I believe the God we serve, is intelligent enough to preserve the word just how he desired. For me, I know that my king james bible represents everything I need to live victorious. Although I think some of the texts you referred to are worthwhile for a mature christian to study.

He may have. The trick is how we humans can know which preserved books are His word, and which are not. (Not all ancient texts have vanished, after all.)

They are all in one Christian canon or another.

I haven't read them all, either. Not really that interested.
I've read a bit of the Book of Enoch. Kinda interesting, I guess.
Why do you ask, by the way? Does a book need a distinct message to be considered inspired scripture?
Um, just trying to relate this to something I heard:
that some Books were dropped just because they were redundant-
-while others were dropped for maybe like one verse astray.
I have to agree w/NLP here--even though it scares me somewhat to align
with anyone claiming to be a prophet.
The KJV is just short of a satanic mess, imo--I mean, "Easter," really?

I think the answer to this lies in seeing that
the real message does not lie in the words,
or the specific story. Easter was "Ishtar"
back then, and you were worshipping an idol.
Now, not so much.
Even a spirit-led person needn't read too far
in Scripture to find passages that really just aren't relevant now
(although they surely might become so again)

The Geneva Bible translated that verse of scripture to be "Passover". King James, I have read on various sources, was a pagan and a flaming homosexual. (Don't kill me dogwood for bringing that up )

Well of course that is what Easter attempts to counterfeit.
Flaming homo not surprised, they knight those types there.

Hmm. Spirit-led people who don't use the Bible. Interesting. I can imagine it would lead to a lot of diversity in where they are "led". (Not that using the Bible would unify them! )

Well, I might have put it differently, but ok. I might argue that we can't imagine where that will lead? And, if that scares you (2nd you), you are free to go parse hair or skirt length with the other lost people.
