Thanks for clarifying. Hopefully you understand our reasoning for not necessarily accepting it as canon. Again, if you read the Doctrine and Covenants reference, it states that most of the material is correct, though there are substantial errors in other parts. I am particularly fond of 1 Maccabees for its historical value, and there are other aspects of those books that I find interesting and worthwhile. We don't reject them outright. We simply haven't canonized them or feel they are necessary, in part based on unspecific inaccuracies.
