Why was apocrypha was not included in King James Bible?

------------------------ The apocryphal books of the Bible were originally included in the Christian Old Testament when the Christian leaders did not really know which books the Jews regarded as sacred. Eventually it was discovered that these books were among those not included in the Jewish canon. The apocrypha were included in the original 1611 version of the King James Bible, but were removed from the 1666 version. Even the Catholic Church regards these books as 'Deuterocanonical', or second-canon. Although regarded as inspired, they are not inspired in the same way as the principal books of the Old Testament.

What is the difference between the Catholic Edition of the Bible and the New Living Tradition?

Roman Catholic AnswerTechnically, there is no "Catholic Edition" of the Bible. The Holy Bible used by the Christian Church has always included the entire Old Testament from the Septuagint, which was the translation of the Bible that Jesus and the Apostles used. This is the Bible that was translated into Latin and used by the Church up until recently. Somewhere in the first three centuries after Christ, the Jews rejected what is called the Deuterocanonical books because they supported obvious Christian beliefs, even though they had been translated by the Jews into Greek in the Septuagint, and used by them for centuries. Many centuries later Martin Luther separated from the Christian Church, started his own Church, and composed his own Bible. In doing this he threw out the Deuterocanonical books, he also attempted to throw out the Epistle of James as it - quite explicitly - rejects his founding principle "salvation by faith alone". The words "salvation by faith alone" are only found in the Bible once, and that is in the Epistle of James, where they are preceded by the words, NOT BY". The New Living Tradition is a re-translation of the mutilated Bible that Martin Luther came up with. The "Apocrypha" has nothing to do with the Deuterocanonical books of the Old Testament, the Apocrypha are books that were erroneously held to be inspired and included in the canon of Scripture but were rejected by the Church. These are entirely different books from the Deuterocanonical books which are inspired and are part of the canon of Scripture, they just aren't included in protestant Bibles.
