt about them was a few people btween 350-400AD, but they got over that and continued to accept them like all Christians did before then)
@@XeenMusicwhere do Jesus and Daniel teach the same as what is said in Tobit?
@@eveangel8967 #1 - For almsgiving rescues out of death and it cleans from every sin. The ones who are doing almsgiving will be filled with food of life; the ones who are doing sin and unrighteousness are warring against their own soul. (Tobit 12:9) & “For by giving alms, you will be storing up good treasure against a day of necessity. For that reason, almsgiving rescues one from death, and keeps one from entering into the darkness. For almsgiving is a good gift in the sight of the Most-High for all who give it.” (4:9~11)
#2 - Nevertheless, all of you, give the things which are within for alms, and, behold, all things will be clean to you. (Luke 11:39)
#3 - Therefore, O King, let my advice seem good to you, and abolish your sin in righteousness and your iniquities by giving alms to poor persons; behold, a lengthening shall come to your prosperity." (Daniel 4:27)
It should also be noted that the context of Tobit with almsgiving has to do with physical consequences in this life. If the person actually read the book, they would know what "rescuing one from death" and "keeps one from entering the darkness means", because the book explains this:
Tobit 14:10-11
“Look, my boy, at what Nadin did to Aciykar, the one who nourished him. Did not Aciykar go down alive into the earth? And yet God redressed the dishonor which was done to his person. And Aciykar came out again to see the light, but Nadin passed into the darkness which lasts even to the age, because he had sought to kill-off Aciykar. Because he did alms, Aciykar was saved out of a snare of the death which Nadin pitched for him, but Nadin fell-in into the trap instead, and it caused him to become lost. 11 And now, little-boys-and-girls, see what almsgiving does, and what unrighteousness does-how it kills off.”
This is referring to a situation, in which Nadin plots against the righteous Aciykar and has him slanderously put in a physical prison. But because of the fact that Aciykar had been giving alms, this shows that he was a righteous man and the king recognizes this and saves him out of the prison before the day of his execution, and Nadin ends up falling into his own trap and is killed. So this provides an example of what the quotation is referring to in the book itself. So thisRUclips video is failing to show the readers the context of the quotations, and are distorting the truth to make those verses sound like something they are not saying and making it seem like they teach something contrary to the rest of the bible, when they do not.
Thank you for this video, Allen! We were just reading about the Apocrypha in one of my college history classes, so this is perfect timing for me to hear this information from you
Big mistake. If you genuinely want to study a book, shouldn't you approach the author, if available?
So, I recommend you go to the source of the Canon The Catholic Church).
Unless you wish to be a lazy scholar.
I just recently learned about the Apocrypha and I was very curious about it. Your vid is the second one I watched and I agree completely brother. Thanks for this! Be blessed 🙌
Excellent breakdown love you brother 🙏🏽
The dueterocanonical books have been part of the canon of scripture since the late 4th century as decided at the councils of Hippo and Carthage. If you think they shouldn't be part of the canon, then do you think the individual has the authority to decide the canon of scripture? It's a matter of authority.
Martin Luther decided to get rid of books from the Bible, that did not fit with his theological ideology.
@@alanguages No he did not he kept them in the bible as a separate section someone else along the way removed them
alanguages whether this is true or not we have ancient letters from early church fathers which validate almost all of the Protestant New Testament. There is a natural progression to the canon of the New Testament. Councils did not give us “inspired” books... early churches did when they began sharing their letters and book written by the apostles.
@@benlyngdoh7551
Luther actually completely removed the book of James and Revelation from his first translated edition. It was thanks to his collaborators that he ended up putting them back in, with comments depicting James as "an epistle of straw". This is History. And some say Luther was inspired.... riiiiight, certainly not by God.
Thank you for asking this question... very insightful!
Thank you for this teaching! I agree 100%.
Hi Vida!
I pray that you can take your time and watch this video too:
m.ruclips.net/video/cNrcGY5oe3M/видео.html
It's a response on this video. May God Bless you on your journey!
I agree with this summation by Allen, although I must add that Enoch's account of the ancient world definitely helped me understand texts like Genesis 6 , Psalm 82, Psalm89, Psalm91, 2 Peter and Jude concerning fallen Angels, demons and the Sons of God.
Hi @Lance, I'm asking this as I haven't read Enoch, but how do you know that these explanations are actually correct? How does one discern? Please read this in a friendly tone with me asking the question with no ulterior motives.
Helping in understanding doesn't indicate validity, though.Satan can mix truth with lies enough to get in the door. This book tries to validate astrology as legit knowledge.
@@anonimothy5979 the book acknowledges astrology as the teachings of fallen angels, along with cosmetics for women, how to make medicines out of roots/plants, production of weapons, the secrets of mathematics, etc.
Enoch really does give detail that lines up with the information we’re given in Genesis. While we shouldn’t accept Enoch as 100% truth, it gives an explanation to things that haven’t been explained elsewhere.
I know, but my question is - how do I know that it can be trusted?
@@rudihattingh5041 because of the way it was written and found, we can’t be certain it’s the truth or divinely inspired.
The way I look at it, it gives the best explanation of science and history more-so than actual science and history textbooks. I choose to believe it until a better explanation is given.
In ‘Against Heresies’ (Book III, Chapter 21) 180 AD, Bishop Ireneaus writes the Apostles that used the Septuigint. Read it yourselves. Ireneaus was taught by Polycarp, and Polycarp was taught by John the Apostle. Who are you going to trust?
Proverbs 11:4 "righteousness rescues from death"
Revelation 7:9-10 "I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?"
"Righteousness rescues from death"
Indeed, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal LIFE"
"If you add anything to the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross, then, my friend, we are perverting the gospel."
Good word!! 🙌
@Elijah Who wrote that ?
So the Bible shouldn't be had?
THANK GOD FOR ANSWERING MY PRAYER through the explanation of this video. I was just introduced to the Apocrypha and was feeling discouraged. Although many books were written and can be used for knowledge. THE SCRIPTURES are The Holy Writings profitable for Doctrine, for Reproof, for Correction, for Instruction in Righteousness.
Amen brotha!
Unfortunately, this video was not an answer to prayer, since that would mean that God answered you with lies. I am trying to challenge the video's author to a public debate to confront him for his lies and misrepresentation of the truth. Here is a list of some things that are wrong:
#1 - Catholics are not the only group that acccepts these books, so it's not a Catholic debate - its a debate against modern Christianity versus the first 1600 years of Christianity.

the scriptures said that whatsoever think we're written before time was written for our learning!
Brilliantly done. Thank you. I usually just tell people to look up what the word Apocrypha means in a Websters dictionary. The fact that Martin Luther, the original Geneva Bible and King James group them together and call them Apocrypha is them telling your that they are not inspired. Just for historical value.
When we thinking adding and removing books just ask what Bible was there first for over a 1000 years. Also protectants should really learn the doctrine of purgatory. Nothing to do with someone going to hell.
absolutely brilliant you help me a bunch, Blessings thanks so much Brother Jesus Christ is Lord
What about The Feast of dedication (John 10:22) we can't find it in any other place in the 66, However we can find it in the Apocrypha so I humbly disagree brother
I was a Catholic and became Pentecostal Evangelical and was such a smart ass on theology but when it comes to HISTORICAL EVIDENCE. Catholicism is right including the deuterocanonical books and the Eucharist. So I accept it. Apocrypha is a derogatory term Protestants use. I personally don’t believe in praying to saints but I have am glad to say that Catholicism is right😌😌😊. I am a proud catholic reconvert!!!
I don't humble disagree with the dude, I strongly disagree! Dude is off on so many topics.
@@RetroRedacted you need to learn church history, it’s hard to accept.
The Jews chucked it out even the books of Macabees.. Think about it
@@RetroRedacted I understand your point, for me personally Catholics are right. I’ve seen both sides when it comes to the apocrypha and it makes sense to keep them.
