apocrypha = hard to understand stuff. The name itself implies quite a lot: away from hidden. And those who stand to gain from orthodoxy, be they religious or scientific, have run with the word and reimagined its application. Books/scrolls of unknonwn, doubtful origin.
You really want to put such a label on those books, intentionally hidden, while the bible itself is of the same type of origin?
King Johosiah: The priests find in some recess of the temple the books of Moses ....Neat! If you could appreciate the gravity of that story .... a lot that we have witnessed and will witnesses falls into place.
And Sola Scritura advocates cannot get around one simple item: Nicea and the meeting that took place there in 325 AD.
Sometimes it is difficult to accept, that the world is a little different than we were lead to belief.
