Understanding the Impact of Missing Biblical Texts

Most of the time, my posts here come from something I posted on Facebook first. Then I copy/paste it here and add on. To tell the truth, unless my soul and spirit are stirred, I don’t write. I don’t want to write just to write. I have to get my eyes examined in a week. My left eye crosses when my lenses get weak, and it makes it difficult to see what I’m writing. I see double.

I have a lot to say. I could write about salvation and its need for this lost world. I’ve found in the last year, maybe two, a new view of what it all means. I could write about what is presently going on on the other side of the veil. There is a lot of activity there. I found this out by reading materials that were left out of the Protestant Bible. The Book of Enoch has taken me there. The Protestant Bible has tidbits that reference the Book of Enoch.

I have studied the politics that went into forming the sixty-six-book version of the Bible. Yes. There was a good deal of politics involved. I figure there should be at least eighty-eight books. The reason it isn’t this way is that these extra books explain spiritual things that scared the elite of those early days. They knew the common people, knowing what was in those scriptures, would strip them of their power over people.

There is the Ethiopian Bible with 88 books and the Catholic Bible with 72 books. But they were hidden from the general population. Thank goodness for revelation that was given to Martin Luther and others that tore that wall down. Then Gutenberg came along with a method to put the Bible into mass production.

Printing was a factor in the Reformation. Martin Luther‘s Ninety-five Theses were printed and circulated widely; subsequently he issued broadsheets outlining his anti-indulgences position (certificates of indulgences were one of the first items Gutenberg had printed). Due to this, Gutenberg would also be viewed as a proto-Protestant.[73] The broadsheet contributed to the development of the newspaper. (Wikipedia).

Then there is the present-day view of heaven and hell. Both are highly mistaken for absolute truth. There will not be an eternal place of burning called Hell. It will be thrown into a Lake of Fire along with Death as stated in the Book of Revelation. So the preaching of “turn so you don’t burn” won’t work for me. It should not for you. As far as judgment for the righteous was a real eye-opener for me. God will judge the righteous, but not to determine their good or bad deeds. They will be judged to determine their place in the Kingdom of God so as to be placed in their best service to God. What we do here as Christians will determine our place there. With that thought, it behooves us to do our very best to serve God to the best of our abilities here and now.

I have so much more to say, but I’ll let you chew on that for now. If you have a question, feel free to inquire. Reply to this post, and I will attempt to answer. God wants you to shine your brightest. There is no reason to not want to.

About JimR, Chaplain

I'm a 75-year-old guy, in October 2025, who worked in Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune for 28 years and now retired as of 31 Dec 16. I've worked in medical records, the Health Benefits Department, Billing, and the IT department and retired as the Personnel Security Manager for the hospital. I'm a musician and Corvette enthusiast. Yes, I have had two. I traded my second Corvette for a Harley Davidson Fat Boy in mid-summer 2019. Then in 2024, I traded to an HD FreeWheeler FLRT. I've already ridden the new one a thousand miles in 6 weeks. I'm also searching for a fresh new outlook on life with new spiritual insight among other things. I was ordained a minister in 20190202. I've become certified with the American Chaplaincy Association through Aidan University in June '21. Presently, I am a volunteer Chaplain with our county Sheriff's Office. I've found that with the unconditional love of my companion, Libby Rowe life is complete through God. She's a beautiful, vibrant, giving woman who gives her all in everything she puts her mind to do. She and I married on 24 July 2015. She was ordained in February 2022. She has a blog too called Under a Carolina Moon. Give it a visit.
