  • In this video, we'll overview the Apocrypha: texts that were left out of the Bible. From the Old Testament: Enoch, Jubilees, Bel and the Dragon; to the New Testament: The Gospel of Judas, Mary and Thomas. For one reason or another, these texts were excluded from Biblical Canon.
    Now, this is not an exhaustive list. There are many, MANY, books in the Apocrypha. We're really just at the tip of the iceberg and sampling some of the most prominent texts. This is just an introduction after all. I'd love to go into more detail into these books such as Enoch and the Gospel of Judas. Let me know what you'd like to see in the comments below.
    This video marks the start of Season II. Thank you for your patience, I can't wait to surprise you with more obscure topics that deserve more attention...

      I mean as a commenter put it, the bible is literally just a bunch of fanfiction and eventually some people decided what was canon and what isn't. The bible is already a mess of plotholes and continuity errors in it of itself, but adding the other books would make it into an ungodly and impossible to understand amalgamation of weird stories. It would be cool to have a complete bible for historical purposes, but seeing how religious people put the bible on such a high pedestal, they probably wouldn't take a complete bible seriously and they'd say that it's blasphemy or something weird like that.

      ​@@harryallenpearce89 The term apocrypha was applied to the books by Jerome who died in AD420. He insisted that they were not scripture and did not want to include them in the Vulgate but was overruled. The disputation on these books does not originate with the reformation.

      Jerome quoted those writings as Scripture later.
      You left that part out.
      And it was Martin Luther that moved those books to the center and titled the Apocrypha, declaring them to not be Scripture.
      Both Jerome and Luther were referring back to the Council of Jamnia. Not only was the Deuterocanonical books left out, Jesus Christ was also rejected as Messiah, and all NT writings were rejected.
      In Jerome’s defense, he didn’t know that canonization happened AFTER the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, which is why Jerome changed his opinion later, quoting those writings.
      Martin Luther doesn’t have that excuse.

    What most people do not consider is that "The Bible" was translated into the Latin language at a certain time, in a certain place and by a certain people. Not only was it translated, it was cobbled together from many separate items in different languages, from diverse lands and eras. Effectively, "The Bible" was created, by selecting and editing certain scriptures in certain ways. Had some decisions been made differently, we could have ended up with a completely different bible, and some completely different religions as well. But as it is, the creation process of this book was full of opportunities for things to go wrong. The decision to produce a single book may have been a mistake in itself.

      The Apocryphal books are only called that by protestants, they're canonical to Catholics and Eastern Orthodox.

    • @rafexrafexowski4754
      @rafexrafexowski4754 Рік тому +4

      When we're talking about the Old Testament apocrypha, we have a bit of a problem. The person in the video is using wrong terminology, the books like Tobit, Judith and 1 and 2 Maccabees were in the Bible since 300 BC, but Luther thought they were made up stories, so protestants don't have them, but both the catholic and orthodox churches treat them like any other books. That's why they are called deuterocanonical books, not apocrypha. The real Old Testament apocrypha like Enoch or Jubilees are just books written by Bible scholars that were never really aiming to be in the Bible, they were just interesting teachings claiming to be written by some important Old Testament character to be more popular. So those were either obviously not trying to be in the Bible or they were gotten rid of by Luther.
      When it comes to New Testament apocrypha, the great majority are already too new to be in the Bible, being fifth-or-more-hand accounts of Jesus's life. Out of these you have those that simply collect tradition of questionable origin (Gospel of Thomas, Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew, Acts of Peter), those that are made up "fanfiction" (Acts of Paul and Thecla, Infancy Gospel of James, Questions of Bartholomew) and those made up by gnostics (Gospel of Philip, Gospel of Mary, Gospel of Judas) that all follow a single theme: a person Jesus knew is told the "actual truth" by him, the apostles don't believe them and so the gnostics are better because all of Jesus's teachings were fake and only that one person was told the truth and only they know it. They are so obviously fake it's absurd. None of those three types of New Testament apocrypha were trustworthy enough to be put in the Bible. And then there are just some letters by early scholars and popes that easily could have been in the Bible but people just decided that they were just written too late. Nothing controversial about them, they just had to draw the line somewhere. So no, no books were excluded because christians didn't like them.

      @@Arelius_02 many of the so called “apocryphal” were always part of Christianity because they were part of Judaism during Jesus' time.
      Some books like Maccabees do take place after, but that's because there's a period of centuries between the Old and New Testament in Protestant Bibles were nothing happens, Catholic and Orthodox Bibles fill this void, and these more historical focused books are no different than Chronicles for example, no real reason to exclude them.

      @@Arelius_02 You are wrong, there are literal books of the Dead Sea Scrolls like Sirach, Tobit and Baruch not found in Protestant Bibles or Jewish Tanakh, but they are found in Catholic and Orthodox Bibles.
      And who's Maliki?

      @@adrian7856 sorry I meant Malachi stupid iPhone autocorrect who was the last of the minor prophets and is the last book of the Old Testament those apocrypha do not correlate with the rest of the Old Testament maccabees states you may pray for the dead while the Bible states Deuteronomy 18:9-12 states a consulter with familiar sports, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the lord Jews believed that the Bible doesn’t contradict itself and doesn’t have any contradictions inside of it either but adding those non biblical canon text contradicts the Bible after Malachi the Old Testament was complete and finished anything after between him and Jesus’s time is non canon because once Jesus is born the New Testament starts leaving no room for any other false texts

    I would love to get more in depth videos of the Books of Enoch, Jubilees, and Judas. I somehow stumbled upon your video of what the angels really looked like and I was sucked in immediately. Your videos are very educational, and you can tell you have taken time learning about all of this. Also please make more videos about Cipher's, that one was pretty cool.
    Is there anything in the books that are in the bible itself, or the ones not listed, that speak of parallel universes? Just curious
