Ronnlyn is incorrect. The Greek-speaking Jews and early Christians held the Septuagint, which included Deuterocanonicals as divinely inspired. The Jews in Jerusalem do not consider these books as divinely inspired, because they were not written in Hebrew (which excludes the canon in Jamnia). Protestants accept the Christian canon in the New Testament, but rejects it in the Old Testament Jewish canon preferring instead. Ironically, the Jewish council was called to fight Christianity.
It is not true that Deuterocanonicals are added in the Council of Trent. In the Council of Rome in 382, the church decided on a canon of 46 books of the Old Testament and 27 in the New Testament. This decision was ratified by the councils at Hippo (393), Carthage (397, 419), Nicaea II (787), Florence (1442) and Trento (1546).
In fact, including Luther Deiterocanonicals in its first translation into German, published by the Council of Trent. Can also be found in the first version of King James (1611) and the first Bible ever printed, the Guttenberg Bible (a century before Trento). In fact, these books are included in almost all of the Bible to Edinburgh Foreign Relations Committee of the British Bible Society removed in 1825. Until then, had at least been included in an appendix of the Protestant Bible. It is historically demonstrable that Catholics do not add the books, the Protestants took place.

Great questions.
In fact, most Christians have no idea about the way that the Scriptures put their faith in more passed through the ages.
Most of them believe they read the Bible word for word translation of the original. That is not the case at all. Many of the writings found in the Dead Sea Scrolls written years earlier, highlighted the changes to the text, which showed a deliberate intention to change the doctrine.
Men always change or add to the Scriptures to change the doctrine. The end of the book of Mark was added to the construction of credibility to the resurrection of Christ. And ad infinitum, and nothing that is really credible, especially when seen through science major.

I think it just keeps parts he liked and disliked what he took away from the Bible.
That's it.

You are lying.
Martin Luther did not do such a thing.
And you are lying on the Council of Trent.
Even the word Deuterocanonical shows you are lying.
7 You called these books "Deuterocanonicals," we must find that word in a dictionary.

Yes, but leaving it, because at one point there were 50 gospels.
All of you have been reviewing all these deeds, since they were written.

Martin Luther did not remove portions of the Bible, the Council of Trent officially included as part of its response to Martin Luther and other reformers. These additional texts (which are considered of devotion, but not inspired by the story) were needed to support such doctrines as purgatory.

The first time the New Testament books to be included in the canon of Scripture was in the year 367 by Athanasius in his 39th Festal Letter. These books are Protestants were 27 books in his New Testament today.
Melito states that the books should be included in the canon of the Old Testament about 170 years.
Most of the early church fathers after Melito all agreed with your list - in the 39 books of the Old Testament as Protestants claim.
The deuterocanonical "added in the books at the Council of Trent. They were never considered part of the official canon until the Council of Trent.
