Yes, I know that, and it's okay. We all have different beliefs and there is BEAUTY AND HARMONY IN DIVERSITY.
I only wish more Christians would realize that.

The deuterocanonicals are not located after Revelation. They are dispersed towards the end of the "Old Testament" [sic]. They were written before the life of Jesus. In the Catholic Bible they are:
- Tobit
- Judith
- Wisdom (Wisdom of Solomon)
- Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)
- Baruch
- 1 Maccabees
- 2 Maccabees
- Additions to Esther
- Additions to Daniel (The Prayer of Azariah and Song of the Three Holy Children, Susanna, Bel and the Dragon)
As I mentioned in my earlier post to you, the Orthodox Bible has even more books, and the Ethiopian church has the most books of anyone.
As you know, these Jewish writings are not part of the Jewish canon, but that doesn't mean Jews can't have an appreciation for them. For example, the Maccabees record the Chanukah story. My personal favorite is the stories of Susanna and Bel and the Dragon in the longer version of Daniel, because they depict Daniel as a kind of Super Sleuth who solves crimes, and I love a good mystery story.

I can appreciate that even though I view the New Testament much differently of course.
Aren’t those books the Apocrypha?The deuterocanonicals are not located after Revelation. They are dispersed towards the end of the "Old Testament" [sic]. They were written before the life of Jesus. In the Catholic Bible they are:

Depends on whom you ask. If you talk to a Protestant, they are called the Apocrypha. If you talk to a Catholic, they are called the Deuterocanonicals. The word apocrypha actually means "secret" or "hidden," so I'm not sure why Protestants use that word, since there is nothing secret about the books. The word deuterocanon means "second rule/standard" IOW second canon. That seems a more sensible label to me, although it's not all that big a deal.
