CONTENDER MINISTRIES MAIL BAG: You asked a second question in your email, which you did not answer: 'The more complex objection is whether these books are in fact scripture and who has the athority to 'add' them.' Like the Hebrew scribes (and initially, St. Jerome), I contend that as God is not the author of error, we can not rely upon these books as being divinely inspired, and they should therefore have not been canonized. May God bless you.
