Banned From The Bible II - The History Channel 03 of 12

What was left out can teach us much about what remains.

BANNED FROM THE BIBLE 2 travels back to the blistering sands of the Holy Land, into the onion-domed chapels of Eastern Orthodox churches and the pages of the Koran on the trail of the chapters that were left out of the ultimate version of the Scriptures. In the first installment of this groundbreaking special presentation, BANNED FROM THE BIBLE pored over eight extracanonical texts to discover the foundation of the early Christian Bible and the intent of its creators.

As the series continues in this fascinating DVD, still more of these revealing omissions are brought to light. With the guidance of renowned scholars such as Kenneth Hanson, author of The Lost Gospels and Rabbi David Copeland, discover the Testament of Solomon, the legend of Lilith, the story of Aseneth, the complete saga of Daniel and gain insight into the Apocrypha, the so-called "hidden writings."

BANNED FROM THE BIBLE PART 2 vastly expands our grasp of one of the most important texts in human history. Understanding what was left out of the earliest Bible gives us critical tools for analyzing the Scriptures as they have reached us today.

These sound like bad fairy tales

[MorinaLucine]

Lillith is a great symbol for women. they did not want women to think they were equal to men and destroyed any thought of it by portraying her as a "demon". Terrible. Women are Equal to men, Men (not all men, I dont hate men, using it as a general term) had a problem with it because they are power hungry and only wished to dominate.

@edwardschlosser1 No use explaining it to christians or catholics, they've been brainwashed and are ignorant.

@edwardschlosser1

Don't call foolish what you don't understand, you're a divided being,

filled with conflict, victim of pain and sorrow.

"You think you know who you are", but, you're not.

find out who you are first,

then decide how to use your failed intelligence.

peace.

[AnomalyZero]

You are all fools. You can't possibly prove or disprove anything. Don't even say you can. Believe in God or not, it's that simple. Don't become an ass and try to apply your rotten comment to everyone else.

Oh who cares! The Quaran, and the hebrew bible are both good reads so why don't everyone just chill place you pride elsewhere and engage in this awesome wealth of knowledge from this cast of prominent theologians... Love love love this series

[edwardschlosser1]

Mankind made up dieties in his superstitions to explain the natural world before education and science began to explain the natural world through reason. All religions/superstitions are just foolish vestiges of our ignorant, primative past.

@ThePaxTube The Hadis makes a reference to these COPIES (the ones without the vowel points, which were burned) not VERSIONS. There was and is only ONE QURAN. Unlike the bible with its different number of books and different VERSIONS.

We still have the original and first copy of the Quran (at the Topkapi Museum in Istanbul),which none of the other faiths have.

[BasitRoy]

@ThePaxTube Caliph Usman resolved this issue by issuing standardized copies of The Quran with vowel points. This was to ensure that the Quran was recited and pronounced correctly in the original Dialect it was revealed in, the dialect of Quraish.

All the other copies, which were without the vowel points were collected and burned. This was to prevent the variant reading. The text was and is to this day the same.

[BasitRoy]

@ThePaxTube The so called other copies of the Quran had the same text as the present Quran. The Holy Quran was revealed in Arabic, in the DIALECT of QURAISH. The Arabs understood the Dialect and how to pronounce and recite the words correctly as it was their language.

However, as Islam spread. to other nations and the Non-Arab, who had no understanding of the Arabic language and DIALECT, they started to recite and pronounce the words differently.
