By the LORD in Heaven, I'm GLAD I NEVER have to take this class again! It's pretty interesting but some of the people in the are rocks. And I don't mean in the good ways, like "hard as a rock." I mean in the "dumb as a." Cheese and Crackers People! The following is a question and response panel from the class:
The ApocryphaResearch the Apocrypha. Explain what it includes and how it relates to the customs of Judaism and Christianity. Cite an online resource with a hyperlink to support your discussion (include the “http://” in the web address).
I was raised Catholic and have some what of an understanding of there ways, customs and way of thinking. I don’t know if you have heard the expression of once a Catholic always a Catholic. I am sure that some where in their books they have my name written confirming that I belong to them. It has been over 20 years since I have stepped into a Catholic Church or even attended a Mass. Now in their eye’s I am still a Catholic, just not a very good one! I said all that to day this, I believe that God whom created Heaven and Earth is more than capable to influence the creations of His written word. In other words if God meant for it to be part of the Bible then He would of put it there. The Catholic Church still show me as a member of there perish close to where I grew up yet that does not mean it is true! I had a conversation with a friend last night and I spoke to him about being part of the Body not just a covering. When you are part of the Body you can’t just be discarded. I mean something has to really be wrong in order to even consider an amputation. When you are a part of the body you are connected. When you are a covering well it just does not make a difference. I have in my closet a shirt that I will never wear again and though I may have worn it once it is still not or will it ever be part of the Body. To me the Apocrypha is just like and old pair of undies that have lost there elasticity. I mean the last little fruit of the loom guy is hanging on for life. In a case like this we have understand that they may have been good at one time but now it is best to just throw them away.

As a good side note though, I got a 96% on the mid-term
