Like you said, everybody has their own interpretation to fill in the blanks left by the bible just like the author did, and I truly don't think there's anything wrong with that just as long as you stay true to the message of the Bible. I don't think of the Bible as incomplete. I think that the Bible focused more on the spiritual aspects and message it was trying to convey.Sushan wrote: ↑01 Jun 2020, 10:06 The author gives additional descriptions, which are not found in the original Bible, to the story from creating Adam and Eve, up to the worldwide flood. Most of who has studied the Bible must have had his/her own thoughts regarding these lacking parts. Does this mean that the Bible is incomplete? On the other hand, is it righteous to add after-notes to a religious book like the Bible?

The Bible is a collection of records from the past. Records may not cover everything and so there's yet a lot one can discover using those records as a guide. I believe there's more that is yet to be discovered. I think it's okay if they are verified and meet a certain standard of authenticity. There is no religious law I know of that forbids it though, using one's imagination to better understand the Bible and stories of the past.Sushan wrote: ↑01 Jun 2020, 10:06 The author gives additional descriptions, which are not found in the original Bible, to the story from creating Adam and Eve, up to the worldwide flood.

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.
