    god knee-mailed them down..seriously it's the divine word of god , inspired by god any more or any less would be considered dogma..

    Cherry picking.

    Dead right Colleen, as usual. There are many books of the Bible which have been suppressed by the Vatican as they contradict established doctrine.

    Any good book can be contradicted by writers that don't agree, thats why some book are not considered, they are not inspired by God.

    How can anyone truly decide which books were inspired by God and which weren't? I think everything in life is inspired by God. I believe a bunch of crusty old men decided what the sheep would read in order to keep the herd well controlled.
