when they put the bible together into one book why didnt they add the other gospels?

Question

was it some sort of censorship, accourding to the scrolls and other writings there were 30 in all but we end up with 4 ?

i meant the new testiment not the bible in general

even the oldest bible on earth in england has prove of this censorship with the other gospels

even some of the gospels that were never put in the new testament was almost the same as the other four so how is it not the word of god and how can you prove centuries later it wasnt

servant: thats true but the scrolls is not the only written evidence they have left out

Answer 1

the "other" gospels were not written by the apostles nor were they written by people with the same beliefs - for example the gnostic gospels -
First - they were not written by the people that have been given credit b/c they were written after 200AD - Mary Magdalen was long dead so was Philip and the others
Second - the gnostic movement was a break off from the Christians - their beliefs were very different and wanted to start their own movement that is why they wrote those gospels - so comparing the 4 that we have with the gnostic gospels is like comparing the Bible to the Koran - they were written for different religions so obviously they would not be considered for the Bible

Answer 2

LOL fancy doll -----
It was censorship. The bible that and the teachings that taught to this day to the best of my knowledge came from the council of Nicaea. This is where the leaders of Christianity in Rome came together to decide what would go into the bible, and what would not. The political and social climate was another deciding factor over the years.

"The Apocrypha refers to 14 or 15 books of doubtful authenticity and authority that the Roman Catholics decided belonged in the Bible sometime following the Protestant Reformation. The Catholic Council of Trent (1545-1563) canonized these books. This canonization took place largely as a result of the Protestant Reformation. Indeed, Luther had criticized the Catholics for not having scriptural support fur such doctrines as praying for the dead. By canonizing the Apocrypha (which offers support for praying for the dead in 2 Macabese 23:45-46), the Catholics suddenly had "scriptural" support for this and other distinctively Catholic doctrines.
Roman Catholics argue that the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Hebrew Old Testament) contained the Apocrypha. As well, church fathers like Iranians, Tortellini, and Clement of Alexandria used the apocryphal books in public worship and accepted them as Scripture. Further, it is argued, St. Augustine viewed these books as inspired.
Protestants respond by pointing out that even though some of the Apocryphal books may have been alluded to in the New Testament, no New Testament writer EVER quoted from ANY of these books as holy Scripture or gave them the slightest authority as inspired books. Jesus and the disciples virtually ignored these books, something that wouldn't have been the case if they had considered them to be inspired.
Moreover, even though certain church fathers spoke approvingly of the Apocrypha, there were other early church fathers - notable Origin and Jerome - who denied their inspiration. Further, even though the early Augustine acknowledged the Apocrypha, in his later years he rejected these books as being outside the canon and considered them inferior to the Hebrew Scriptures.
The Jewish Council of Jamie, which met in A.D. 90, rejected the Apocrypha as Scripture. Combine all this with the fact that there are clear historical errors in the Apocrypha (especially those relating to Obit) and the fact that it contains unbiblical doctrines (like praying for the dead), and it is clear that these books do not belong in the Bible. In addition, unlike many of the biblical books, THERE IS NO CLAIM IN ANY APOCRYPHAL BOOK IN REGARD TO DIVINE INSPIRATION.

Answer 4

The "other gospels" weren't valid because of who wrote them. If you know some much then research the guidelines that went into determining what books would go into the New Testament. Afterwards feel free to remove this question.

Answer 5

The bible only tells what they want you to know, there are many secrets that are only held by the Pope and Cardinals in the Vatican, like who knows: Jesus had a daughter with Mary Magdalen, they way Dan Brown explains it is way too realistic to be denied, maybe it is true and the Vatican just wont admit it on behalf of ruining the belief of many. Vatican know many things we dont, and if they decide that something will be in the bible,then it will.
