Hi Tnc4307. From my own study on this subject, I don't accept either the Old Testament or the New Testament Apocrypha as worthy of canonization. Some are glaringly in error - others not so much. Of course, there are truths in each of them, just as one could find truths in the books of the other religions. But when put all together, and when compared to the Holy Word given to us, they all fall short - some very far short. Even if there are only a couple of glaring errors in them (e.g. praying for the dead or the need for self-effort to gain salvation), that is sufficient for me to stay well clear of them, as texts that are dubious & unreliable at best. By all means, read & gain information from them, but keep your spirit guarded at all times, resting only on God's complete Word given to us. Blessings.
