Contrary to common belief, there was never a one-time, truly universal decision as to which books should be included in the Bible.
It took over a century of the proliferation of numerous writings before anyone even bothered to start picking and choosing, and then it was largely a cumulative, individual and happenstance event, guided by chance and prejudice more than objective and scholarly research, until priests and academics began pronouncing what was authoritative and holy, and even they were not unanimous
copied and pasted from some website but anyways, Jesus didnt write the bible, so why should we believe some ancient guy who probaly lived in poverty and had no educational background. it could all be stories which people believed and still believes.
much like homer and his works which the greeks believed (Odysseus and the Illiad)
