answers1: Because the powers that be decided they didn't support the
doctrine that the church was promoting. They made sure to spread the
story that the texts were "not authentic" or "not inspired by God" so
the people in the pews wouldn't begin to wonder if they were being
manipulated.
answers2: From what i understood alot of fathers or priests made
revisions? took out things that didnt sound right to them? im still
studying that subject but i also understood that the book of mormon
help fill in the gaps of the bible which i find really fascinating and
i personally find that true. Enoch is found in the Book of Moses in
the perl of great price. <br>

answers3: There was also a book of Mary left out. I believe it was
Mary Magdalene. People pick n choose, I don't believe anything much
that people tell me though. We only know what the generations have
passed down to us. No one really knows.
answers4: The Early Church Fathers knew that the Earth was flat and
that it had 4 corners so they picked 4 out of over 20 Gospels
available! You can read all about it in the writings of the Early
Church Fathers! The Gospel of Matthew was extensively edited. Some of
the Early Church Fathers were complaining that they had more than a
copy of a particular Gospel author that were not saying the same
thing. Xerox machines were not invented yet and each copyist wrote
their own footnotes that became part of the main text. Reading the
Early Church Father's writings can give you an idea how Christianity
was put together! Developing a feeling of puking is a natural
reaction. Christians must be very gullible to believe all that it is
written in the Bible, or be politically motivated to accept only
selected portions without making any waves! <br>
<br>
The number of books in the "inspired" New Testament was limited by the
number of letters in the Greek alphabet. The number of books in the
"inspired" Old Testament was limited by the number of letters in the
Hebrew alphabet!
answers5: These books were so rare that NOBODY had ever heard of them.
The books that are in the bible were known far and wide but the books
left out were not "inspired" by GOD but rather man and no one had ever
heard of them.
answers6: The Book of Enoch wasn't written by Enoch, the Church at an
early stage rejected it because of that even by the time of Origen of
Alexandria, Head of the Catechetical school there, almost all churches
rejected it because of that. Though it had some true things from
tradition, it still was not by Enoch. Others were left out for the
same reason and other reasons.
answers7: I like the book of Enoch and have a link to it. I think it
was left out because it was a Christian belief that it may have led to
the worship of angels. <br>
<br>
The Jews have it and still use it.
answers8: Because the people who had the authority to pick the books
decided they were not consistent with the message they thought the
Bible should have.
answers9: Not for his or her possess advantage (some thing that
suggests), however in obedience to God. The bishops of the Catholic
Church, guided by way of the Holy Spirit, tested, studied and
discerned practically 2 hundred exceptional texts for practically 2
years earlier than opting for the seventy three that make up the Holy
Bible. Every Bible on Earth for the following one million,2 hundred
years had precisely the ones seventy three books. Then, within the
sixteenth Century, Martin Luther determined to trash 10 books of God's
Holy Word, 7 Old Testament books and three New Testament books that
contained instructing towards probably the most novel doctrinal
suggestions He used to be introducing. His possess fans have been at
the factor of rebelling over trashing the writings of the Apostles, so
He needed to back off on getting rid of the New Testament books.
however he nonetheless went forward and eliminated 7 Old Testament
books that each and every Christian on Earth had used for the duration
of the previous one million,2 hundred years. He additionally further
phrases to the remainder textual content in a couple of areas, once
more to check out to help his new doctrines. If he had his method,
Protestants at present could be utilising an incomplete Bible of sixty
three books as a substitute of the unfinished Bible of sixty six books
they do use. But the customary and whole Holy Bible remains to be to
be had in any Catholic publication retailer, with no unmarried phrase
further, eliminated, or transformed in any respect.
answers10: The Oriental Orthodox Church does have the book of Enoch in
its canonical books. <br>
<br>
It was not well known in the churches than became the Eastern/Greek
Orthodox Church, nor in the churches of the West, and was not
important to them. <br>
<br>
The Orthodox and Catholic churches for about 1500 years (and still
today) had books that the Protestant reformers decided on their own
authority were not scripture. The bulk of Christianity (Catholic and
Orthodox) have the standard 27 NT books. RC has 47 books, OC 49.
These books were and are important to them, and they have kept them.
<br>
<br>
God did not give us a list of books of the Bible. The Bible came from
the mind of Christ in the Church. <br>
<br>
Blessings. <br>
