***Those books were NEVER part of the Canon.
Who CARES if some texts, putatively a "bible" were collecting dust in some camel-mongers toilet?***


They were all bound together in a book sometime in the 4th century, probably one of those Constantine ordered to be printed.

One could also think this (what you wrote above) of certain books not in the average English translation today.

The point is that the books you mentioned previously were never part of the canon of Scripture. Sure, they may have been bound together, but that doesn't mean they were ever part of the canon.

Do you have proof that they were part of an early canon? If so, could you provide that proof please?

(note, as you search for proof, you must find the word "canon" or "canonized" associated with the books you claimed earlier)
