Exclusion of the Apocrypha

If your concepts on the various spiritual manifestations is true than why isn't any of this mentioned in the Bible?  The Church, nor any of the many denominations, certainly don't teach this view point.

Well, it's like I said before, from the very beginning this knowledge was conveyed as solid food, fed only to those who possessed the spiritual discernment to understand what they were being told.  In other words, the solid food was only shared within the inner circle and not expressed to the outer circle, the main congregation, that was considered as babes in Christ, capable of only digesting milk.  It is important to understand the vast differences between what is referred to as sold food in comparison to milk.  The Church in general cannot teach something of a higher wisdom if they lack the keys to spiritual understanding.  Or, which is a high possibility, they are aware of the higher knowledge but deliberately do not include this knowledge in their main doctrine of accepted teaching.

That the Church once possessed a higher knowledge not shared with its parishioners can hardly be disputed.  Prior to the King James Version of the Old and New Testament the Books of the Apocrypha  was a part of the Canon.  In the earlier versions of the KJV was an introductory footnote explaining why these books were no longer included, considered being a work not for the average person, but to be read by priests only.  I have my reservations whether this introduction footnote is still included in modern printouts of the KJV.  Now, were you to obtain the Jerusalem Bible, or other versions, you'll be surprised to discover that the Books of the Apocrypha are still included.  With this alone we can see that some attempt has been made to control what we should or should not read.

The Books of the Apocrypha make for interesting reading.  The Book of Tobit, for instance, is one of my favorite as it reveals how angels can, and do, intervene in the affairs of man under special circumstances.  I would sooner prefer that what I choose to read is left for me to decide, not to be decided for me by old men seated around a table whose motives may be questionable.

Regardless of the perhaps hidden secrets that may lay within the Apocrypha, these books barely scratch the surface of the wisdom guarded by the inner circle.  As I have before stated, the New Testament, especially the writings attributed to St. Paul, consistently mention, but never really reveal what he regarded as the Sacred Secrets, or Sacred Mysteries, hidden deep within the path of Christianity.  For it is written in the Old Testament…"for there is a path the vulture has not seen, or the young lion has trodden upon."

Can you understand this mystery?
