[Cronos]

Again, my contention remains that there was no legitimate reason for the Jewish religious leaders to exclude the Deuterocanonical/Apocryphal books from their recognized writings from God.

There was a legitimate reason to do so after the destruction of the second temple - in fact two legitimate reasons:

1. The temple was destroyed, the focal point of Judaism was destroyed. To survive it needed to rethink its structure
2. Christianity had moved from being an annoying sect to being majority gentile and was usurping a lot of Judaism's role and very clearly many Jews were becoming Christians as the fuzzy division line became clearer

To survive it was necessary to expunge works that would give the heretics (Christians) justification.

“To survive it was necessary to expunge works that would give the heretics (Christians) justification.”

Maccabees and other books are uninspired because they contradict Scripture with false teaching.

As to your claim, which is a separate historical issue that assumes much... why don’t you just cut to the chase, post whatever evidence you believe is valid concerning your claim, and we will evaluate it.

I seriously doubt there was any concern of “surviving”, since God has a covenant with Israel He will keep.
