Do the Apocryphal Writings address the sovereignty of God or does it address man as free will agent deciding their own fate?

Originally posted by Joel on the "Evangelical Free Church of America" blog: Greg, I appreciated your comments and candid insight. Revisions and changes should always be performed but with a delicate hand. Placing article one to article two is no longer giving emphasis to the doctrine of the word as being the pillar and ground of truth. We know God by the Bible. I understand that various philosophical approaches can be used: Ontological, teleological, cosmological, etc to argue God's existence. The practicality of Sys. Theo has provided this understanding of God. But in the end, the church must always go back to the Bible to defend our understanding of God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Also, as a way of recommedation. I think we should add 66 books denoting what we actually believe. Since, many Protestant denominations are denying inerrancy, what books do we believe to be true. As well, as the current trend to push the Book of Judas and other deutercanonical writings. Praying for you Greg. posted by Joel Badal on April 20, 2006 07:37 AM http://blogs.efca.org/sof/2006/02/dialogue/ In comparing your post opening this thread and the quotation above, it seems you use Apocryphal and DeuteroCanonicall interchangeably. This is not proper as there are distinct differences between the two. Comparing the Sacred DeuteroCanonical works of the Holy Bible to the Apocryphal Gnostic ‘Gospel of Judas’ is most improper. I am unsure if you are simply unaware of the differences or are being disingenuous (although, considering your background and education, I suspect the later). Please clarify your position on this matter and then perhaps the discussion can proceed. ~Isaac

No I am not in favor of the Gospel of Judas. It considered a false book.
I would see the Apocryphal and Deutercanonical as essentially the same. These books were added books to the canon at the Council of Trent.
I know I am going hear about this.
Protestant Evangelicalism only accepts the 66 books were ratified by the church councils. Also you need to look at the Jewish authorities concerning the OT

Naturally, the topic for discussion is the sovereignty of God in the Deutercanonical or Aprocryphal writings.
Ready for the open discussion.

Joel Go right agead, We await your observations and questions. This is a bright and alert group. We are all eager to read what you have. BTW I have a cousin who with his family lived in Ecuador most of his adult life. He was a Wycliffe translator. So I'm familiar with the kind of work you do. CDL
