They say the Apocrypha doesn’t belong in the Bible because there were no prophets at that time.
Ok? So?
So what if there were no prophets? There were priests. The Maccabees were priests.
Ask them this: “Was Ezra a prophet?”
They’ll say, “No, Ezra was not a prophet. He was a priest and a scribe.”
There you go. The Maccabees were not prophets. But they were priests.
So what’s the problem? Thank you for answering your own question.
If Ezra is the word of God, even though he was not a prophet but just a priest, then Maccabees can also be the Word of God. The fact that it wasn’t written by prophets does not disqualify it. Otherwise Ezra would be disqualified.
