MoreCoffee said:So, if the deuterocanonical books are consistent with Christian faith and are also regarded as canonical by the ancient churches why all the fuss about them in protestant circles?
Because they aren't.
What they "aren't" is something retained by the Baptist. They had no issue with the other 66 they borrowed but as it was given to them by other protestants who removed them they don't know what they're missing.Because they aren't.

At last! An opportunity to use my great powers of alliteration and describe you as a Kompletely Klueless Kiwi. KewlBecause they aren't.
No offense but if you believe in the Virgin Mary being your intercessor then that tells me everything I need to know about why you think more books should be added to the Bible (or not removed).

I don't recall that subject arising from any of the texts in question.
Hmmm? Maybe blessedj01 is talking out of his hat?

I admit it's probably not completely relevant, but speaks volumes to me about the thought process of someone who rejects the Protestant view of canon. i know we all hold different beliefs but I think it's fair to say we're at opposite ends of the spectrum.
There's nothing more to add. You're all dangerously dicing with the false belief that there's some conspiracy at play. All this leads to the false assumption that non canonical books were suppressed because of politics.
We're Protestants, literally. Not "Protestants".
My point is that I wouldn't be quick to take lessons in theological or canonical accuracy from anyone who venerates Mary,
Now now now, let's not get into ad hominem nonsense.
