You seem to have missed my point. As a Protestant, you made an appeal to history and to geography as a way to claim the Apocrypha are not inerrant sacred scriptures. But history and geography are extra-scriptural authorities, which seems to be in violation of the doctrine of Sola Scriptura.

Where in Scripture does it say which Books should be excluded or included in the canon?

"Apocrypha" means "hidden things." Why are the protestants trying to hide seven books of the Bible?

“Apocrypha is only considered Canon by the catholic church.”

Are you sure about that? I thought the Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox have even more.

Rubbish (at least if you use “catholic” the way most Westerners do to mean folks in communion with the Pope of Rome — of course if you’re using it another way, say in the sense St. Ignatius gave it when he first used the phrase “ekklesia katholike”, it’s not clear why you’d want to be in disagreement). See narses’s post #29 — copied verbatim from one of my posts to another thread — below.
