Why are they lost? Who got rid of them?

2 Why isn't the Apocrypha added to the Protestant Bible ? Does Apocryphal literature hold secrets? Does it shed light on Canonized Biblical text? So many Bible is a collection of 39 Old Testament manuscripts that pre-date Christ and 27 New Testament manuscripts that post-date Christ. As also with the Pseudepigrapha & Apocrypha manuscripts, some pre-date Christ and some post-date interested in history or the Bible will find these texts very interesting. Several of these texts have blatant contradictions to canonized scripture. Some of them give interesting insights into briefly mentioned accounts of canonized scripture. It is probably best to see Apocryphal literature as insightful but not "ordained." Just as I can personally write my views concerning scripture or what God has shown me through my circumstances, my writings are not God's official words yet they are influenced by His Holy Spirit in my life and my understanding of the Truth.

3 I see it as similar to the Apocryphal text. They can have important historical and theological bearing however they must not be seen as God's official words because of the uncertainty and because of some contradictions in some of the is in control of His Holy Word, the Bible . He is also in control of history. At times, He reveals things to only a certain group of people. At times He reveals things to all people. However, the most important thing that He has not hidden from us is the thing that we should be most concerned about: The Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is interesting to research about things relating to scripture and history, however, we should never lose our focus on why we even have "scripture"..it is to point us to IntroductionThe following text is taken from: the origins of the Catholic Church began to emerge in the 4th Century AD, it was under the guidance of the Emperor Constantine. Constantine began a centuries long effort to eliminate any book in the original Bible that was considered unacceptable to the new doctrine of the church.

4 At that time, it is believed there were approximately 600 Books that compromised the work we now know as the Bible . Through a series of decisions made by the early church leadership, all but 79 of those Books , known as the King James Version, were purged from the work. For the faithful, who believe the Bible to be the inspired word of God, it is generally believed that King James received the entire Bible and simply translated it into the English language. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Books he undertook to translate had been chosen centuries earlier by church leaders as the only Books acceptable to what they had determined was to be the doctrine and practice of the church. In careful consideration of the fact that the church leaders have changed almost every doctrine and practice of the first church inspired by the Holy Spirit, it is doubtful this purging of hundreds of Books was done by the inspiration of claim no expertise concerning the authenticity of any the lost Books and leave this judgment to the reader.

5 We do, however, strongly reject the self-proclaimed authority of any dogmatically motivated and church-controlled mortals who think themselves qualified to make such decisions. One of the most logical and realistic concepts in the Bible is the caution that one should prove all things. We believe that proving the veracity of a given thing is an individual responsibility which must not, and should not, be the duty of those who think they are better Apocryphal, Or Deuterocanonical BooksThe 13 Books known as the Apocrypha which were also in the original King James translation but were removed at the Synod of Dordrecht in Mentioned But Not Found Besides the Apocryphal Books eliminated from the Bible used by Protestant Church there are 23 other Books mentioned in scripture, which do not appear in the Removed From, Or Associated With, The BibleThe known Books removed from the original Bible since the 4th century In The Apocryphal BooksThe anomalies connecting the Apocrypha to the Authorized King James Bible and the advanced technology of the Elohiym.

6 Anomalies In The Lost BooksThe Lost Books of the Bible contain the same aerial anomalies, beings and people flying up into the sky, and enigmatic events as the King James In The Lost Books The anomalies found in the lost Books by Testament Apocryphal Writings The term "apocrypha" comes from a Greek word meaning "hidden" or "secret" and the Books were originally considered by the early church as too exalted to be available to the general public. As time progressed, the exalted nature of the Books was lost and the Books were deemed by some as false. Between the book of Malachi and Matthew there is a gap of approximately 450 years. It is these Books that fill that gap and in the time of Christ, these Books formed part of the Septuagint Greek Bible which was in circulation at that time. What is missing from most Bibles, and our understanding of it, is what happened in that 450 year gap. Prophets were still writing and reflecting on life in the Holy Land right up until the Romans destroyed the temple of Jerusalem in 70 AD.

7 The world that Jesus entered in 4 BC is not the world that Daniel and Malachi experienced. One of the values of these Books is how they reflect the mindset of Judaism and a Roman world that the New Testament writers faced. Malachi and Daniel leave us in Persia; Matthew brings us into a Roman world. The Apocrypha bridges that gap and gently nudges us into the reality of Roman Palestine. It was only in the fourth century AD that Christians first started to question the canonicity of the works although most survived to be included in the King James translation of the Bible in 1611.

8 The variation is due to possible double mentions using differing names for the same of the CovenantExodus 24:7 And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the Lord hath said will we do, and be are those that believe the book of the Covenant is found in Exodus chapters 20 through 23. There are no authoritative sources for this of the Wars of the LordNumbers 21:14 Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the Lord, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,Certain sources believe that this is to be found by drawing text from several Old Testament Books . There are no authoritative sources for this of Jasher HereJoshua 10:13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole Samuel 1:18(Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)
