@sapphael: The use of the phrase “fanfic” at the beginning is also total clickbait/ragebait, sorry guys. To be fanfic, something would have to be written subsequent to the original text, & a lot of apocrypha were written pretty close in time or even contemporary with the canon Bible. Someday I’m going to get into the Gospel of Mary Magdalene stuff but I’ll need time to really get into it. *I edited this vid and reposted because I said that most protestant bibles have 80 books which is COMPLETELY wrong lol, I was thinking of the original KJV. #History #bible #medieval #religion #educational
I’ve never heard about Mary’s perpetual virginity I grew up in a denomination that accepted the idea that Jesus had half siblings who were fathered by Joseph

Is Dante's Inferno ever included in the Apocrypha? It was certainly influential

small correction, and this is just me splitting hairs
it's Deuterocanon, not Deuteronomy. that's a separate book in the Old testament.

I still just reel at the fact that a small group of men deem the knowledge in those 'books' is too much for the common person to understand. it's insulting

I remember when explaining to a friend what is apocryphal (because of an artwork in byzantin art about Marie and Joseph) and when he struggle I was like '' it's kinda like the Bible is the canon story, and the aprocryphal it's a spin-off but like a very popular spin-off into the ''fandom''
apocryphal about Marie have a looot of influence, and kinda the one About Joseph too because really I was shocked when the art History teacher was like '' no Joseph the Joseph of Marie, well he's already dead, so when Jésus die, Marie is alone'' I was like '' WHAT YOU MEAN HE'S DEAD'' and tried not to cry because it weirdly hit very hard

I understand you’re factually correct, but no one can tell me the Infancy Gospel of Thomas isn’t cannon lore. Jesus as a child was a ruthless m*rderer? Yes but it’s fine, he’s resurrected them, chill.

I wonder how likely someone’s religious fanfic today could be accepted as possible truth if they were able to make sure it would be preserved for several centuries and discovered later. I can think of several people who would try. 😬

Theo Albert :
To be extra confusing, the bits that Catholics have that us Protestants don’t (usually) is often referred to as The Apocrypha and the rest as apocryphal. But then Catholics refer to those books as the deuterocanonical books and the rest as apocrypha/apocryphal ones (which I gotta admit is clearer lol)
A lot of modern churches use the revised common lectionary, which is good (my church also uses it), but it does leave stuff out so I wonder if you could make an argument for them being apocryphal too in a way
