[QUOTE="DragonFox91, post: 77375910, member: 432108"] Yeah, they're really interesting. I think it should be noted Christians are well-aware of their existence, & any narrative that tries to paint it as a group of shadowy figures throwing out books left & right behind locked doors 300 years after the fact, & that Christians today are dumb to their existence, is fantasy. For example, every few years the news cycle prints an article 'Book Deleted from the Bible FOUND' - although it's always a book Christians s/ be aware of. I've been meaning to pick up a couple books about them, Have only read articles about them, & read a few of them in their entirety, but working on spiritual growth at the moment, tho, it's definitely a fascinating topic. Also, OP, we have ancient manuscripts that predate King James. The KJV is a good translation, but we have sources older than that, & Christians were aware of the 'deleted' books well-before him, so I find it misleading or misinformed to say he decided what we should know & shouldn't know.
