The Bible

[Beloved Servant]

I don't know if this has already been discussed, but:

"In the Catholic Church the version used is the Douay-Rheims Bible consisting of 73 books.
In the Protestant church only the 66 books approved by the Archbishop of Canterbury in 1885, which today is known as the Authorized King James Bible, are used. 
No other books, neither the Apocrypha, which was included in the original King James Bible, nor the 22 books mentioned or quoted in the King James Bible, are considered inspired."
From the Web site:  www.bibleufo.com/anomlostbooks.htm, which I'm sure is one of many on the topic.
I just used the first one that "Googled."
So — what are we to read?
Maybe the first books that Constantine put together?

Constantine's agenda, or his "Cannon of Theology" was to equate the Power of God with that of Punishment; the fear of God.

And the wrath is still present, today!

BS,

My answer is that you won't get an answer.....
Various denominations can't even agree what the books they all use teach. Endless battles over a single word.
So don't expect to find agreement over complete books.
Personally I simply don't know. I'm pretty sure some books are fake. And certainly won't rule out some are real.
Or partly real.
IIRC some books where dropped on pure liguistic reasons. Numbers just as an explanation.
A Book that was suppossed to be written 200BC contains words and language structure that didn't exist at that time; but 300 years later.
