Hola! It's been a great week. I am amazed at how fast time has gone by the past few weeks and even months. On one hand, I am so ready for graduation and my birthday, but then again, I am honestly afraid about all the changes. I started going to a new youth group recently and I have made some new friends. None of which are seniors...Therefore, I will leave, and everyone will still be in highschool world. Which I suppose I wish I could stay in for just one more year. Seriously. But then I remember I need to focus on God's will. He is obviously teaching me things, and I need to be open to changes in life. That is what life is all about, right? It changes and you just need to go with it. I guess I would be a sad, sorry, immature person if I was stuck in highschool forever. And I guess I will be able to keep those same friends. Just not hanging out at youth group. Sorry for rambling. That was all a thought out loud type of thing.

Questions??? Can anyone give some information, thoughts, insight, statistics, quotes, etc. on any of this.

*Edit-After Rabenstrange's comment*
I am disgusted at my own lack of knowledge on the subject. I would like to read up on it a bit.

To clarify: there are multiple manuscripts of books of the New Testament. And it is kept out because they believe it was not inspired, evidenced by the fact that it is not in all manuscripts?

Lillith-first wife of Adam. Has anyone ever heard of this? I don't believe it, but someone mentioned it the other day.

Judas-Why did he do what he did? Some believe he was possessed, some think he was never a Christian. Did he just make BIG mistake? Did he go to heaven? Did he have free will in all of that?

Apocryphal books/Matthew 18:11 I believe it is. Why do certain mystery people think these books/verses were not inspired?

So, any thoughts, let me know!
