I realise that. But I also realise that man selected what went into the bible and man selected what wouldn't go into the bible. I also have developed an interested into why things were included or omitted. Because as far as I know, there is nothing in the bible that says how a bible should be compiled. I think it's an interesting little diversion to find out how it was all decided

God decided what would be canon and not canon. Men were guided by Gods spirit. Thats why!

Take some loving advice and stick to Gods word. Thats all you need .

It is all we need, but until we let go of 'why we need to know why' some are going to look at what's available. Doesn't mean we are accepting it as truth. We're human and we're curious.

Allan, You will hopefully learn what most do; the answers you REALLY need to FULFILL God's will for YOU, are in God's word. We can't force it. No matter how gently :)
