Apocrypha: should some or all, still be included in the modern Bible?

What are they? it is said they were contained in the original Tanakh. Stories told in Hebrew, but later removed from the first printed Tanakh, by Jewish rabbis, 1000 years BC.

    FIRST PART OF THE APOCRYPHA: These stories from Daniel, namely, the Song of the Three, Susanna, and Bel and the Dragon; and extensive portions of the Book of Esther.

    The four stories do not contain any contradictions, against the rest of the Bible. They do not really add much either. But very interesting stories no doubt.

    THis statement below is just one of several explainations about the apocryphal books and VERY contradictory to SEVERAL other versions of its originations or beginnings.

    The Apocrypha was kept as part of virtually every Bible scribed or printed from these early days until just 120 years ago, in the mid-1880’s, when it was removed from Protestant Bibles. Up until the 1880’s, however, every Christian… Protestant or otherwise… embraced the Apocrypha as part of the Bible, though debate continued as to whether or not the Apocrypha was inspired. There is no truth to the popular myth that there is something “Roman Catholic” about the Apocrypha, which stemmed from the fact that the Roman Catholics kept 12 of the 14 Apocrypha Books in their Bible, as the Protestants removed all of them. No real justification was ever given for the removal of these ancient Jewish writings from before the time of Christ, which had remained untouched and part of every Bible for nearly two thousand years.

    THis is surely to be continued.......

    *The Forgotten Books of Eden*

    "This is a popularized translation of the OT pseudepigrapha, quasi-Biblical writings which never achieved canonical status (or inclusion in any of the official Apocrypha). This isn't to say that these documents are forgeries, just that for one reason or another they were not considered part of the Biblical text by the first millenium (C.E.) compilers." by Rutherford H. Platt Jr.
