OT Canon are those books written by a prophet or during the time of a prophet. It's a simple concept really.

First off, how do you know the authorship and time frame of each of the OT books? You argue as if you have absolute knowledge, when I don't think anybody knows for sure the authorship of all the books.

Second, what is a "prophet?" Isn't it someone who speaks for God, delivers God's message to the world?

Then your argument is circular and self-defeating. If the authors of what you call the "Apocrypha" were truly inspired, then they were "prophets" and they obviously then lived during the "time of a prophet." It's tautological.

I'll respond to #411 later. I have my last block exam tomarrow and I'll be studying until then. So it will be some time tommarow afternoon hopefully. :-)
