they were part of the Greek Jewish bible that was accepted by most of the Christian and Jewish world at the time of Christ. Paul quoted from this translation when he preached to the Gentiles. Here is a Protestant discussion of the controversy: link

Of course, this thread is posted by someone who posts daily thread about the "evil catholics deliberately changed everything because...well, because they were evil and only those of us in our small tiny church know the TRUTH.

They were part of the Septuagint, which was a GREEK translation of the Old Testament books IN ADDITION TO fifteen other books that were not in the canon of the Old Testament.

No they weren't...The Jewish Orthodox would never have allowed to have books added to their bible...Jesus confirms what the O.T. was...The Psalms, the Law and the Prophets...Your extra Catholic books were not included by Jesus...
