Its just a thought im not hear no tread on anyones religion.:thumbsup:
It's all man's writing. I have yet to be convinced that there is any divine substratum to these stories. Why would God write a story that he knew would be corrupted and to future generations would look like something no god could have written?

By the way, if you're looking for cool texts they left out of the Bible, check out The Apocalypse of Peter. It was part of most of the earliest Christian Bibles, but eventually they took it out because it describes in graphic detail the torments that the damned suffer in Hell. As a consequence, the Bible now says very little about Hell. But the ideas of the Apocalypse of Peter were powerful. They influenced Dante's Inferno and other popular visions of what Hell is like, and a lot of them survive to the modern day, even though the churches do not recognize it as officially part of the Bible.
