Same goes for the Apocrypha. Though it is not the inspired word of God many truths are expounded there. We don't accept them because during that time there was no word from God through a prophet as such called the silent years. Ever heard of the Maccabees?
Where do we get the culture and customs from? Many writings that are historical records. We study these though they are not the word of God. Do you have Josephus or Eusebius the father of church history on your book shelve. These are a good study though you should not equate them to the Word of God.
Tell me where the additional detail comes from that is added to the New Testament that not found in the Old. You probably have never studied that.

Also don't ASSUME anything with me. You know nothing of my background nor of my studies!
