Old Testament Apocrypha
Old Testament Apocrypha (also called Deuterocanonical books) are books found in the Greek Septuagint but not in the Hebrew Bible. They are included in the Old Testament by Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox Christians but are rejected as canonical Scripture by Protestants and Jews.
Martin Luther said “Apocrypha: These books are not held equal to the Sacred Scriptures, and yet are useful and good for reading.”.
Apocrypha was removed from the Bible in the 19th century to save printing and distribution costs.

Contradictions between Old Testament Apocryphal books and Bible
Salvation
For alms delivereth from death, and the same is that which purgeth away sins, and maketh to find mercy and life everlasting. Tobit 12:9
This implies salvation is by works.
For it is by God's grace that you have been saved through faith. It is not the result of your own efforts, but God's gift, so that no one can boast about it. Ephesians 2:8-9
This implies salvation is by faith, not works.
