Why does the Bible not include the other fifty gospels? Such as the gospel of Judas and the gospel of Mary?
I'm curious about why the Bible doesn't include the other fifty gospels, like the gospel of Judas and the gospel of Mary. Do you know why that is?
Yes, I do. The Bible only includes the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, which are considered the canonical gospels. The other fifty or so gospels were written by various individuals or groups and were not included in the Bible for a variety of reasons. Some were not widely circulated or were considered heretical by early Christian communities.
