Please, let's not be silly. Title pages, table of content, index, glossary and maps are not confused with Scripture, given by inspiration of God, and therefore is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16). What has been added by the Roman cult and eastern orthodox cult are significant and troubling. The Roman cult has added at least seven books (Judith, Tobit, 1 & 2 Maccabees, Wisdom, Baruch, and Ecclesiasticus), and the Orthodox don't even agree among themselves! The Eastern Orthodox add more books than the papists (3 Esdras, 4 Esdras, 3 Maccabees, 4 Maccabees, and Psalm 151). The Syrian Orthodox include more still (2 Baruch with the Letter of Baruch, Psalms 152-155l). The Ethiopian Orthodox have even weirder books (including Ser`atä Seyon, Te'ezaz,Gessew, Abtelis, I Covenant, II Covenant, Ethiopic Clement, and Ethiopic Didascaliain)!
These aren't maps, dear! These are crazy scribbling done by mad men throughout time, convinced by deluded, retarded desert and cave dwellers to have been Scriptural! These are things they teach their children is the Word of God, and it's not. It is the word of Satan, pulling each and every little child down into the depths of Hell! So please, while you are here at Landover Baptist Forum, please do not contribute to the lie that suggests the catholic and orthodox Bibles are Christian. They are NOT.
