This is interesting, TheCross. Matching the question, "What was the discharge Bible?" with your brief answer, "The first KJB they left out seven books of the Old Testament" leads to the conclusion that you are defining for the questioner what the discharge Bible is (or was). Is this it? If we're on the same page thus far, do you know why the discharge Bible was so called? It seems like such an odd name for a Bible. This is my very first exposure to the term...... You use the initials KJB -- meaning the Authorized or King James Verson (KJV)? You say in the first KJB -- the 1611 version? -- they left out seven Old Testament books. Do you have knowledge, TheCross, of (1) why they were left out -- whether by accident or design? and (2) which books were omitted. Were they books of the Jewish canon (known by Catholics as protocanonical) or of the Apocrypha (Catholic term is deuterocanonical). Of course, the Protestant Apocrypha consists of some 15 Old Testament books, which makes the number seven you mention not quite cover them..... So, if you have some fill-in information that may cover some of these little questions I've posed, please grace the forum with more facts on this rather interesting item. And. if you will, please footnote your sources. --Hank | ||||||

Aloha, Josh (roverjbh99). The two sources I used concerning the number of books in the Old Testament Apocrypha both list 15, as appeared in my question, not 18, as you say. My sources are: Holman Bible Dictionary and Harper's Bible Dictionary. I don't know what source you used to arrive at the number of 18 because you did not list any...... It might not be a bad idea, when refuting factual material contained in a post, to cite reliable sources as bases for refutation...... By the way, you really didn't answer the questions that were directed to THECROSS. An alternate method that can be employed on the forum when one is not answering the question but adding a comment about it, is to post a separate note unattached to the question. Hence, the question is undisturbed. This is merely a suggestion from a mainlander :-). --Hank | ||||||

Greetings Hank! I think the number of books in the Old Testament Apocrypha has changed over the years. The most current list I was able to find lists 19 books (with two books being duplicates under different names). Thus, there would be a current total of 18 books in the OT Apocrypha. These can all be accessed at: http://wesley.nnu.edu/noncanon/apocrypha.htm Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim, thanks. This old dog learns new tricks! I was blissfully unaware that the O.T. Acropypha is still in the process of being re-assessed or re-counted or whatever it may be. Let's hope "they" don't start fooling around with the Canon! --Hank | ||||||
