I'm trying to understand something.
On the History Channel, every once in a while they explore religious topics, christian topics too.
What was interesting, is I first heard of the books of Jesus' childhood by the History channel. There were books about when Jesus was a child left out of the Bible and there were also books about some of the apostles left out of the Holy Bible.
So okay, I understand that the Bible was taken from the Hebrew or Jewish people and the Greek and Roman people and translated into English and to a way in which English speaking people could understand it. This was done by King James.
This is a bit off topic, but this is why there are misunderstandings and so called "contradictions" in the Bible. It's not that the words weren't translated correctly, but some things were lost in translation. That's why preachers constantly have to convince people that the Holy Bible by King James IS the word of God.
Any way, here's what I don't understand. In Revelations, it says that nothing should be removed or added to the scriptures. So okay, then why are the books about Jesus childhood and some of the apostle experiences left out of the Holy Bible?
Why are those books considered non canon or not important?
Oh yeah, off topic, but in Genesis it said that either Abel or Cain left Adam and Eve and found a wife but his kids were cursed. If Adam and Eve were the first and only other humans in the beginning, then who was his wife he found?
Last but not least, is it true at one point Angels mated with humans? Is it true that when Jesus died on the cross, he actually went to heck and did something there that had something to do with the angels who mated with the humans? By the way, that story is considered non canon or unimportant too.
Sorry for all the questions, just wondering.
