zerinus has pointed out that some epistles were lost as well, and history does say that. I wonder why God didn’t bring those back?
God has said that He will eventually bring everything back, lots more than those.

zerinus
 
I have to ask.

When did he say that . . .
He has said that in many of the revelations and scriptures that He has given to us.
. . . and when will he do that?
He will do that in His own time and way. It is not for us to know “the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power” (Acts 1:7).

I am at a loss as to how Acts 1:7 is interpreted to mean that our Lord said that God has said that He will eventually bring everything back and lots more than revelations.

Acts 1 speaks of the Ascension of Jesus, making the assembled witnesses unto Jesus, the upper room, and the choosing of a successor to Judas. Acts 1:6 speaks of the assembled asking "Lord wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?" (italics mine) Acts 1:7 indicates And he said unto them “It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in His own power”

Which rendition of the bible are you referring to?
The Bible.
Catholic translation? the New American Bible? Protestant translations? KJV? the New Revised Standard Version? the New American Standard Bible? Need I go on?

Of course, translations, books included/excluded don’t really matter as long as they illustrate the pure teachings of Christ. These truths can be found in a variety of material and the spirit of Christ will help us to know when we have found them.

I believe that the Mormons use only the KJV (along with their Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great Price, and Doctrines and Covenants

The original KJV included the 7 Deutrocanonical books under a section known as Apocrapha. The 7 books were later removed.

The Bible is Catholic, all other Bibles are derived from it. This Bible, finalized by the end of the 4th century, is The Bible.

The New American Bible is the Bible I use, which is a translation into the modern English vernacular of our time.

The KJV is a Bible that was put together by the Church of England. All Bibles prior to then were written in Latin. The KJV is a translation into the modern vernacular of the time (thee, thou, was the modern vernacular of the time, not a special form of English to use when talking to God).

The point of this thread is, the books we’re talking about we’re removed from the KJV Bible.

That being said, I tend to agree with someone who told me best the Bible is the one you’ll read. Except there are concepts in the deuterocanonicals that throw a few Mormon beliefs right out the window.
