If you wish to follow the Hebrew canon, that is your choice. I happen to be Christian and read the Christian Canon.

Hmmm...well what was good enough for Peter, Paul and John is good enough for me. :O)

In following this discussion about the apocrypha it's stunning how historical fact is ignored. I believe St. Athansius was the first to use his office as Bishop to clearly state for churches under his direction what the books of the Canon were. He followed in the long line of theologians and the long held practices of individual churches. IOW, he just made clear what was already accepted truth. Athansius clearly stated to his churches that the apocrypha was good for devotional and historic reading, but was not as Canonical authorities.
