Did they find where Jesus tell James not to talk to the Russians..

Heh, fan fiction. Indeed, that’s what these are and why they were not included in the final canon.
To: freepertoo
Some are and some are actual history. They are not in the cannon because they were not inspired and never pretended to be.

It is said that in A.D. 325 the Roman emperor Constantine the Great, along with his mother, Helena, edited out sections of the Biblical texts, including the New Testament.

And James was stuck with having to remember a password.
He has my sympathies.

Any relation to this?
Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, presented the approved books of the New Testament to the world amid much fanfare and controversy in 367AD.

This sounds like something from the History Channel. These books weren’t “banned”, they were simply rejected for the canon. Books and Epistles were selected first by the criteria that they were written in times contemporary with Christ and the Apostles, not hundreds of years later. Ever so often someone comes up with the notion of banned books of the Bible. A lot of time and argument went into what was and what was not accepted into the canon of the New Testament.

People keep wanting to have secret knowledge. The root of fortunetelling and gossip. And Gnosticism.

Wait a minute.
I thought the epistles were the wives of the Apostles....

I don’t know, I’m no Biblical scholar.
I just remember hearing of the Constantine stuff.

Whatever it may be, it’s not a Bible book.

The Early Church Fathers knew what they were doing. To second guess them now is foolish.
