Where do I find the parts of the Bible that were left out and I mean the stack?

Answer 1

These are books which are included in some version of the canonical Bible, but which have been excluded at one time or another, for textual or doctrinal issues. These are called 'Deuterocanonical', which literally means 'the secondary canon.'

These are other apocryphal texts which never made it into any official canon, which nevertheless shed light on the Bible and its history.

The Biblical Antiquities of Philo

An alternative pseudepigraphal narrative of the Hebrew Bible from Gensis through 1 Samuel, written in the first century C.E.

The Gospel of Thomas
These are reputedly the writings of the apostle 'Doubting Thomas'. This text purports to be a collection of the sayings of Jesus. Traditionally Thomas was Jesus' twin brother. This text shows strong Gnostic influence.

The Sibylline Oracles The Sibylline books were oracular Roman scrolls. These are the pseudo-Sibylline Oracles. The reason they are cross-referenced here is because they have many similarities to early Christian writings, and they were quoted by the Church Fathers.

The Book of Enoch Translated by R.H. Charles [1917]
This is an etext of a critical edition of the Book of Enoch. Enoch introduced such concepts as fallen Angels, the Messiah, the Resurrection, and others.

The Book of Jubilees Translated by R.H. Charles [1917]
The Book of Jubilees is a text from the 2nd century B.C.E. which covers much of the same ground as Genesis, with some interesting additional details. It may have been an intermediate form of Gensis which was incorporated into later versions.

Answer 2

IN Rome...In the Vatican...the Catholic church decided what went into the bible...and what was left out.....You see when Jesus died his brother James and followers kept preaching Jesus words.

They didn't get along with the apostles....The apostles were seen befriending the Romans....soon after James was murdered. And the writing in the books were changed...as to what the Romans wanted. If the Romans did not like Jewish people. They would not have allowed the true preachings of Jesus and the Disciples...make a book of the Words of God.

Then and only then....you get a new testament....what is so new...it all happened in the same time...what are the old testaments for....Had they changed the meaning....the reasons...the faith....The Roman Catholic At the Vatican.....there are 26 more books...not included in the bible....

Answer 3

wow great post of the listings. easiest to start is to pick up the New American Bible -it has the Accropya. i have to chuckle at some of the posts to you -- people always cite that the Vatican keeps things hidden.... the accropya has been around for centuries and yet it's not acceptedby other denominations - until they accept what was first offered, there will be no additions. it's like a child on their birthday telling someone - no i do't want that gift, you go and get me something else.
Maccabees, Tobit & Judith are favorites.

Answer 4

Realize first, that your question is somewhat oxymoronic -- the writings that were left out of the Bible are not part of the Bible.

Never-the-less, I believe you are interested in knowing more about other writings that are from the early Christian era, purported to be Christian writings. So, here's a Web site:

I have the CD; it's pretty good.

Answer 5

u mean the Gnostic Gospels -- well you should ask - ok let it be. but the Bible parts were rejected and some ordered destroyed as early as 100 AD when Bible was being selectively compiled, that is why these Gnostic Gospels had to be hidden. also during Frech Reviolution and Renaissance many Biblic verses and rules were altered. why even today many people choose to pick and practise it depending on their convenience.

Answer 6

Most of the documents that were not included in the Bible can be found on the internet if you look hard enough.

Answer 7

Most people pick and choose what parts of the Bible they want to believe and obey anyway, so what's the difference?

Answer 8

The Vatican library. ( good luck cos you have no chance) the 'dodgy' parts are not worth bothering about. If you have not got it already then you do not need it. Do you know it all like the back of your hand already ?

Answer 9

The Holy Bible is complete - it lacks nothing.

Answer 10
