HistoricalPropheticPoeticProseRevelatoryStory FormParablesThose are in the books of the Bible and the parables stand out in the Gospels because they are not in other books of the Bible. The Son of God was the only one to use Parables (stories with a lesson).
The Gospel of Thomas and many other gospels were ommited from the Bible. Also, the Book of Tobit, the Book of Judith, the Book of Esdras I and II, and many more.
The 4 Gospels are the most important. Other books Please refer to Link.
A:By and large, the teachings of the Catholic Church are based on the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and, to a lesser extent, John. It was therefore natural to select these as the gospels to be included in the Catholic-Orthodox canon. The other gospels differ in important ways from Catholic teaching and could never be considered for inclusion in the Catholic Bible. Also, although no gospel was really written by any of the early apostles, the other gospels were all written later than the gospels now in the New Testament, with the possible exception of the Gospel of Thomas. Roman Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church considers the Revelation of God to be complete in the person of Our Blessed Lord, therefore It considers the end of Revelation to be at the death of the last Apostle. At that time, public Revelation, of which the Bible is a part, was complete and can never be added to, or changed. The Catholic Church does not have the authority from God to re-examine the books of the Bible.
AnswerThe Catho;ic Bible contains some of the books that were rejected by the Council of Jamnia as non-canonical, as well as late additions to the Books of Esther and Daniel. Unfortunately, no Bible will contain all the gospels that were never included in the New Testament, or the Didache and other works that were once considered inspired but for various reasons were not included. Translations of some of these can be obtained from other sources.
No gospels were taken "out" of the original Bible. This is a claim that is central to the books by Dan Brown, but has no basis in fact. There are other books that are labeled Gospels, such as the Gospel of Thomas, which were known in some parts of the early church but never given the same status as the canonical Gospels. Here is a link to some information about the set of these gospels known as the Gnostic gospels if you wish to do some further reading. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnostic_gospels
It can be found in the gospels.
The Hebrew Bible contains twenty-four books which are divided into three parts: the five books of Torah, the Nevi'im, and the Ketuvim. On the other hand, the first part of the Christian Bible is the Old Testament, which contains the twenty-four books of the Hebrew Bible that are divided into thirty-nine books. They are also ordered in a different way than the Hebrew Bible's books.
When Paul wrote his 13 letters in the New Testament, other books in the Bible had already been written by various authors. Some of these books include the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John), Acts, and other epistles like James, 1 Peter, and 1 John.
Ummm... Similar to what, exactly? There are different versions of the Bible, in the sense that several Christian groups (and a few non-Christian groups, such as Judaism) differ in what books they consider to be "canon", that is, what books are included in the Bible. Other religions (non-Christians) have their own Holy Scripture, but those are different books, and they are not called "Bible". You would have to make up your own mind as to how "similar" you consider them to be.
