What Ginger quoted is not part of MY Bible. It's nowhere between Genesis 1:1 and Revelation 22:21.

On another note : I think it wise not to make a doctrine based on 1 text...

Our Heavenly Father repeats Himself quite offened when His desire is to get a point across like a parent who repeatedly instructs a child not to cross the street without looking both ways...

Also, we must consider Christ, if our prayers saved those who refused Christ in life, then what is the point of His death and resurrection

I have a Bible in storage now perhaps it is Dakes or Drakes that had a list of why Maccabees and other books were not included in the Protestant Bible... Hope someone out there has the list...

Boanerges

God does not contradict Himself. Introducing these spurious works interjects contradiction and error. They also interject witchcraft .
An example of error would be Antiochus Epiphanes is made to die three different deaths in as many different places
An example of witchcraft would be
Tobit 6:5-8, If the Devil, or an evil spirit troubles anyone, they can be driven away by making a smoke of the heart, liver, and gall of a fish...and the Devil will smell it, and flee away, and never come again anymore.


Not even all of the founders of your church accepted them as cannon:

"As the Church reads the books of Judith and Tobit and Maccabees but does not receive them among the canonical Scriptures, so also it reads Wisdom and Ecclesiasticus for the edification of the people, not for the authoritative confirmation of doctrine." Jerome
Jerome's preface to the books of Solomon

These documants are sadly the origins of many anti-biblical doctrines.
