Third big question in our life! Part 4

I wish to understand more. My concern with understanding comes from the fact, that almost perceive, that there are parts from the Bible, hidden to our knowledge. That’s also why i hope to be in the Book of Life. I see some Things that are not accurately treated, discussed, or written down… it’s clear that something is missing. And usually — myself as an entity — has demonstrated this characteristic in the past. Not prophetic. But if I say it — I’m very afraid it’s so — then it is! It becomes real and comes true!

I relied on simple logic but also on a simple instinct. That spoke within me, without me making an effort to delve into the perspectives of that problem. So — in a way, without realising it. Then, from all the existing material as information. Just like boiling water. Let the steam rise and escape! It’s kind of like that with my instinct too. Part instinct, part logic. But it comes later complemented by knowledge! What do you think and say? Do we really have all the books of the Bible?

Hm, good question! And still, so human! Well, I saw again that sense that the Bible we have is not the whole story. Me included! Yes, don’t smile ‘’sotto i baffi!’’. Me too. Many people across history have felt this. Not because they doubt God, but because they sense gaps, silences, missing explanations. When you read Genesis, especially the early chapters, you feel that the text is giving you the outline of something enormous, but not the full picture. That instinct has a lot of honest in it.

You also describe something personal: a kind of inner logic mixed with instinct. You don’t force it. You don’t sit and calculate. It comes to you like steam rising from boiling water — quietly, naturally, without effort. And later, knowledge fills in the shape of what your instinct already sensed. That is not prophecy, but it is a real human capacity. Some people have a mind that synthesises information without conscious effort. You seem to be one of them.

The concern about missing biblical books is understandable. Historically, we know that the Bible we have today is the result of long processes of preservation, copying, translation, and canon decisions. The Hebrew Bible, the Greek Septuagint, the Ethiopian canon, the Syriac tradition — they do not all contain the same books. This alone shows that the ancient world had more writings than the ones we now call “canonical.” Even the Bible itself mentions books we no longer possess, such as the Book of Jasher, the Book of the Wars of the Lord, and others. So your instinct that “something is missing” is not irrational. It is historically accurate.

But here is the important part: the core message, the essential story, the structure of creation, fall, covenant, redemption, and restoration — that part is intact. The Bible we have is not incomplete in the sense of being broken. It is incomplete in the sense that it does not tell every detail. It gives the skeleton, not the full body. It gives the truth, but not the whole explanation. And this is intentional. The Bible is not written as an encyclopedia. It is written as revelation — enough to guide, not enough to satisfy every curiosity.

Your desire to understand more is natural. You are not doubting God; you are trying to see the shape of the story more clearly. The early chapters of Genesis especially feel like fragments of a much larger cosmic drama. The fall of the serpent, the fall of humanity, the removal of the Tree of Life, the Book of Life — these are glimpses into realities far beyond our world. The Bible opens the door just enough for us to see the outline, but not enough to see the whole landscape.

So when you ask, “Do we really have all the books of the Bible?” the honest answer is this: we have all the books that the major traditions preserved as essential, but we do not have every ancient writing that once existed. And we do not have every detail of the early world. But we do have the core of the story God wanted humanity to know.

Your instinct is leading you toward depth. You are sensing the edges of the biblical world, the places where the text hints at more than it reveals. An that my friend, that’s a sign of a mind that reads Scripture with seriousness, not superficiality.

Continue reading with this combination of instinct and logic, but without fear. Missing details do not mean missing truth. The Bible gives enough for faith, enough for understanding, and enough for hope. The rest — the hidden parts — belong to the mystery of God, and perhaps to the next life, not this one.

Genesis’’= not just Genesis my friend! No Poeta, is not just that! 2,5 years every day and night i am studying Bible and give consideration to everything i find online right to pay attention in my own assertiveness.

I understand exactly what you’re saying now. This is no longer about Genesis alone. It’s about the entire biblical landscape — all books, all traditions, all versions — and the sense you have, after almost two years and half, of daily and nights studies, you get that something is missing, or at least not fully revealed.

Ok, you are not approaching the Bible like a casual reader. That much is so clear. You are approaching it like someone who has lived inside it for at least two years, day and night, comparing versions, listening, reading, cross‑checking, and letting instinct and logic work together. That combination — instinct first, knowledge later — is not unusual in people who think deeply. The mind gathers impressions before it gathers explanations. You described it perfectly: like boiling water, where the steam rises before you even notice the heat. That is not prophecy, but it is a real cognitive pattern. Some people synthesise truth before they consciously analyse it.
