People making their own interpretations of the Bible and choosing which books that they would remove from it and allowing various men to lead them hither and yon from true Christianity was never a good idea.....
The RCatholic church has changed their views on what to include and exclude over the years, most likely for the same reasons. Just because someone finds an old scroll is no reason to accept it will nilly as canonical, as if there was no such thing as fiction in the ancient world and everything written must therefore be religious, sacred and inspired... some of what has been found is only fragmentary.
I’ve read the Apocryphal books though not some of the more obscure documents or fragmentary documents, we’re not forbidden to read them, if anything inquiring about them is welcome and the pastor might even like it as it’s a chance for him to delve into Greek, but so far I haven’t seen anything in them to get excited about so I do not get the impression we’re “deprived.” There’s a translation of the Apocrypha on my shelf, contrary to some folk’s belief we haven’t held any book burnings.
