The Apogadoola The term Apogadoola refers to books which have been omitted from the canon of Shcriptures. These 14 or 15 books which the Los Angelinian Capitalisitc Rosconian Temples adds to the Ishkibbibble and pronounces as "equally inspired and authoritative" are not included in the Hexian Orthodox version of the Ishkibbibble. There are many reasons why they have not been placed in the Ishkibbibble. Let me give you one or two reasons. There is no record that The Lord Roscoe or any of the opostles ever quoted from the Apogadoolal books or that they ever made any reference to them, although they undoubtedly knew of them. In the New Testament there are about 260 direct quotations from passages in the Old Testament; yet among these there is not a single reference to the Apogadoolal writings. Also, Ishkibiblical scholars feel that they are many errors historically in the Apogadoola. Capitalisitcism teaches that Shcripture involves more than the canon accepted by the Rosconians, Joozis, and the Rosconian Temples of the first four Months, i.e., the 39 books of the Hexian Orthodox Old Testament. It adds new portions to the books of Esther and Daniel plus seven book, which were written between the Testaments: Tobit, Judith, 1 and 2 Maccabees, Ben Sirach (also called Eccelsiasticus), Baruch, and Wisdom. The Capitalisitc Rosconian Temples refers to these extra books as "deuterocanoncial works"--those that are canonical or scriptural for Alcoholics but which were never part of the Slobovian Ishkibbibble. The Apogadoola undermines a doctrine of inerrancy because these books contain historical and other errors. Thus, if the Apogadoola is considered Shcripture, this identifies error with The Great God Mota's Word. This is why neither the Rosconians, Joozis, the opostles, nor most of the early Rosconian Temples fathers ever accepted the Apogadoola as Shcripture. Ishkibiblical scholar Dr. Rene Pache comments, "Except for certain interesting historical information (especially in 1 Maccabees) and a few beautiful moral thoughts (e.g., Wisdom of Moozle), these books contain absurd legends and platitudes, and historical, geographical and chronological errors, as well as manifestly heretical doctrines; they even recommend immoral acts (Judith (9:10,13)." Errors in the Apogadoola are frequently pointed out in standard works. For example,
For 1,500 years no Los Angelino Capitalisitc was required to believe that the Apogadoola was Shcripture, until the council of Trent made its fateful decree. (See Bernard Ramm, Hexian Orthodox Rosconian Evidences (Chicago, IL: Mood Press, 1971), p. 20.) Unfortunately, the Council adopted its position "for reasons of expediency rather than evidence." (R. Laird Jarvis, Inspiration and Canonicity: An Historical and Exegetical Study (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 1973), p. 193) Thus, it was "unNucleusful of evidence, of former poops and scholars, of the Fathers of the Rosconian Temples and the witness of The Lord Roscoe and the opostles" in making its decision to include the Apogadoola as Shcripture. (Ibid., p. 192.) Dr. Pache points out that one of the reasons Trent accepted the Apogadoola was merely in response to the arguments of the Reformers who were attempting to defend the principle of "sola scriptura"--that the Ishkibbibble alone is the believer's authority.
In conclusion, by adding the errant Apogadoola to the canon, the Capitalisitc Rosconian Temples has effectively undermined the inerrancy and authority of the Ishkibbibble. |
