  • Richard in Christ on Psalms 138 - 3 years ago
    Good day my brothers and sisters,

    As many do not read the Apocrypha books, as they are not included anymore in the KJV Bible, there is much wisdom and truth in them. I just want to post a couple verses for you all I was reading the other night. I am very thankful we have access to them on this site for us to go through.



    Wisdom of Solomon 1:1-7 Love righteousness, ye that be judges of the earth: think of the Lord with a good (heart,) and in simplicity of heart seek him.

    2 For he will be found of them that tempt him not; and sheweth himself unto such as do not distrust him.

    3 For froward thoughts separate from God: and his power, when it is tried, reproveth the unwise.

    4 For into a malicious soul wisdom shall not enter; nor dwell in the body that is subject unto sin.

    5 For the Holy Spirit of discipline will flee deceit, and remove from thoughts that are without understanding, and will not abide when unrighteousness cometh in.

    6 For wisdom is a loving spirit; and will not acquit a blasphemer of his words: for God is witness of his reins, and a true beholder of his heart, and a hearer of his tongue.

    7 For the Spirit of the Lord filleth the world: and that which containeth all things hath knowledge of the voice.

    Wisdom of Solomon 1:11 Therefore beware of murmuring, which is unprofitable; and refrain your tongue from backbiting: for there is no word so secret, that shall go for nought: and the mouth that belieth slayeth the soul.

    Wisdom of Solomon 1:22-24 As for the mysteries of God, they knew them not: neither hoped they for the wages of righteousness, nor discerned a reward for blameless souls.

    23 For God created man to be immortal, and made him to be an image of his own eternity.

    24 Nevertheless through envy of the devil came death into the world: and they that do hold of his side do find it.

    Richard,

    Yes, there's truth in them but also stuff that's not so true. We could include other classical writings by Greek and Roman philosophers that contain truth but all these, including the Apocrypha were never considered by either Jewish rabbis or early church fathers as Inspired by God according to the instructions given by God to Moses.

    "And the LORD said unto [Moses], They have well spoken that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him."Deu 18:17-22
