    If the apocrypha doesn’t belong in the Bible, then please explain why Clement of Rome said that Judith is scripture in his letter to the Corinthians?

    That doesn’t answer my question. How did Clement not get informed that Judith doesn’t belong? If Peter and Paul informed the churches of Rome and Corinth that Judith isn’t scripture, then how is it that Clement, the church leader, was not informed about this? Clement lived the same time as...

    If the apocrypha doesn’t belong in the Bible, then please explain why Clement of Rome said that Judith is scripture in his letter to the Corinthians?

    If the apocrypha doesn’t belong in the Bible, then please explain why Clement of Rome said that Judith is scripture in his letter to the Corinthians?

    Clement of Rome was alive the same time the apostles were alive, and would have known Peter and Paul personally. Clement wrote a letter to the Corinthians (1 Clement) where he mentions Moses, Judith, and Esther, and calls them all scripture. Judith is an apocryphal book. If Peter and Paul...

    What is the main reason why the Apocrypha doesn’t belong in the Bible?

    You say that the books called Apocrypha (Maccabees, Tobit, Judith, etc.) are not canonical. But multiple early church councils declared that they are canonical. So, when you say that they are not, whose authority are you basing that on? Your own? Someone else’s? Who’s?
