What philosophical problems do groups who reject the Apocrypha have with it?
**Please note, let's distinguish between philosophical problems and historical or canonical problems.**

Perhaps the main philosophical problem is directly related to the history of how the Bible was canonized, though. Some things "didn't make it in."

I can't think of any philosophical problems with the Apocrypha itself, per se, although I don't accept it as inspired.

the Catholic church is often accused of including them to support soem of their views.
I am trying to figure out "what views."
