Banned From The Bible II - The History Channel 11 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.

Jesus is like dumbledore and judas like snape

@lizardman22tag none of the bible was written from firsthand accounts; the first writings about Jesus appear only decades after his death. The canon of the New Testament was decided at the Council of Nicaea, convened by Emperor Constantine to unite his political empire, and the texts were selected by men with free will. Words like "truth" and "fallacy" used in regard to canon are not applicable.

This is all interesting information, but these books and texts are not in the bible for a good reason. Almost all of them were written long after the New Testament books, long enough for them to not be authentic...It is still nice information to know, so that we can tell new Christians what is truth and what is fallacy.

Oh my god... Christ showed a young man the mysteries of the kingdom of God... What was the secret? Hmmm... We can only wonder...

The Catholic Church is following the way of Christ after all.
