Of course it did...And Jesus acknowledged it did...
(The formal Jewish condemnation of the OT deuterocanon took place after AD 135.)
So what??? They finally got together and agreed that your extra books didn't belong in there...
The closest thing to it would be the books that were translated in the Septuagint (which is the Greek Bible the NT authors quote, often word for word), which included the OT deuterocanon.
There is no evidence that the Septuatgint WAS NOT invented by Origen, or more probably Eusibius centuries later...
Okay, this is officially the kookiest thing I've read this month.
There's no evidence that your "Authorized Version" wasn't left here by Martians, either.
Tell me, if Origen invented the Septuagint, did he also invent a time machine to go back 200 years and include portions of the Septuagint with the Dead Sea Scrolls?

Have you ever seen these two verses of Scripture?
“And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch.” John 10:22-23
What is “the feast of the dedication?” The answer is in I Maccabees 4:56-59: “And they kept the dedication of the altar eight days, and they offered holocausts with joy, and sacrifices of salvation, and of praise. And they adorned the front of the temple with crowns of gold, and escutcheons, and they renewed the gates, and the chambers, and hanged doors upon them. And there was exceeding great joy among the people, and the reproach of the Gentiles was turned away. And Judas, and his brethren, and all the church of Israel decreed, that the day of the dedication of the altar should be kept in its season from year to year for eight days, from the five and twentieth day of the month of Casleu, with joy and gladness.”
It is evident that Jesus had read these books, and like all other Jews, kept the Feast of Dedication (Hannukah).

Then they must have been really long lived since it was written 2 centuries before Christ.
