Hey, merely repeating what Christians are actually professing out there as we speak. If you have an issue with that then obviously it's best to take it up with those who believe in God, Jesus and yet still reject it. I reject all three, but then I shouldn't have to remind you that should I?

I think you proved my point in that some Christians don't regard it enough to consider its usage for ceremonial purposes. And what does acknowledge in the context you're using it even supposed to mean? I
acknowledge the concept of God, doesn't mean for one second that I accept it as real or true.
Quote:The Apocrypha is accepted by the Catholic church alone I think. This is their denominational bias, which still fits in with the Nicene Creed. I don't happen to accept it, but I am together with them in our Christian faith.
Depends. If its New Testament apocrypha both Catholics and Protestants hate it with every fibre of their being.
