Question:
Why were some books chosen to be in the Bible, and some were not?

Answer:

There were strict standards that were applied to each book to see if it exhibited God’s exact inspiration before it was included in the Bible.  We trust that the Lord has preserved His Word, and given us exactly the books He wanted us to have.  We know that there was not room in the earth to write down everything the Lord did while He was on earth.  (Read John 21:25.)
