Full disclosure, i belive in the Creator
and in Jesus Christ; the consciousness we can all achieve. And the Man that was borne two millennia ago that spawned the religion now coopted..
But i felt the need to say this, since i see so many people on here adhering to a coopted religion. I just cant stand it.., religion is control. You dont need a book to talk to God. Faggot.

What books were removed from the bible and why? Where might I find them?
I’ll list the removed or missing books/gospels/chapters/pieces of the Bible for you based on the information I found.
Note that these removed or missing books/gospels/chapters/pieces are based on the Protestant Christian Bible, which is the most well-known and used Bible.
These books were mostly left out by churches, especially the Catholic Church, for multiple reasons. Many early Christians rejected the following books I’ll provide because they were often considered heretical and didn’t fully align with the canon books, the 66 books that piece together the modern Bible.
I think it’s important to obtain knowledge from the rejected books and writings to gain insight into the biblical stories and what things are mentioned in them that aren’t mentioned in the 66 canon books. Although, a large number of these should not be read because they do not align with the canon books.
Also, note that a number of these are pseudepigraphic works of the Old Testament and apocryphal works of the New Testament.
