God however will not allow mankind to remain unguided. “Some writings were left out for political or theological reasons…” And keep in mind these are only books we know of because as Dr. The Bible’s preservation as a whole is seriously called into question because as we have seen, lost texts are clearly mentioned within the official canon itself. We don’t know the impact the books would have to the message because we don’t have said books.If they are “apocryphal books” as some might claim, then why would the canon mention them?.Jews and Christians might argue that these are apocryphal books or that they don’t matter to the Bible’s overall message. The Sayings of the Seers (or Sayings of Hozai, in the Masoretic Text).The Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.The book of Samuel the seer and the Book of Gad the Seer.
The “Book of Shemaiah, and of Iddo the Seer” (also called Story of the Prophet Iddo or The Annals of the Prophet Iddo.The Chronicles of the Kings of Israel and Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.Moses (peace be upon him) quotes a verse to comfort Aaron (peace be upon him) that doesn’t exist in the Bible.Today we’re going to look into various places in the Torah where references will be made to books that don’t exist in the present day Bible. Underlying all of these differences is the simple fact that there used to be lots of holy writings, and different groups of people compiled different collections of them to form a single book.” Jews marginalize Daniel by grouping him with the other “writings.”) The Apocrypha, too, appear variously as part of the Old Testament, as an addition to the Old Testament, or-as we just saw-not at all. (For instance, Christians put Daniel near the other famous prophets like Ezekiel and Isaiah, to underscore his centrality. Christians put the Old Testament books into a third order yet. The modern Jewish order is different from the traditional Jewish order. Additionally, different groups of people order the books of the Bible differently. Yet even with seventy-eight books, more material was left out than was included.

Some passages were even omitted by accident. At times, the compilers of the Bible skipped information that they assumed everyone knew. Some writings were left out for political or theological reasons, others simply because of the physical restrictions of ancient bookmaking technology. Its contents were culled from a much larger selection of holy scriptures when new realities forced religious leaders to discard some of their most cherished and sacred books, resulting in what we now call the Bible. “The Bible you usually read is the abridged version. Joel Hoffman in his book “The Bible’s Cutting Room Floor” states (emphasis mine): In the verse of the Qur’an quoted above, God says that the Jews and Christians have forgotten a piece of the Scripture. This will be a short and sweet post this time. So I released animosity and hatred among themselves until the Day of Judgement, when God will tell them what they used to manufacture.” I had also took a Covenant from those who say: “We’re Christians,” but they too forgot part of what they were told to remember. Overlook this and forgive them because God loves those who excel in doing good. They changed the words from their original places and have forgotten a huge piece of what they were told to remember over and over again, so you will continue to find treachery against you or cheats from a few of them. “God had taken a Covenant from the Children of Israel… But they broke their Covenant, so I cursed them and made their hearts hard.
