The Dead Sea Has Finally Dried Up, What Emerged Is Absolutely SHOCKING!
The Books Omitted from the Bible
Over a millennium, the books included in the Bible went through a complex historical process. However, many significant works were excluded, even though they were once considered important during the early Christian period. So why were these books left out?
1. Marcion and the Bible Revolution Around 150 years after Jesus’ birth, Marcion, a Christian leader, created his own version of the Bible, excluding Old Testament scriptures. He believed these writings were incompatible with the teachings of Jesus. Despite criticism, Marcion sparked a debate about creating a separate Christian Bible.
2. The Quest for a Unified Christian Canon In the time of Emperor Constantine (4th century), he summoned bishops to define the official Christian Bible. The debates over the nature of Jesus (whether he was divine or human) led to the creation of official doctrines, including the Nicene Creed (325 AD), which affirmed Jesus as both God and man. Constantine also ordered the compilation of 50 Bibles to create a unified text for the entire empire.
3. The Forbidden Stories of Adam and Eve “The Life of Adam and Eve” is a book not included in the Bible, offering a different perspective on Eve’s temptation and the conflict between angels and Satan. There was also the book “Jubilees,” which provides detailed accounts of figures like Cain, but it was never widely accepted.
4. The Forbidden Gospels of Jesus Several works about Jesus were excluded from the Bible. For example, the “Infancy Gospel of Thomas” tells of Jesus’ miracles as a child, but these stories were often controversial and strange. Similarly, the “Gospel of James” focuses on the life of Mary, the mother of Jesus, but was excluded because it might overshadow Jesus’ image.
5. Lost Chronicles In addition to the excluded books, many other works have been lost over time, creating a rich cultural heritage of diverse beliefs and perspectives on Jesus’ role and nature in Christianity.
In conclusion, the Bible today contains only a select few books that were chosen over centuries, while many other texts were omitted or forgotten in history. These stories reveal the diversity in understanding faith and the role of Jesus within the Christian community.
