>> many of the same fathers who reject the “apocrypha” attest to the dueterocanonicals as scripture.<<

Yeah, sure they are. And scripture contradicts itself right?

“Whoso honoureth his father maketh an atonement for his sins...Water will quench a flaming fire; and alms maketh an atonement for sin” (Sirach 3:3, 30).

Leviticus 17:11 “For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.”

Sirach teaches justification by the works of the law (honouring parents, etc.)

“A man is not justified by the works of the law” (Galatians 2:16).

I could go on and on. Those who believe the apocrypha or even the dueterocanonicals are scripture are in horrible error.

Oh, brother. There are quite many *apparent* contradictions in the Protestant canon, too. For instance: who are Jesus’ paternal grandparents? James, Revelations, and even the gospels also oppose your reading of Galatians, let alone the fact that Sirach is Old Testament, like all those laws of Moses which oppose Galatians.
