They were in the older bible before the 1611 KJV....But none the less they were there at on time.
It also talks about the judgement and what the specific torments or blessings are in seven ways between the RIGHTEOUS and UnRighteous Judgement... it is really a awesome read.....it's all in II Esdras chapter 7 verses 70 -105
I'll be back to find a link.
Tell me what you think!!!

Your right Bjones....The tip of the Ice burg.....There are many others even the Book of Enoch. Even the last chapter of Act's where it talks about Paul going through out Europe that was not Mentioned in the bible because they were given the where about and other things concerning the Lost tribes......I believe these could possible be the books that have been hidden until these last days before the end....Of coarse Organized Religion will not except these books.

Yes, your just touching the tip of the iceberg!
I have visited with a fellow who studied in the Vatican for some time, they really have some awesome old records in storage there.
The KJV of the bible was compiled by a committee of people, who choose what to include and what to exclude. A lot more has been recorded then what we have published now.
Possibly if we could live according to what we have now more would be given us?
The source list has a link to a lot of lost scriptures mentioned in the scriptures.

The commonly accepted Protestant version of the Bible contains books not found in the Hebrew Tanahk (Old Testament). These books from among the midrash and commentaries. Yet other works from the Hebrew canon were excluded.
Esdras and other apocrypha are found in the Roman Catholic version of the Bible.
Even as late as Martin Luther, Revelations was not considered a true part of the New Testament. You can find antique editions that do not include this book.
Gospels that were excluded by the Nicene Council are mostly of a Gnostic nature. Many were lost for centuries, but were unearthed near Nag Hammadi, Egypt in the late 1940's. Translations of these works have been available to the public for a very long time now, unlike the Dead Sea Scrolls.
There is also the Book Of Enoch and the Kebra Nagast which are considered part of the Bible by some Orthodox Christian sects and are included in their versions of the Bible, yet most American Christians haven't even heard of them.

There are no missing books.
They were not in the King James Bible.
They were translated by the KJV translating committee and printed with the KJV, but clearly labled as NOT Scripture.
Lots of bogus books have been written and then people complain that the bogus books were taken out of the Bible however, the 66 original books that belong in the Bible are.
In about 50 AD the book you refer to was rejected by the Jewish leaders from being considered in the Tennach because it never existed in Hebrew.
By 90 AD the last surviving Apostles had let their disciples know what books belonged and which ones did not.
In the 315 AD, about ten years before the Council of Nicea, Constantine had 50 Bibles made and each of the contained the very same 66 books which Protestant Bible contain today in the very same sequence.
The Council of Nicea did not even discuss this question.
Ever since the DaVinci Code book came out this has been a hot topic, but its all bologna!

At year 2513, O.T. next 1110 years, 39 books, many write, done 443 B. B.
These give the correct time line, there are no missing books, and the ones out there does not add any information of any value to the 39 O.T. or 27 N. T. books, 50 to 100 years after Christ are done,
These 66 books takes 50 good years to learn and that is a lifetime.
So how many get it done?

They have always been in the Bible until the Reformers took them out. It was part of Christianity for over 1500 years. The original 1611 King James Version included them.

Many of the missing books were eliminated from the canon long before 1611. Before the rise of the "orthodoxy," there were many varied sects, including various forms of Jewish Christianity. Over time, the proto-orthodox of Rome began to use their influence to push the balance toward believing in their interpretation, and the other Christianities lost power until they were almost nonexistent at the time of the First Council of Nicaea.

Today there are many who "write" books and claim that they were inspired by God to do so... it has been this way from the begining of writing.... Within The Nation of Israel there were those who thought they could get in on some of the God action by doing there own writing... and it carried over in to the time of The Church. When it was seen that The Chruch was growing and people were leaving false cults to follow The Church many thought theycould make their own "sect" of this "church" and cash in on that action.... many hundreds if not thousands of "books/scroles" were written about the god stuff in the first couple hundred years following the commissioning of The Chruch... that does not make them of The Church however...
many "christian" books today are actualy good reads... but that does not make them "scripture"(God's Word and will for mankind)

Read Deut 29:29. I believe we have what we have of the Bible because that is exactly what God intended us to have. We either do not have the wisdom to possess more than we already have, or use anything more with the wisdom we do have. God causes all things, and I am confident there is a reason we do not have these books. Be well.

Was just going to pretty much quote "B Jones" I read about the Vatican's archives and they apparently have as much if not more chapters of the Bible which have never been mass produced nor read by a small handfull of people. You can all speculate what they are trying to cover up. Who knows really.

Why didn't they just put all the books written by Christian prophets into the Bible? I may have faith if they did, but they didn't. A council met to decide what is sexist and racist to put into the Bible before common sense.
