Martin Luther’s 1534 Bible was the first to separate the Apocrypha as an intertestamental section with a note explaining they are not divinely inspired. The Geneva Bible followed this example in 1599. The 1611 King James Bible also printed the Apocrypha, but it was removed in 1885...
Just a line to say that using a bible wide search program, I have not been able to find a reference to a "Judith" except where Esau takes several wives, with one being named Judith. There is a reference in the Apocrypha, specifically the book of Judith, but those books are not regard...

But what does Bushman personally believe? “I still believe in gold plates,” he affirmed. “I don’t think Joseph Smith could have dictated the Book of Mormon text without inspiration. I think he was sincere in saying he saw God. The glimpse Joseph Smith gives us of divine inter...
That is certainly God's hope, but even he tells us in the Bible that some of even those who cry "Lord" will not enter. Part of my comments were edited out last time. Maybe they will be posted this time. The Bible does mention households being baptized. It never specifically names an...
Scripture is God’s inspired word, but what exactly does that mean? The biblical word for inspiration is the Greek word theopneustos, but it appears only once in Scripture (2 Tim. 3:16). There is no OT word for “inspiration”; one will search the Septuagint in vain fortheopneustosor...
