Well, to go back on-topic, I'd ask the strangely offensively-named ES to explain what he means by "Why would GOD let HIS church go astray and not teach the divine truth in its books." - do you mean that the Apocrypha are part of "the church's books" and therefore to be regarded as Scripture?
It might be relevant to note that whether you accept the Apocrypha or not makes virtually no difference to doctrine. I think the only belief or practice endorsed by these books which is not found in the rest of the Bible is that of praying for the dead, something which isn't exactly of enormous significance.
