Why doesn't the Bible show everything?

I always wanted to know, WHY doesn't the Bible show EVERYTHING that has been written (Ie: Phillip's writings)

I COULD say because tis a piece of propaganda, but I'll jsut stick with this, The Romans edited it and cut stuff out.

Yeah, there were originally a crapload of books, more than 80 I think... When the Romans compiled the version of the Bible we use today they took most of them out.

True, the works in the bible really are there as they support the official Christian doctrine regarding the Christine faith, where as other works, such as the Gnostic gospels are very much different from the "official" version.

the parts of the bible not included in the standard bible (but included in the greek orthedox - i think?) is the apocrypha.

The parts of it that was left out because of being more mythology than religion (plus early works like the book of enoch) is called the Pseudepigrapha

Yeah they picked through all the various books and decided what they wanted to give to the people as the holy word of god (censorship at its best) in order to make them subservient to their way of thinking.

Checkout the Council of Nicea:
http://www.columbia.edu/cu/augustin...randt/nicea.htm

Also checkout Straight Dope's research on the topic of who wrote the Bible? (Part 1 & 2)
http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mbible1.html
(A lot of reading is involved, enjoy.)

Edit: Side note, you may want to look at the info about Royal Library of Alexandria.
http://www.bede.org.uk/library.htm
(It was said that a Great wealth of world knowledge was lost during The Alexandrine War.

best instance of this is the Red or Dead Sea Scrolls, im embarassed to admit that im not sure which one it is, but they said things that went against what the church teaches, such as the need to go to church at all, they said something along the lines of ......lift a rock and you will find me, behind a tree and you will find me.......i know thats way off but the gen idea is there, it was jesus sayin that you need not go to a place of worship to lead a good life, you need only carry God/Jesus' ideals with you in your daily life......this of course would be detremental to the church which is....at its core......a buisness
