Isn’t the Bible the Word of God? The WHOLE Bible?

Isn’t the Bible the Word of God? The WHOLE Bible?

But is the Bible the whole Word of God? It's a large text, but not THAT large. The Bible is a compilation. And that compilation was done by man (instigated by Constantine).

The History Channel actually had a fairly good program entitled: "Banned Books of the Bible". They were not necessarily banned because they contradicted the canon (some were), but there was no way to weave them into the narrative that is the Bible without compromising the flow they wished to establish. Either because they [other books] focused too much on other players and not the primaries. Such as Mother Mary rather than Jesus. Went off on a tangent, or because they were written too late after the fact, were simply unknown at the time, or any number of other reasons.
