The Bible we have is complete enough for the salvation of the souls who read and adhere in faith in Jesus Christ.

there is a difference between being "complete enough" and being "100% correct".

JD...do you believe that everyone is suppose to believe & practice everything written in the 80 books of the original canon?

I only know about the 66 Books.
Are you referring to the Apocrypha-- I thought these books were histories, without doctrinal teachings?


You are right in emphasizing the difference between "complete enough" and "100% correct".

I will not say that there is any part of the Bible that is incorrect.

I think there is a strong possibility of some mistranslations and/or misunderstandings of the Word of God, i.e. Mt 28:19.


However:

2 Timothy 3:15-17 (King James Version)

15And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

17That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
