Some of the omitted books are actually quite important historically. There are a few places in the Old Testament that are not properly supported by other books. It causes gray areas that can lead to misinterpretation, misunderstandings and historical inaccuracies. Those books are available but not much sought after. And that is a shame. When I was doing my research so that I could get a better understanding of what was being described in the Bible I really had to refer to other sources for clarification purposes. In the end, after 25 years, I really felt I knew what the Bible was relating to us. My interpretation and understanding of the words differ quite a bit from what is taught and accepted as truth by organized religions. My initial confusion began when I was 10 or 11. What I heard from the pulpit didnt always agree with what I read. Now, I am quite at ease with what I learned. My journey strengthened my Faith.

I agree with you about much of what you post here. I did not get the same message from the pulpit as I did by reading and learning on my own. I never did well in school for the same reason...
In the most base foundation, yes many other texts are needed to fill in the grey areas, I personally learnt from the journey seeking truth, yet like I stated, much of the information goes back to luciferin teaching, in my opinion. This is part of a continuation conversation from before in which the topic is about helping others as a means to become self aware. It is not to become "enlightened" through service to self. I hope this makes some sense, as to why I wrote what I did.
