There are lots of books that weren't included in the bible.

Roman Emperor Constantine had an agenda when he invented his pagan religion and he adopted books that supported his universal pagan religion.

The "bible" is the invention of a pagan Roman Emperor and has little or nothing to do with Hebrews other than adopting their myths as the foundation for the Jesus myth.

You're referring to the gnostic gospel of Mary Magdalene. And yes, there are many books of the bible that were excluded when the Council of Trent developed the canon, and some that Protestants removed that the Catholics still recognise, such as Judith, Tobit, and the Second Book of Esther.
The gnostic books of the Bible are included in the Dead Sea Scrolls, which are some of the oldest found copies of what became Biblical books. You should be able to find the gnostic gospels and the apocrypha easily with an internet search, but I don't know of any sites off the top of my head.

There are no "missing" books from the Bible. What there are, are books that it was obvious did not come from divine inspiration. For instance in the so called Gospel of Thomas used as support for the Da Vinci code, Jesus is supposed to have told his disciples that women couldn't enter into the Kingdom of Heaven so if they cared about any women being saved they should pray for Him to change them into men.

Then there are other books that might have had some historical truth but they had fancy embellishments where things like birds flying in formation around Jesus were supposed to have occurred.

Rest assured that every book that the sovereign Lord of all creation intended to be in the Bible is in the Bible.

Yea there are missing books of the bible. Not so much missing but excluded from the bible. Anyone watches A&E would know that.

The Bible contains internal references to a number of works that aren't compiled with what is now accepted as the canonized scriptures. Of the twenty-eight or so books referenced by, but not found in, the Bible, five references are to books that would have been written in New Testament times. These so-called Lost Books include:

The Nazarene Prophecy
Referenced at Matthew 2:23: "And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene."

The Epistle to Corinth
Referenced at 1 Corinthians 5:9: "I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: "

The Earlier Epistle to the Ephesians
Referenced at Ephesians 3:3-4: "How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)"

The Epistle from Laodicea to the Colossians
Referenced at Colossians 4:16: "And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the epistle from Laodicea."

Jude, the Missing Epistle
Referenced at Jude 1:3: "Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints."

there are no missing books- they are either there or not books of the Bible. Some denoms have put extras in and removed them later over the years- but the basic Bible is still intact.

There are other boks written by others of that time, but they werent the inspired word of God. The Bible is as it was since before Jesus (the OT) and the new books pretty much repeat themselves anyways. (well, sort of)

All of the books of the New Test were basically written after Jesus. The only thing we have are fragments even during that 1st century. As for how credible the one you are speaking of is, I doubt it. Though I do find it odd that there were many books floating around during that 1st century that are now NOT considered scripture.... BY VOTE of those who supposedly started the Roman Catholic Church.
Do a search on Missing Books of the Bible... you will find many.

would like to correct but there are no missing books in the Bible...!

because they are there somewhere, aka Gnostic Gospels. As you know early Christianity had chosen which Gospels to be included in the New Testament.

Find it out yourself..do some exploration. Which religion do you belong to in the first place? I'd like you to see it yourself. Go to a bookstore that carries both RC Bibles and Protestants compare their contents...and you'll find out which one excluded any books.

Didn't the church council's of old around 300 A.D and the clergy following destroy many other scripture's, and killed other heretic's so as to advance only one version for which they held control. Seems to me it was alot about power, remember back then there were no printing presses, so the masses had to rely on there priests for information about God, and those in possession of the agreed upon bible were not about to share that power with anyone, hence you would be killed for heretical teachings and your scripture's or alternate histories would be destroyed.

To blindly believe that only a handful of people were witness to Jesus and his teachings is ignorant. Jesus preached to thousands in 4 years, surely there would have been other accounts of him and his followers, and Mary his favorite disciple surely could have been one of them.

its a gnostic gospel written around 200 - 300 AD. it has no credibility behind it. Mary Mag didnt write it but it was forged and her name is on it.
