Like it is said in the book of 2 Timothy 3:16 that "All scripture is given by inspiration of God," which means, what we have now as the Bible is all we need.Sushan wrote: ↑01 Jun 2020, 20:11That is reasonable. So the bible might have been more lengthy in the early days of writing it?AmyMarie2171 wrote: ↑01 Jun 2020, 16:12 I don't think the two are connected at all. If the Bible had included every detail about every story beyond what is absolutely critical, then we'd never be able to finish reading it. Since the Bible was put together by councils who chose what would be canon, we know that some of what was originally written was left out. Nevertheless, 2 Timothy 3:16 says that "All scripture is given by inspiration of God," so I tend to believe that what is in the Bible now is complete due to divine inspiration.

Yes, I did feel that, but I realized that those supposed missing information were not worth it, if they were, they would have been inspired into the bible.

I agree!
As it is fiction, anything goes. Adding or subtracting to or from the bible in the book is of no real world consequence.

I agree, seeing that the book is fictional so it has no bases of comparison with the bible.

I know a church that does that.
But also, the book is fiction, it's all about the author's imagination.
