What's with this thing called THE APOCRYPHA?<---- OP
Description
Apocrypha are works, usually written, of unknown authorship or of doubtful origin. Biblical apocrypha is a set of texts included in the Latin Vulgate and Septuagint but not in the Hebrew Bible. While Catholic tradition considers some of these texts to be deuterocanonical, Protestants consider them apocryphal. Wikipedia
What to CONSIDER?
God Finds Grace in Moses.
God Appoints Moses to Receive Gods Law.
God Writes on stone Tablets.
Moses Breakes the stone Tablets.
God directs Moses to Write on stone Tablets.
God Directs Moses to Give the Laws to the People.
The People AGREE to Obey the Laws.
God Appoints Aaron High Priest.
God directs Aaron to Write the Curse Laws.
CONSIDER the bit by bit evolvement of METHOD;
SPEAKER, WRITER, RECORDER.
Moses.......Scribes....Priests
Not much different Today;
Speaker....Speaks
Writer.......Writes as Speaker Speaks
Recorder....Complies Official Record
SPEAKER, WRITER, RECORDER
Politician...Secretary.....official record
Advocate...Staff...........Staff
Preacher....Secretary.....Staff
Teacher.....Government..Government
Authority...Parent/Employer....Parent/Staff
Etc............
In the Beginning....
Men were communicating with WRITING, pictures, drawings, sketches....
BEFORE, God Wrote on Tablets of Stone.
And BEFORE, God Directed Moses to Write. And BEFORE Aaron was Directed to Write.
And BEFORE God Appointed Particular "TRIBAL" (ISRAEL) Scribes and Recorders Were Appointed
TO; Write/ Inscribe/Record/Hide the Recordings;
AND rehearse the Inscriptions IN THE EARS of the next Generation of "ISRAEL".
CONSIDER:
Writings, Scribes, Recorders....Were NOT a new phenomen.
What WAS NEW....IS Specific Writings, Scribes, Recordings....Were Directed TO Specifically "ISRAEL"....Gods People.
BY the Authority and Approval of God Himself.
CONSIDER:
Writings, Scribes, Recorders...WERE COMMON
Among kings, rulers, monarchs, etc.
CONSIDER:
Gods Direction was to TRIBES of ISRAEL...
Point being;
Certainly there would be Writings, Scribes, Recorders, reporting the news of the day....
(Concering the Government, the people)...
Which at times most certainly DID include mention of the Tribes of Israel.....
However, nothing proclaims their WRITINGS, should be INCLUDED in the Books which God Directed to be Established.
Glory to God,
Taken
