2006-12-20 07:31:43 · update #1
can you read them? or are they lost or something? what si the one about mary about?
2006-12-20 07:47:40 · update #2
yes
they were never included in the bible because:
1. the bible would be very large, so they picked 4 that agreed with most
2. many of the gospels(gnostic gospels) preached about things that contradicted what was believed/accepted/taught. some examples are that Jesus would shape shift into a kid, then reshift into regular Jesus; Jesus wasnt in pain when crucified, and Jesus was a divine spark whose body had to be killed so that the spark could be released, in this way he didnt really die.

It has been reported that some of the Dead Sea Scrolls were used to start a cooking fire. What was burned, nobody will ever know. As long as the people breed we will have the ignorance of the population govern history. Wars, and natural disasters are not under any ones control and history will be lost. The Wheel is reinvented every day out of necessity of ignorance and stupidity.
What Gospels were allowed where the result of an authoritarian figure in the counsel. Men are what they are, some good and some bad. Why do the bad make life so hard for the rest of us?

There are 4 accepted gospels. There are other writings that were not included in the New Testament.
For some, it's because they couldn't determine who wrote them - anonymous people writing under the name of some famous person.
Others were just wild, untruthful fabrications that did not fit with anything else known about Jesus.
Some of the writings called "lost gospels" weren't even written when the canon of the New Testament was decided on.

Yes, we may never know the exact number that were written. Time has destroyed many; but, many more have been destroyed or omitted by the Authoritarians of the past and future. The present consciences is that all documents are to be re-examined. Both science and theologians are looking for answers and the word FAITH is not the answer they are looking for. Faith is another word for crap.

The Dead Sea Scrolls and recently the Gospel of Judas would have you believe that God intended for there to be more then 4 Gospel books in the Bible.Most Christians believe there would have been if God intended but He DID NOT. That is why there are 4.

Yes there were several left out of the bible because they were voted out. Several likely were left out because they portrayed Jesus in a bad light. Such as the Gospel of Phillip which said Jesus liked to Kiss Mary on the XXXX ( word left out here) and made the rest of the disciples jealous. Or the Infancy Gospel of Thomas in which Jesus kills a young boy for accidently bumping in to him. Christians like to claim the others are made up but really none of the gospels have any evidence to back them up, and it's only a political vote that decided which ones would be included.

only 4 were chosen by the Council at Trent to make up the Gospels.

Anyone can attach the word "gospel" to a document. The four gospels in the Bible are the oldest (by at least a century). All of the other 'gospels' date to the 3rd century or later, and have very little to do with the historical Jesus.

Yes many were made up by agnostic sects in the 3rd and 4th centuries, and that is why the church banned these fairy tale gospels.
