I think stuartcr was talking about the Deuterocanonical books, marshmallow.

Stuart, yes, the Church includes all the books listed by the Synod of Hippo as canon in 393 AD. Many of the Church Fathers quoted from these books in their writing, applying to them authority. It was not until the Protestant movement came along that these books were removed from the Bible - Christians for 1500 years accepted them.

Thanks for the info, I’m not familiar enough with the bible to know the differences, but I had heard there was a difference, and was wondering. In a nutshell, what are the differences, if it’s not too involved.
