I have a question for you: do the Deuterocanonical / Apocryphal books belong in the Bible? And who gets to decide?
My understanding is that they are OT books and not recognized as Scripture by the Jews.
Therefore, they would not qualify as Scripture.
Who get s to decide? Well, anyone can add any books they want to the Bible, but that doesn't make them Scripture in the classic sense.
Did the JEWS consider them to be Scripture?
Surely writings OLDER than Jesus must be looked at with special eyes.
