Well there's the rub, Aye? History says they were all burned. A funny thing about books is they have a way of surviving. Imagine some tyrant today gathering up all the Bibles and burning them all. Imagine ALL. It could never happen. I suspect,so it was in history. Keep in mind who wrote history and what his agenda was. They say history was written by the victors.
In any case, the Bible itself says that in the last days,knowledge will be greatly increased. And we see this all around us now, in every field......including the Spiritual. ........and the occult. So it's a dangerous place for New Believers. Newbes are like little children; ready to absorb everything as their new spiritual self awakens. It can even be dangerous for staunch believers and even Ministers. How many times don't we see upright men fall into chaos. The church is filled with failed ministries.
Anyway, yes, there are many,many ancient books coming to light; the vatican can't keep the secrets forever, God is awakening his children. The trick is to discern what's genuine from what is false. If you believe in a GodAlmighty, then you have to believe in his weaker adversary the devil. And that devil is working overtime with his evil congregation, to prevent Salvation of the Saints. I know that sounds hookey, but that's the way it is, in the Spiritual world And the spiritual world is about to erupt into the physical world. I believe the veil has already been pierced in some places. And yes, I realize how hookey that sounds too. But try and remember what the world was like, going back in just ten year increments. You old enough to to have seen 6 of those and remember at least 4. Remember the idyllic 60s and 70s. Life was good. Summer was summer and winter was winter, and nobody locked their stuff up.Remember those days? Girls were Girls and boys were Boys, homosexuality was almost unheard of. An hour's wages bought a lo of stuff. Divorce was a word on the distant horizon, and abortion was not in anyone's vocabulary. Remember those days. Contrast what you remember from those times with what you see all around you, and tell me evil does not exist. Tell me I'm imagining it or just plain nuts. Be honest; you cannot say that.
So if evil exists and is running rampant all over the face of the earth, today,how is this different from Noah's day? And you can argue against the timing if that flood, but you cannot argue against the fact that sometime in the past, a world-wide catastrophic flood event occurred; the evidence is overwhelming.
But don't fixate on the flood, but rather who caused it and why, and what is recorded about it in the Bible.But Hey, I get that what is stated in the Bible may not yet be believable to you. I totally get that. But if you can attribute all evil in the world today as works of the devil, then it behooves you to at least think about a more powerful Almighty God.
Cuz if you don't, it is written that your soul will perish forever and be remembered no more.
But if you do think about a CreatorGod, it could lead to you receiving the Power to become a Son of God. And that, thru obedience and love, can lead to eternal life in the coming New Jerusalem, and existence on the Newly-RE-Created earth under a Newly-created Heaven.
If this is all new to you, don't dig in your heals yet, with Spiritual eyes, this will all become clear to you. See God says His Word has been veiled to the unbelievers, the lawless ones, those that call satan their father. So what you say. Well to God there are just two kinds of people on this earth today; those that are going into the Nrew Kingdom, and those who will be destroyed. There are no, in-betweeners. Everyone however is given Free-Choice to choose Him. It's Free and it's easy, but requires a lifetime commitment. And it doesn't matter if you start at age 16 or 60, the reward is the same, life eternal.
So yeah, the books are out there. Most have been uploaded to the internet. Just type in lost books or missing books, of the Bible. I gotta warn you tho, if you're not rooted and grounded in the Bible, they can quickly turn you off. These books provide insight into who God is and why He does what He does. They are easy reading for a Believer, cuz they "illuminate" scripture. That is to say, whereas in the Bible, the stories are often condensed cuz it's sorta understood that the reader;understands the context or the bulk of an event, cuz the stories were written shortly after the events took place, so the memory of them would be fresh. But these books often go into the blood and gore of it. That may be partly why the burgeoning RC church left them out, so as not to scare new converts away, or so the new converts would be more pliable and brainwashable to their PAGAN ways.
So yeah they're out there.
Here are (cuz I'm anticipating your next question) just a few of them,
Book of; Enoch, Jubilees, Jasher, Giants,Adam and Eve,the Cave of Treasures, Maccabees, Wisdom of Solomon, various other Gospels; oh man the list goes on.
When the RC church assembled the first "Bible" there were hundreds of; letters,gospels,and books, being circulated among the New Christians; so much so that Paul had to warn against False Doctrines, being preached by Evil men already in his time. Paul says these men were in the flock, but not of the flock. Evil was already raising it's ugly head. The church either confiscated all unauthorized books, or burned them, and murdered those who with-held them.
And When the Reformers broke away from the RC tyranny, guess what, all the protest was on hierarchy, not on the Bible content,for the most part. So we end up today, with a reformed church that is still very much just another division of the Catholic Universal Church. No wonder churches are "flocking" to the one world religion coming out of the vatcan today; they are just rebellious children returning to the "flock". Whatever you do, stay away from the one-world religion.
That church is lost, destined for destruction. How can I say that? Cuz they have evil doctrines. The most Evil of which is SunDay Sabbath. Here is a truth; SunDay is not God's Sabbath.
Here is another; The Fourth Commandment is to remember the Sabbath.
Another; the Commandments are a set. It's not ten individual commandments; rather a one-law of ten precepts, written on two stone tablets making it impossible to forget. God Himself wrote it.
Another,, If you break just one of those precepts then in God's eyes you are guilty of breaking them all. Ouch.
Another; If you break the Commandments of God, you are deemed a lawless one. Now, you can ask God for forgiveness and repent of it, for God knows we are weak and subject to making mistakes from time to time. And then You're back in the Family. But make no mistake,God will not be mocked; If you remain lawless of your own Free-will, all the lawless ones will be destroyed on Judgement Day.
Since the RC church rebelled nearly 2 millennia ago,they have never repented of their evil act, they.......... will........burn.
This is not AJ's opinion. This is an argument based on logic; if/thens. If you do not repent, then you burn.
You may think this is harsh, but consider this; God created us, He owns us, He can make the laws whatever he wants. I know, if you're not a believer this carries no authority for you. But you Barbee already see God in nature all around you, you said so. You're eyes are already opened; your spiritual eyes. So you Barbee already know there is a God. For you Barbee, there remains only to submit to that God's authority. Make the Freewill choice. Accept the Power to become a Son of God. Freewill choose.
