: I'm for it. ~[[User:Darth Stabro|Darth Stabro]] <sub>~[[User_talk:Darth Stabro|(Talk)]]</sub> 09:40, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
: It's a good thought that inevitably is going to come up from time to time, but, paradoxically I both disagree and agree to a certain extent. There already is some information about the Deuterocanon in the Bible section. You can edit it and add information if you like. The major difficulty is that different denominations have different books that they consider Scripture. Protestants have 66 books they consider Scripture; the Roman Catholic Church has around 10 additional books included in Scripture; the Eastern Orthodox Church has around 15 additional books in its Scripture and the Ethiopian Orthodox Church has around 20 additional books. Thus we made the decision early in WikiChristian's history that only the 66 books that are considered part of the canon by all denominations would be taken as the Bible. That's not to say that we shouldn't write about the views of various denominations about which books are part of the Bible and which are not. So, yes I think it is good to talk about the Deuterocanon in the Bible section and talk about the views of different denominations regarding it, but, no, I am not in favour of putting the Deuterocanoniacal texts in the Bible name-spare (I think they need to stay in the Text name-space - see [[WikiChristian:Bible]]) and no, I am not in favour of changing the [[WikicChristian:Statement of Faith]] that states that the Bible "contents are every book of the Protestant canon (at least)." --[[User:Graham grove|Graham]] 19:43, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
