Tobit, Judith, 1 Maccabees, 2 Maccabees, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus, Baruch …Some later LXX editions also add 1 Esdras, Odes, 3&4 Maccabees, etc

You need to pause and think about what you are posting, you are clearly way off your script and if you remember that I posted the statement accompanying the apocryphal book listing in the Geneva Bible - they were not to be considered canon. So what is your point here?

You give credence to the LXX, and cite it as not having Enoch in it, but my point is that it had books in it which you have rejected -which the Council of nicea accepted, as did the Geneva Protestants and Early King James translators.
You claimed that what was accepted was what was considered. I pointed out that the apochypha was accepted -you go back on your own statement.
I also pointed out that Enoch 1/ 1 Enoch -what is in the Dead Sea Scrolls and is the same as the Ethiopian Enoch- was accepted by early Church writers, as it also was by Jesus, his womb brothers James and Jude, Peter, John, Paul, the author of Hebrews, and Barnabas, Tertullien, and many others, and kept as Canon in the Ethiopian coptic Church.

You go back on your own words and catch yourself in a falsehood by claiming acceptence by the Jews and early Believers made books “canon”, but you reject what was accepted by the earliest, after all.
