I am well aware that these are not included in the canonical Bible, and I am sure God had a reason for this, However, a lot of other edifying materials, such as Gospel tracts, personal testimonies, and other edifying materials are not either, therefore, through the gift of discernment, we can also read certain text that are not in the Bible and see whether or not they are Biblical in context or preach another gospel, for I happen to believe the events recorded in these texts are true! Of course I do not know 100%, but they do not seem to be telling lies, and I do not think that a non believer could come up with these things not having the Spirit of God. And since a none believer cannot come up with these things, but only a believer, I then conclude that a believer would not sin against God by being a false witness.
Also, to shun these merely for not being in the Bible is hypocritical in my opinion, since most modern "Christians" will gladly entertain unbiblical tv shows, music, novels other explicitly unbiblical materials.
Along with that, I personally found these materials to be edifying, which is why I posted them.
Having said that, I do urge you to see for yourself whether or not this is of God and then judge. I do not post, nor read these for "scholarly" knowledge as most university theologians do. I seek to learn more about my faith and the patriarchs of it to walk as much as I can according to the Truth, and I hope you read these with the same motive. If in any way you feel that the text posted here is not true, and not of God, I by all means encourage you to contact me (keep7up@hotmail.com) and we can sort things out. Apart from that...
