Do you know how the Bible was created? The Bible was compiled over many years,
and still many more arguments. The Bible as it exists today was assembled
from many of the Christian writings that were available during the time. Much
of what was available did not make it to the Bible. With Good reason the makers
of the Bible wanted to keep ungodly writing from the Bible, and there were other
reasons that so much did not make the Bible.
Some simply burned writings they felt should not be in the Bible, others protested
about certain writings being in the Bible. The Epistle of Barnabas lost out
to the book of Hebrews so it was not included in the Bible.
Thankfully today many of those lost scriptures are available because people have
painstakenly translated the writings into the English language.
- God said to seek Him

Faith comes by hearing. Do you know the word of Yehweh? Sure you can
recognize biblical scriptures, but do you know the word of God?
When Yeshua spoke He was teaching a new message to the Israelites and some believed
while others did not. Those who believed could recognize the word of God while those
who did not believe could not recognize the word of Yahweh. The Rabbi's
back then, equivalent to our pastors today, were telling people not to believe our
Lord.
So how can you tell if something that is not in the Bible is inspired by God?
You have to have faith and let the Holy Spirit guide you. Trust that you know the
word of God.
You will find many early Christian writings here. Let the Holy Spirit be your
guide.
