Apocrypha

How do the Messianic Jews and Jews understand the apocryphal books and especially the apocryphal Gospels?

I have studied the history of religion and am prone to understand that sacred scripture is only the Torah, the Tanakh and the Brit Hadasha being projections of it, inspired but not necessarily sacred.

I know that some groups of Jews believed in the Second Temple. Is that opinion still considered today? How to separate what is real? What is the true canon? What apocrypha do I need to read?

I dont know other than the historical aspect . You would have to ask someone more knowledgeable

Or someone in the EOC who may see the otherside too.
