1 Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you concerning the Apocrypha--There are many things contained therein that are true, and it is mostly translated correctly;

2 There are many things contained therein that are not true, which are interpolations by the hands of men.

3 Verily, I say unto you, that it is not needful that the Apocrypha should be translated.

4 Therefore, whoso readeth it, let him understand, for the Spirit manifesteth truth;

5 And whoso is enlightened by the Spirit shall obtain benefit therefrom;

6 And whoso receiveth not by the Spirit, cannot be benefited. Therefore it is not needful that it should be translated. Amen.


Basically what I read here is that these books are full of incorrect interpretations. And, if they were gone through with a fine toothed spiritual comb, the truths they contain would not help people unless they were already possessed of the spiritual skills necessary to discern the truths for themselves. If anyone wants to study them together, I propose a form of study schedule. Pick a book, and we will all read it at the same time.
