My question was not understood. Iam looking for the original text of books missing from the bible.?

Question

Need to know the wearabouts of the original lost books text, not copies in the library or book store. Original, authentic books.

Answer 1

Have you read the Gospel of Barnabas?
It is available on-line.
The original of this still exists, though I am not sure where.
The pope has forbidden Christians to read this text, for obvious reasons.
It was, however written by one of Jesus's (pbuh) disciples and the original was preserved.

Answer 2

This might be a little difficult to answer, since the Bible was not originally one book until it was canonized by the Catholic church into the Bible we know today. The Old Testament came from what we know today as the "Septuagint" (LXX) while the New Testament (other than the four gospels) is a recollection of letters and writings by the apostles to the churches and friends - mostly by Paul.

But among the original scrolls, the latest and most significant one to be found is the "Dead Sea Scrolls". The current locations are unknown but Wikipedia stated that it was on display in a museum at Amman. Other than this, the Bible is a recollection of scripts such as the Masoretic texts, Codex Vaticanus and Codex Sinaiticus. Current whereabouts are unknown, but it might be in some archeological museums or even in Vatican.

And if you're asking about the missing books, yes the Dead Sea Scrolls do have them but originally they were in the Septuagint.

Answer 3

I think you may be looking at this from the wrong end. You have to look at the Bible as a compilation, or a best of, the Christian writings between 40-50 ad to 326 ad. The Bible didnt exist until almost 300 years after Jesus died. The writings which existed before that didnt make the "Best Of" list, are out there. There is actually a book called Lost Books of the Bible, and also many sources on line. Basicly the books that portrayed Jesus as a God made it in, the ones that portrayed him as a man, didnt.

Answer 4

The lost books of the Bible are various Gospels that were not originally in book form. They were written on scrolls of papyrus as the Biblical scrolls were. The scrolls of the Nag Hammadi (10 and 1/2 scrolls of the 13 originally found) are in the Coptic Museum in Cairo, Egypt. These include the Apocalyptic Texts, the Gospels, the Acts, the Prayers, the Valentinian Texts, Dialogue and Revelatory Texts, and various other texts.

The Dead Sea Scrolls are located in the Shrine of the Book located inside of The Israel Museum, Jerusalem.

Answer 5

foolish. the oldest manuscripts extant to this day are but copies of copies, made at least 200 years after the supposed compilation of the original text. this goes for both texts that are in the bible and texts that didn't make the cut, or 'non-canonical' texts. for example, the nag hammadi documents are not originals, and they're pretty old, so old they're falling to bits. but, perhaps you might find them in some lost temple if you go on a quest for them, a la indiana jones. lol

Answer 6

Yeah yet often times it has allusions to different works or issues that have been properly-known in that day so it particularly is tough to are conscious of it thoroughly. as far by using fact the archaic diction, yeah it is not that difficult particularly after taking a British Lit type.

Answer 7

The problem with the idea of the original authentic books is the high possibility that they no longer exist. If they do still exist, they are likely in the Vatican collection, known to collect such things.

How to get to see them? You probably don't.

Answer 8

because the bible has been changed so many times by people during Jesus' time and in modern time (meaning not ancient but not exactly today's times) that it doesnt even exist most likley.


thats what i dont understand about christians...why do they follow a book that was not even written by God and that has been changed numerous times.

i think it wierd

but i mean whatever floats ur boat
its ur liife

Answer 9

Yeah, good luck with that one! Don't you think anything so ancient would be protected somewhere? I don't think it's readily accessible to the general public. Anyway, if it was left OUT of the Bible, its because it was never supposed to be in there to start with.

Answer 10

A big part of religion is secrecy. They will give you a run-around, as there is much speculation that when the King James version of the Bible was written the monks put in a few verses for themselves. like, "And God said that you must financially support us for the rest of our lives".
