Why was the bible not updated, where are the modern day prophets?
We are also missing scriptures from the Bible that are apparently hidden in the Vatican City.
Why have these not been published?
I dare the Vatican to put those scriptures on display for Free.
I have heard rumors that they have discovered the scripture of Judas? True/False?

The bible is a book of lies and fantasies, fictions to control the masses. Pathetic and ridiculous tripe.

Answer: Because there was nothing more to add. The New Testament was written by people who knew Jesus, His disciples, and/or His disciples' disciples. Everything else was discarded.

Answer: Why would the Bible be updated, and who are these other prophets you speak of?
<
Answer: I don't know of any hidden scriptures. The apocrypha HAS been published in its entirety. You can read it yourself on the internet. Maybe reading them will help you understand why they were left out of the final canon.

Neither true nor false. They found scriptures CALLED the "Gospel of Judas," but it was not written by Judas, nor was it written by anyone who knew Judas. It was written MUCH later. You can read it yourself.

"Why was the bible not updated, where are the modern day prophets?"
Why should it be updated?
"We are also missing scriptures from the Bible that are apparently hidden in the Vatican City."
*headdesk*
There are no scriptures 'missing' from the Bible.They were never in the Bible to begin with.
There are no books hidden in Vatican City.That's a silly conspiracy theory,without any basis in fact.
"Why have these not been published?"
Uh,because these supposed books hidden in the Vatican don't exist?
"I dare the Vatican to put those scriptures on display for Free."
The Vatican doesn't have any.
"I have heard rumors that they have discovered the scripture of Judas? True/False?"
They have found something known as the 'Gospel of Judas',yes.But guess what? It wasn't written by Judas.It was written in the 4th century A.D,by people who didn't even know Judas or Jesus.

Firstly the bible was constructed by humans - there was no claim of Divine intervention dictating which scriptures would be part of the bible and there are probably thousands of texts in the Vatican that could have equally been considered as part of the bible... but they weren't, so they're not.
The bible is constantly changing and being updated.
The first version of the old testament wasn't published until about 400 years after Christ.
Each subsequent translation interprets the original texts in different ways, rewrites the metaphors and stresses different aspects.
Some versions of the bible attempt a word for word translation, while other versions try to paraphrase - each method is inherently flawed and there is no way we can be sure of the original intent behind texts that are thousands of years old.
The bible has been translated into 2400* different languages - that's a lot of different interpretations.
