“It wasn’t a direct word-for-word quote, but that is rich you scolding me for cutting (copying) and pasting - as if there is anything wrong with that...”
WITHOUT ATTRIBUTION. Not surprisingly you left that part out - as you leave out so many necessary details that completely change the sense of what someone said. I said: “So clearly you’re cutting and pasting and passing it off as your own. Lovely.”
“I have read these books and I do not hear the voice of God through them like the others of the Bible.”
Oh, so divinely inspired actually just boils down to your feelings. Well, gee, of course it does. You’re a Protestant. It has nothing to do with God Himself, or His Church, or what early Christians had and used and believed. Nope. It’s all about what you “hear” with you’re incredibly flawed understanding of reality. Yeah, that’s a reliable measure.
“The Masoretic Text does not contain those books.”
And it also contains not a single book of the New Testament. So?

“Those books don’t teach the doctrines Catholics presume they do...”
Oh? Please state all the “doctrines” we “presume” they teach. While you’re at it do the same thing for the Books of Ruth and Esther. When you flounder on that - which you especially will on Ruth and Esther - what will then be obvious?
” - which was why the Reformation spurred the Council of Trent to dogmatically define them as canonical. There is a higher standard for what is God-breathed Scripture and no man has the authority to tell God what he will or will not accept and obey when God has spoken. His voice is NOT there in those books. It just is not.”
Your opinion is irrelevant to God. Some, with your way of looking at things, have decided (based solely on their feelings just like you admitted) that the Book of Revelation is not inspired. All you’re doing is proving that Protestantism is nothing but a joke. It all rests on the feelings of people who can decide whatever they want about scripture and still insist they believe in sola scriptura - even when it comes to denying the inspiration of entire books of the Bible.
Among the generally insulting tone, wherein you are also attributing motive (knock that off!) is the highly flawed last sentence.
There are multiple "early Christian" witnesses (must I list them all?) against the Apocryphal writing you quoted from, as being worthy of full, indiscriminate inclusion with the rest of OT.
There are many later witnesses, too, from among the Latin Church. What now? Throw Jerome under the bus, again, and with him sweep away Cardinal Catejan too?
