There are many people who know much about writings that ae included and excluded from the Bible as we know it today, the various Protestant versions, RC and EOC versions; I am not one of those folks.
Perhaps my understanding of God's Word and how it became as it is today is over simplified for most minds, but this is what I believe. I believe the Word has been preserved by God no matter how many scholars may have thought to perhaps improve upon it or make it more understandable. No matter, it has come down to us today with overwhelming blessings in understanding for all peoples.
It is possible there are books missing. It is possible there are books that may not be necessary. If either is so, God will be certain to show mankind which are what be it His will.
The original King James translations included the Apocrypha. I do not know the reasoning for rmoving it from most Protestant Bibles, but it is certain whether it is included or not, it will make no difference in the Gospel as delivered by Jesus Christ in both Testaments. Nothng will change the Salvation process as taught in the Gospels of the Evangelists.
Perhaps I have contributed something here, and perhaps I have contributed nothing, but it is worthy of some meditation I think.
God bless all who are in Jesus Christ.....
