anyway.. to me, bible is just a books containing severals books written by more than one authors.
Those books in the bible was chosen and collated by large group of Bishops. That's why there are others bible like Gnostic bibles which.
There is a book, The Gospel of Nicodemus, that record jesus's journey to hell and back as such which almost every bishops refused to include in bible because it show a way out.
The book of revealation was disputed in 100AD by Justin Martyr but accepted in 200AD by such like that.
Acceptance of the "disputed" NT books: Hebrews, 2 Peter, James, 2 John, 3 John, Revelation.
Rejected books, widely used in the first two centuries, but not considered part of the New Testament Canon shows list of rejected book.
I learned about that while watching "Banned from Bible" on History Channel.

There's a thread on "Lost Books of the Bible" on Historychannel.com
History Channel: THE LOST BOOKS OF THE BIBLE ...
You will notice that there are lots of books that are not in current bible. makes you wonder?
to me.. obviously... controlled by greed and corrupted Bishops of ancient times. makes you wonder if the current bible spoke the truth to you? missed out many others that may find other book in current bible false? who knows!
That's WHY I said it is not 100% truth!
makes me glad that I am secular humanist!
