If they are not in the Bible they were not inspired.

who gave king james the authority to decide which books were?

God

where is it written that god gave king james the athority? what makes you think that?

if those other books are not inspired, then why are they revered in the bible?

Do some research and find out.

Do some research and find out.

i did my research, i have read dozens of the books and i believe that they are just as devine as the biblical books.

as far as king james goes, i see nothing that gives him any more than god has given me, and not even close to what god gave the biblical prophets. i take their word over his.

OK! Do you need permission to read them or what? Read them, study them.

Have you looked at the 1611 King James?

What must ask the question," what gives man the right to deny a book that is quoted from by Jesus Himself".?. The books where left out for the simple reason it would probably undo the power ( authority)of the "church" if they had being included. Jesus never gave His authority to the chuch, He gave it to those He chose, but it was Usurped. and as you can see, on the outside it tries to be like Him, but it does a terrible Job.

In His Love

You know, these arguments against the Bible really are absurd. You wouldn't know of Christ otherwise!

Either you believe that he did come in the volume of the book or otherwise it's a make-it-up-as-you-go religion just like all the others out there.

I THINK ITS QUITE A SHAME THAT THE " AUTHORITY OF THE CHURCH" TRUMPED THE WORD OF GOD

CHRIST "DID NOT" COME IN THE VOLUME OF THE BOOK. IF ONE REALLY NEW HIM, THEY WOULD KNOW THAT HE EXISTED LONG BEFORE "THE VOLUME OF THE BOOK"

 

[HammerStone]

Since when exactly does the word come mean origin? That's one heck of a strange conclusion to draw. Just curious.

no stranger conclusion that you came to when you said that "jesus came in the volume of a book"

I'm sorry you have an issue with me quoting Scripture found in both the "New" and "Old" Testaments.

There you go drawing random conclusions again.

Look, what you are referring to are some Books that were around at the time of Christ. Some were Jewish hymn books and others were will read story books every Jew was familiar with. The reason these were not included, is because the Jews do not include them or consider them inspired any more then wonderful literature today is inspired. You can certainly read them, but there is not much in the way of “doctrine” and they are not inconsistent with the Old Testament.
King James did not make the selection or really any Christian group.

many of these agnostic books were part of the early christion church and its canon (a couple 100 years after christ,s death) many are referenced in today's bible. they were taught and reverered until kinng james took them out.
that makes king james more religiously reverered than the earlier clergy. history does not refect that he was. if so, please direct.

I have a copy of the 1611 King James Bible, it has the Apocrypha.

 

[sniper762]

do you believe in what the 1611 bible says or do you go by the latter kjv and disregard the apocrypha?

Those are the "books" you are talking about? Wow
I am sorry, but which books where are refered to in scripture?
Few if any gnostic works were found with any Bible and agnostic works are not found at all.
Some writters from the third century refer to some gnostic works, but I do not trust those guys.

Snip,
Have you read those books that were left out? What do they say? Which ones are referenced in Scripture? Name them.
