"Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear."
-- Thomas Jefferson

All the books of the Bible were written by humans, some perhaps well-intentioned, some perhaps not.

All the people in modern times arguing about the divinity or truth of various parts of the Bible are also humans, some perhaps well-intentioned, some perhaps not.

Perhaps God is amused; more likely he is disgusted and disappointed.

“Reasons why the Apocrypha does not belong in the Bible...”

Even though educated Christendom included them for over a thousand years!

Reason 1 - Luther said so.

Reason 2 - Calvin said so.

Reason 3 - Zwingli said so.

Heretics HATE the TRUTH.

the bible used by the early church was the greek translation that included these books. You are essentially saying they were wrong.

In 90 AD, after the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple, some Rabbis decided to codify their books, and dropped all the books of more recent origin (less than 300 years, not due to doctrinal differences).
