If it's not in the Bible you don't need it.

The Holy Bible is composed of 1. all the works of the Hebrew Old Testament. 2. The Apocrypha 3. The New Testament. This is considered the Catholic Bible.
The Protestant Bible has number 2. removed. The Protestants maintain that the Apocrypha is not "canon."
There is another section number 4. The Pseudopigraphas. This is ALL the other works that never made it to either the Catholic or Protestant versions. Protestants and Catholics maintain that the Pseudopigraphas are not "canon."
Pseudopigraphas is Greek for "false writings."
Canon is church jargon for "approved."
If you are interested - the Apocryphas are between the Old and New Testament. The Pseudopigraphas are in any good library at a major university. Look on the Internet also. This information is not hidden. Anyone can research it. You see as I understand it at the council of Nicea the Bible was assembled from a great volume of works. What you see today is a small portion of the original works.

well there is the before mentioned apocrypha, and that has a few good books that were never included in the bible at the nicean council, this council basically created the catholic church. the councils intention was to create a goverment system where the people COULD be governed or at least allow a group of people to tell them that they can do this and not do that. this is why they put together the books that could generate the largest amount of fear. so they could use that fear to control the people. it also does a good job of keeping those people stupid. if you watch catholics (and because the catholics created and control the bible everyone who believes in the bible is catholic.) you will see that while they sit and argue over trivialities created in this book, those that are in goverment are stealing, murdering, raping, and absolutely every evil negative thing they can and get away with it because it generates fear and keeps the need for goverment in place. just as an example what is the largest group of known sex offenders? Catholic priests of course!

Although I am at a lose as to why you might want such information, I recommend the following:
1) Rome - Vatican City - The Office and Files attached to THe Holy Office maintains a collection of thos books "not" commonly acceptable for the 72 books in the catholic scriptures.
2)Orthodox Epachy in Athens & Corinth - Traditional scriptures are in Greek as well as those not accepted into the Bibles
3) Jerusalem - University of, maintains the scriptures inancient hebrew both those inside the scripts and those rejected. this now includes the recently discovered Gospel of Judas.
4) Etheopia - There is great interest in the facts of where the Arc of the Covenant is now kept. The scriptures do not tell us where it is, but by the absense of it, it would suggest it was intentionally left out. It is commonly beleive this country has the Ark. If it does, they would also have the formal proof, scripts left out of sacred scripture.
Hope this helps

I'm not sure what book you mean. Perhaps the one entitled Peter's Book of Apocalypse. People don't understand that some books not included in the Bible were because of being historical and not having any meaning in help with understanding the theme of the Bible. The books included are those that Jesus quoted from. Others not included are just historical. You can read them for the value of history only. I also find it interesting that the shows on TV tell you these exist but try to find copies of them. Where are they stored and why aren't they printed if they are to be so revealing?

What book was taken out of the Bible?
Are you referring to the Books that were never included? If so most were allegedly destroyed before the new Testament that we know was compiled.
The Gospel according to Judas for example was destroyed but a copy was found in Egypt but is incomplete due to bad handling.
I think there were originally approximately 40 Gospels that were narrowed down to 4.

That is the Apocrypha, but anyway the only way to get it is to find a bible with it in it. The Catholics decided that it was not needed, as it is the history that took place between the Old and New Testaments. It is not a Testament so they had it removed, and the Protestants went along with it. I found one in a used book store.

It depends what you mean: there are books that were considered for inclusion (some books that are even included by some denominations but not others). Those are the apocrypha and the pseudepigrapha.
Then there are others that were never really considered at all because they were thought to be hoaxes or heretical, such as the Gnostic bibles.
In any case, there are plenty of sources for both on the web.

There were several books removed from the canon. some were deemed apocryphal some just said the wrong thing. the bible, you must know is a tool for controlling people. always has been. and that is what determined it's content. ever notice how most christians ignore everything that does not agree with them?
