I especially liked the fact that you said before the canon was "closed." I personally do not believe in a closed Canon of scripture. Truth be told, there is no scriptural support for this.

Elaine,<br />
<br />
The Nicean Council was not in existence until the 3rd-4th centuries. Certain books, such as the Letter written by James, almost did not make the cannon because the so called "Church Fathers" considered it not true to the original teachings of Jesus. They claimed that James letter preaches works salvation. But this is not true. James promotes LIVING faith, rather than dead faith. James also promotes the LAW, rather than lawlessness.<br />

Hi that's a interesting question. Let me say, that the Nicean Council back in 33 something A.D. are the ones who compiled the 66 books chosen to go into the Bible. From the information I've read the reason they left out certain letters, including those you mention is because they found conflict within them with regard to the original message of Jesus. That said, the various letters, including those you made mention of, are used by scholars to give insight on some of the pervasive habits and…
Hi that's a interesting question. Let me say, that the Nicean Council back in 33 something A.D. are the ones who compiled the 66 books chosen to go into the Bible. From the information I've read the reason they left out certain letters, including those you mention is because they found conflict within them with regard to the original message of Jesus. That said, the various letters, including those you made mention of, are used by scholars to give insight on some of the pervasive habits and mindsets that existed back then.<br />
<br />
However, the apostles throughout their various letters spoke of 'heretical' teachings that were being passed around at that time. The Nicean Council of 33 something A.D. found that some of that misinformation was in the very books you named. In fact, within the entire what is called, "Lost Books of the Bible" and Apocrypha.<br />
<br />
Yet, like you pointed out, many of the lost books are enclosed in Bible's foreign lands. For instance, the Ethipia Bible contains all of the Lost Bible books. For sure, that makes them have a unique mindset and disposition about spiritual matters. Is it wrong in God's eyes? I don't think so, I just think maybe it complicates their spiritual walk or, then again, maybe it doesn't. This is not true.

This is not true. The KJV was translated from the Latin Vulgate. It is a known fact that William Tyndale's work eventually found its way into the King James Version (or "Authorised Version") of the Bible, published in 1611.

I think that this is the answer to the question you are looking for! There is no way to have a Bible with an exhaustive concordance in it. The very best thing to do is pick up a concordance to go a long with the Bible that you use. Many concordances are keyed to Strong's numbering system. I hope that helps....<br />
Blessing.

Transliteration, a fine point and most definitive! We choose what and who we want...and the accepted Word says... and I paraphrase.... we get pastors after are own hearts.<br />
<br />
And if THOSE pastors are not after our hearts, or in agreement of what we CHOOSE to believe, we create our OWN!<br />

If you really want to get "technical" then consider these thing closely:<br />
<br />
-the KJV came ALSO from the use of the Latin translation as well as the original Greek Hebrew and Aramaic manuscripts.<br />
-the KJV has NOTABLE flaws within it, due to the limited understanding of that time and human error factors, thus making it simply A TRANSLITERATION.<br />

-If you want to get the PERFECT meaning of the word of GOD consider these two things: 1) PRAY while reading, allowing the HOLY SPIRIT to teach and guide you, 2) learn Greek and Hebrew for yourself (not required), and/or 3) learn of the culture at the time so the scriptures can come alive for you and you can relate, something the KJV translators neglected to do (not required, but HIGHLY useful)<br />

My friends, there is no such thing as the perfect transliteration from any language to English. This is not the flaw of the other language, for Greek and Hebrew are actually rated amongst the exact languages ever to exist. No this is the problem of English. Simply put, "ENGLISH IS A MUT"! English has nothing pure about it. It has borrowed from almost every tongue in existence, including Greek and Hebrew. You want a perfect transliteration from Grek and Hebrew, languages deemed to be the fathers of current tongues today, to English, which is the scrap-book of modern speech?? HAVE FUN TRANSLATING!! This has nothing to do with GOD ability or limitation, but Americans and English speakers everywhere!
