Hello. After reviewing with the new admin and after a lot of discussion and though, it has been decided that we are going to recognize the canon of the Bible consisting of the Old and the New Testament in the content on the wiki, and nothing outside of that. The Apocrypha does have some interesting historical insight, but unless we specifically work on every page to get it detailed in the way of how the Apocrypha doesn't lineup with the rest of Scripture as well, and by other historical determinations the Apocrypha didn't meet the criteria of being divinely inspired by God. Actually one interesting thing we discovered the Apocrypha wasn't accepted into Catholic canon until much later after original determinations and recognizing of canon. Due to this I have also marked the article "Olympias of Epirus" to be marked for deletion as it may be deleted, but it is something needing of administrative discussion. I understand you may be upset. by the decision made, but to include content from Apocrypha on a Bible wiki treats it with divinity and marking it "Bible". The Jewish also have this collection of books, but not in their canon. The only way to include it we'd have to make sure for every page that the Apocrypha content wasn't treated in a way where it wasn't considered divine. In this being a biblical-history wiki, we would like to look upon history from a canonical point of view and include and cover God's involvement in ancient history.

I wouldn't be surprised if this angers you and this wasn't a light decision to be made. We did not make the decision to make you angry but looking at a verse in Galatians 1 and its discussion of the Gospel something that was thought about, would we include this content for the approval of others or the Almighty God. Something that may be helpful for your is an extensive study looking at the Apocrypha and how it doesn't lineup with Scripture, may be of use to you if you want historical facts. I hope you understand this decision and I hope that the inclusion of the Apocrypha doesn't become the focus of your work here, but rather by glorifying God. If you have any additional questions about this please let me know.

Thanks, Superdadsuper, Biblicalapedia Administrator and Bureaucrat.
