Why is maccabees bible bad?

Throughout history, there has been uncertainty as to which texts should be included in the "holy scriptures." The Books of The Maccabees are part of a group of fourteen books called the Apocrypha which, when included, are considered part of the Old Testament. These books, however, while uncluded by some, are rejected by others because they are not believed to be holy (i.e. they are "bad"). Nevertheless, the Apocrypha, like the rest of the biblical books, comprises primary sources and is valuable to historical research.


What are the non Bible proofs that the Bible is God revelation holy book?

Answer 1There is not and can never be an objective proof that the Bible is (or is not) God's revelation. Certain people believe it is God's revelation, that is their opinion, their "faith" and they tend to be very protective of their viewpoint.Other people who believe in God do not hold the Bible in such esteem and believe that the stories help one build a relationship with God but they are not "revelation". This is perhaps the more balanced view in that it recognizes that the Bible was put together by the "Council of Nicaea" (see related link below) in AD 325 during which many books of the Bible were left out - "The Apocrypha" (see related link below).Still other people follow other faiths or do not believe in God at all and to them the Bible is just another religious book.Answer 2Qur'an; Muslims God holy book; states that the Bible is God holy book revealed by God to Jesus (peace be upon him).
