Why Are There No "New" Books Of The Bible?

[ghglenn]

Well, according to the Mormons, you can read all kinds of new stuff...

In the Bible it is written in Deuteronomy 4:2

Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish [ought] from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

I would suggest that God would know when to call his book "done". The New Testament, is quite complete, and any new additions would be suspect just due to the finality of the existing work.

I have several Bibles that have been rewritten over the pas at least 60+ years and they have been rewriting it over and over again.

I have a 1943, 67, and 2003.

I especially love the part where they keep telling us that they recreated Adam , and to this day the ministers can not explain to me why, wow two Adams in the book of Genesis.

I use those books for research and boy was i surprised and more intrigued.

"I would suggest that God would know when to call his book "done".

But God didn't write it... humans did.

One of the best things anyone can do, is to have a Concordance to the Bible in their personal library. Then you can see the original Hebrew words, and decide for yourself what the interpretation should be.

I can remember 30 years ago when I confirmed for myself that most of the references in the book of Genesis of 'God', and other scriptures, were really "Gods", plural.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elohim "Elohim (אֱלוֹהִים , אלהים ) is a Hebrew word which expresses concepts of divinity. It is apparently related to the Hebrew word ēl, though morphologically it consists of the Hebrew word Eloah (אלוה) with a plural suffix."

God created a perfect system for the perfect world, humans created a sinned system for the unperfect world. If any of the christians have really read the bible, they would see that christians themselfs have screwed the bible.

I started reading it once but found it incredibly boring
Much better books out there than that
