[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] It's Apocrypha. But there were more than that. When the Bible was first codified, that is, put into a form that would be generally recognizable to someone today, it was around 300 AD. Of course, there have been changes since then, as well, but mostly we're talking about the oldest times. Upwards of sixty gospels, including those of Mary, Thomas, and James, were discarded, and the 'canon' reduced to the four in the current Bible. The decision was made not to include Quabbala, and other books. Why? Politics. The Powers That Were decided they wanted a Bible which closely agreed with what THEY wanted to put forth (remember, the early church was an EXTREMELY fractured and factious group, with a dozen or so different interpretations of everything from Jesus's life and death, to what He said. What you read today is the politically sanitized version of the originals, written by the folks who won the power struggles by wiping out all opposition. [/QB][/QUOTE]
