Best Answer

Actually there were 3 councils of Ephesus over the years 431 to 475, and the two later councils seemed to spend their time rejecting the deliberations of the earlier councils and anathematised their members.

And the dictionary definition of the word Apocrypha, is: "Biblical or related writings not forming part of the accepted canon of Scripture"

So the council, on its own volition, decided to reject or accept the written word of God.

The Bible, or 'the Canon of Scripture' is The Word of God, so it is God's prerogative to accept it.
