Simple. Some of the books probably were added to other books, and some were probably secular books.

***

Thank you I already address that

Sometimes called missing scripture, they consist of at least the following:

book of the Wars of the Lord (Num. 21:14);
book of Jasher (Josh. 10:13; 2 Sam. 1:18);
book of the acts of Solomon (1 Kgs. 11:41);
book of Samuel the seer (1 Chr. 29:29);
book of Gad the seer (1 Chr. 29:29);
book of Nathan the prophet (1 Chr. 29:29; 2 Chr. 9:29); prophecy of Ahijah (2 Chr. 9:29);
visions of Iddo the seer (2 Chr. 9:29; 12:15; 13:22);
book of Shemaiah (2 Chr. 12:15);
book of Jehu (2 Chr. 20:34);
sayings of the seers (2 Chr. 33:19);
an epistle of Paul to the Corinthians, earlier than our present 1 Corinthians (1 Cor. 5:9);
possibly an earlier epistle to the Ephesians (Eph. 3:3);
an epistle to the Church at Laodicea (Col. 4:16);
and some prophecies of Enoch, known to Jude (Jude 1:14).

To these rather clear references to inspired writings other than our current Bible may be added another list that has allusions to writings that may or may not be contained within our present text but may perhaps be known by a different title;

for example, the book of the covenant (Ex. 24:7),
which may or may not be included in the current book of Exodus; the manner of the kingdom, written by Samuel (1 Sam. 10:25);
the rest of the acts of Uzziah written by Isaiah (2 Chr. 26:22).

The foregoing items attest to the fact that our present Bible does not contain all of the word of the Lord that He gave to His people in former times and remind us that the Bible, in its present form, is rather incomplete.

Matthew’s reference to a prophecy that Jesus would be a Nazarene (2:23) is interesting when it is considered that our present Old Testament seems to have no statement as such.

There is a possibility, however, that Matthew alluded to Isa. 11:1, which prophesies of the Messiah as a Branch from the root of Jesse, the father of David.

The Hebrew word for branch in this case is netzer, the source word of Nazarene and Nazareth.

Additional references to the Branch as the Savior and Messiah are found in Jer. 23:5; 33:15; Zech. 3:8; 6:12; these use a synonymous Hebrew word for branch, tzemakh.

The Book of Mormon makes reference to writings of Old Testament times and connection that are not found in the Bible, the Book of Mormon, or in any other known source.

These writings are of Zenock, Zenos, and Neum (1 Ne. 19:10; Alma 33:3–17). An extensive prophecy by Joseph in Egypt (which is not in the Bible) is also apparent from 2 Ne. 3:4–22, and a prophecy of Jacob (not found in the Bible) is given in Alma 46:24–26.

These writings were evidently contained on the plates of brass spoken of in the Book of Mormon (1 Ne. 5:10–13).

Many like to edit Gal 1 to fit their scenario and ignore the Lord inquire to Paul through revelation.

Gal. 1 (Preachers of false gospels are accursed—Paul received the gospel by revelation—)

6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.

12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Paul did correct it, but after all were gone from the earth... there were Religious wars for almost 3 hundred years all during that time the manuscripts were in jeopardy, in-between that time now I am sure there were many good men at that council along with designs of men it is just the way things are played out on earth.

We live in a temporal situation the only way to protect the gifts the Lord gave us is through prayer and keeping his commandments.

No one every talks about those things are about trying to the will of the Lord there are Clear commandments the Lord gave how we are suppose to act as followers of the Lord and when we do those things all the rest fall into place.

There are things now creeping into history saying that representatives form Islam was among them... I don’t it is just strange it among the writings on the internet when one does a research. I did not look closely I have enough on my plate.
________

Most of all I want to make it clear I love the Bible I know it is the word of God, I know some places have been brought to life because of the Book of Mormon which testifies 0f the Bible.

It was the Bible, it is my benchmark that I knew the Book of Mormon was true. Because it is the same spirit that talks to me when reading the scriptures.

I also know there was more that Lord had for the children and someday it will be restored to the earth.

It will be the hand of God that will make that happen we are living in the times of the Restoration of all things.

***Sometimes called missing scripture, they consist of at least the following:****

WHAT JESUS SAID ABOUT HIS WORD! Three places.

Mat 24:35

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

Mar 13:31

Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

Luk 21:33

Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

Do you really think MAN can thwart what God has ordained?

Thank you I already address that

And then there are the DOZENS of replies in this thread that you DON'T 'address'.



No need to reply to THIS one, either; as the lurkers have probably already made up their collective minds about you and the rest of your 'friends' here.
