By the way, does it matter if these here "plates" were found in a sealed mayonnaisse jar on Funk and Wagnal's back porch??

Seriously? Uh, yeah ... a mayonnaisse jar didn't exist back then. First we determine the age of this find, to see if it's authentically that old. Then, we read what it says; because the Bible has been edited and re-written over and over for nearly a thousand years. Books have been discarded (17 books are 'lost', if memory serves). The Bible as we know it today, contains about 80% of the books mentioned in the bible. We are missing a lot; what was in these missing books, no one knows.

It most certainly did!!! However, it was kept with the 17 "lost" books of the bible! And so, it too was lost.

But now it's been found!

On Funk and Wagnal's back porch!

But not hermetically sealed!

Forgeries all!

The Bible wasn't the Bible until it was canonized in 350 or 400 AD. Before then it was a collection of discreet manuscripts.

My understanding is the council responsible for the canonization applied reasonable tests to what would be credibly included.

The book which were omitted did not meet the standards of reliability they had established.
