have more authority than the Bible. They e,·en allowed people like the pagan, Roman Emperor Constantine to preside o,·er their councils, and approve their decisions - E11qdopedia Bn/a,mica, 15th Edition, 1984, Vol. 4,pages 508-509.
The Catholics claim that we (Protestants) are missing parts of the true Bible. What they are referring to is the ".:\pocrypha,,_ The Apocrypha is a collection of uninspired books that they adopted and pronounced sacred at the Co1111cil of Trent in 1546. The Roman Catholic religion pronounced the apocryphal books Tobit,
Judith, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus, Baruch, First and Second Maccabees, plus some additions to Esther and Daniel to be sacred and equal to the 66 books that we have.
Here are a few reasons why we don't believe in them and why these books are not in the Bible:
► Jesus is not the only atonement for sin
Tobit 12:8-9, 17: It is betterto give alms than to !try up gold;far alms doth deliverfrom death, and shallpu,:ge awcry all sin.
► They teach superstition and magic:
Tobit 6:5-8: Ifthe devil, oran evil spirit troubles atryone, thry can be
driven awqy by making a smoke ofthe heart, liver, and gall efa fish...and the devil will smell it, andflee awqy, and never come again
al!Jmore.
