Are there any chapters of the Bible that have been taken out?

Answer 1

Yes, the Catholic Bible retained the books removed during the Reformation by the Protestants. They are known as the Apocrophya. They are: Tobias, Judith, the Wisdom of Solomon, Baruch, and Maccabees 1-2

Answer 2

the gnostic ''gospels'' were written in coptic (an egyptian language) about 390 ad, and included the gospel of mary (and who's to say which ''mary''?), the gospel of judas, and the gospel of thomas. those are the ones that formed the foundation for the movie ''the da vinci code,'' and were never accepted into the bible, as the bible was finished being written in about 70 ad, and was canonized about three hundred years later.

the gospel of barnabas (a friend of st. paul, author of 13 of the 26 new testament books), which is in the quran, was originally written in italian by a muslim monk, during the 1500's. the writer of this book claims to be barnabas, and claims that judas, not Jesus, died on the cross, and that Jesus went into hiding. the book starts out saying that Jesus is the Christ, and ends up saying that He is not the Messiah. there are 32 historical and geographical errors that prove that this book is a fake.

the roman catholic apocrypha consists of seven books. some of them are the book of judith, the book of beth, and the book of tobias. they were added to the roman catholic bible in 1516, and deemed to be ''divinely inspired'' in 1546. they were originally written in greek and latin, though they are claimed by the catholic church to be jewish books. they were taken out of the bible during the protestant reformation because they were never accepted into the tanach (old testament) by the ancient jews, and because they contained contradictory themes (the concept of purgatory, salvation is granted through the giving of alms, etc).

Answer 3

Oh, yes. From the time of Constantine, the Christian bible, and as one reads the beautiful KJV today, has been a cut-and-paste undertaking. Later versions sometimes are questionable, in fact. Because of misinterpretation of earlier misinterpretation, the introduction of right-wing political influence, and outright fraud, words with modern meaning, which either did not exist once or bore different meanings, have been added, changed, edited.

Answer 4

Jeanette_Benedicta answered correctly. All bibles in all of Christianity included the books that Protestants call "the apocrypha" - until Protestants began to take them out a century or two after the Reformation.

To this day, 70% of Christians (Orthodox, Catholics, and other non-Protestant churches) retain these books in their bibles. It is only the Protestants and Evangelicals who do not, a small minority of Christianity.

Answer 5

I am aware there were books that were excluded when the Bible was originally compiled. They are known as the gnostic gospels. Early Christianity was even more diverse in its beliefs and branches than todays. The early Church or organization of the religion wanted to create a more uniform and well defined belief system and these texts were outside what ended up as the main or root belief system.

Answer 6

Whole books are missing written by the disciples. Especially The Apocryphon of John, the book christians do not want people to talk about because it destroys every major doctrine of christianity, and it came from Jesus Christ Himself! Be smart, believe Jesus, not Moses.

Answer 7

You knew that answer before you asked the question. So I guess this is a discussion about what you believe. Since I was raised Roman Catholic and now believe it to be a cult. No there were no books left out of the Bible. There could be some books that haven't been found though.

Answer 8

Nearly all of them! The original Bible was a library, not a single volume. Many precious books are hidden away in the vaults of the Vatican and may never see the light of day.

Answer 9

I just found out that acts ch29 has been taken out apparently it tells of the where abouts of the lost ten tribes of Israel and that Paul went to preach to them, it makes me wounder why anyone would want to hide the identity of Israel

Answer 10

bear in mind, to cover hundreds of years of history in one short e book, something should be shrink, and all money owed are abbreviated. So there is no contradiction, one account is in basic terms abbreviated out of necessity. And your translation fails to think approximately the continued action allowed for in Gen 2:19. yet another translation places it, "Now Jehovah God replaced into forming from the floor each and every wild beast of the sector and each flying creature of the heavens, and he began bringing them to the guy to work out what he could call all and sundry; and despite the guy could call it, each and each residing soul, that replaced into its call. 20 So the guy replaced into calling the names of all the family individuals animals and of the flying creatures of the heavens and of each and every wild beast of the sector, yet for guy there replaced into got here across no helper as a supplement of him." So financial disaster 2 in basic terms provides the element that the creation of a few animals replaced into concurrent with the guy. superb regards, Michael
