Yes, in fact many passages that were originally included in the bible were later taken out during revisions. I guess that missing period of Jesus from being an adolescent right up until his death was good enough for you weekend Christians huh? Never thought to research or look too deep into WHY there was never any information? Along with 500+ other missing books, texts and precepts?
Oh, there was...in fact there was QUITE a bit of detail about it. Of course though, it opened up more QUESTIONS than ANSWERS. The last thing the faith wants you to do is question anything...hmmm?
I went to Catholic School for 12 years, and was forced to study the bible for an hour per day 5 days a week. Along with other religions as well. When I asked the priest or deacon these questions, I was either simply not responded to or was considered a "disruption" in class.
You want to debate this? I see many "christians" on this site who are listeners of repeaters. Which means you listen to a repeater who listened to someone else. Form your own judgement and look at the facts so you can see the bigger picture.
"The "lost books" are part of the apocrypha, quasibiblical works not included in the official Bible. There are several dozen of these, dating from both Old and New Testament eras and exhibiting considerable variety in length, completeness, and credibility. A few of these were considered inspired in some corners of the early church but were ultimately excluded from the formal canon for one reason or another; the remainder, which account for the bulk of the material, have always been regarded as spurious by the mainstream church and include works condemned as heretical or fraudulent.
The homicidal-Jesus stories come from something known as the Infancy Gospel of Thomas. Several versions of the Infancy Gospel have come to light, dating back to about the sixth century AD; all are copies of earlier texts."

Murder:
When the Lord Jesus was coming home in the evening with Joseph, he met a boy who ran so hard against him, that he threw him down; To whom the Lord Jesus said `As thou hast thrown me down, so shalt thou fall, nor ever rise.' And that moment the boy fell down and died." (I infancy, Ch. XIX, vv. 22-24)
Blindness:
2:11 Then the parents of the dead boy went to Joseph and complained, saying, You are not fit to live with us in our city, having such a boy as that: 12 Either teach him that he bless and not curse, or else depart with him, for he kills our children. 13 [New paragraph in the oldest extant manuscripts] Then Joseph calling the boy Jesus by himself, instructed him saying, Why do you such things to injure the people so that they hate us and persecute us? 14 But Jesus replied, I know that what you say is not of yourself, but for your sake I will say nothing; 15 But they who have said these things to you will suffer everlasting punishment. 16 And immediately they who had accused him became blind.
Making inanimate objects come to life:
1:4 Then he took from the bank of the stream some soft clay and formed out of it twelve sparrows; and there were other boys playing with him. 5 But a certain Jew seeing the things which he was doing, namely, his forming clay into the figures of sparrows on the Sabbath day, went presently away and told his father Joseph, 6 Behold, your boy is playing by the river side, and has taken clay and formed it into twelve sparrows, and profanes the Sabbath. 7 Then Joseph came to the place where he was, and when he saw him, called to him, and said, Why do you that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath day? 8 Then Jesus clapping together the palms of his hands, called to the sparrows, and said to them: Go, fly away; and while you live rmember me. 9 So the sparrows fled away, making a noise.
The Infancy Gospel of Thomas
http://www.gnosis.org/library/inftoma.htm
There is a hidden doctrine in the bible, it shows that Jesus and Lucifer are actually one and the same.
The only place where Lucifer is mentioned is in Isaiah 14, and nearly every verse dedicated to him in that chapter can also be applied to Jesus:
The mythical Lucifer fell from heaven to earth and was made as weak as one of us - the same can be said of Jesus.
The name "Lucifer" means "morning star" - Jesus reveals he is the Morning Star in Revelations 22:16.
Lucifer claimed he would ascend into heaven and be like the most High, so did Jesus. But Lucifer would descend into Hell, BUT that's where Jesus allegedly spent the first 3 days following his crucifixion.
Lucifer does not open the house of his prisoners, Jesus himself is said to hold the keys of hell and death but most people don't know that. Guess what??? He has no plans to ever let his prisoners go free.
Lucifer is cast out of his grave like an abominable branch, yet Jesus is descended from the abominable branch of Jeconiah and is also cast from his grave???
Just some strange connotations to think about but we need to keep cleaning this mirror. Some nasty smudges over the centuries have really buried themselves in here deep.
Those are other sections that are parts of the "Lost Books of the Bible":
Enoch 39:3 A cloud then snatched me up, and the wind raised me above the surface of the earth, placing me at the extremity of the heavens.
Enoch 12:1 Before all these things Enoch was concealed; nor did any one of the sons of men know where he was concealed, where he had been, and what had happened. 2 He was wholly engaged with the holy ones, and with the Watchers in his days.
These are some writing from Pontious Pilate, who condemned Jesus and was a traitor to him:
Pilate Hears A Great Sound From Heaven The Heavens Illuminated Brighter Than Ever
13. The terror of the earthquake continued from the sixth hour of the preparation until the ninth hour; and when it was evening on the first day of the week, there came a sound from heaven, and the heaven became seven times more luminous than on all other days. And at the third hour of the night the sun appeared more luminous that it had ever shone, lighting up the whole hemisphere.
The Light Did Not Cease Shining All Night
17. And all that night the light did not cease shining. And many of the Jews died in the chasm of the earth, being swallowed up, so that in the morning most of those who had been against Jesus were not to be found.
The acts of Paul and Thecla
A Bright Cloud Accompanies Thecla
10:11 When she departed thence, she went to Seleucia, and enlightened many in the knowledge of Christ. 12 And a bright cloud conducted her in her journey. 13 And after she had arrived at Seleucia she went to a place out of the city, about the distance of a furlong, being afraid of the inhabitants, because they were worshippers of idols. 14 And she was led [by the cloud] into a mountain called Calamon, or Rodeon. There she abode many years, and underwent a great many grievous temptations of the devil, which she bore in a becoming manner, by the assistance which she had from Christ.
The Testaments of The Twelve Patriarchs
This actually ties into the Sumerian, check it out.
The Testaments of The Twelve Patriarchs are biographies written between 107 and 137 BC. They are said to have been written by a Pharisee. The life story of each of the Patriarchs is told in vivid detail; the good and the bad are related with brutal frankness. These writings had great influence on the New Testament writers. The Sermon on The Mount uses phrases from these testaments. Paul, too, borrowed from The Testaments of The Twelve Patriarchs. Again, this was very RELEVANT and OMITTED.
The Watchers Lusted After The Women Of Earth
2:18 For thus they allured the Watchers who were before the flood; for as these continually beheld them, they lusted after them, and they conceived the act in their mind; for they changed themselves into the shape of men, and appeared to them when they were with their husbands.
The Women Give Birth To Giants
2:19 And the women lusting in their minds after their forms, gave birth to giants, for the Watchers appeared to them as reaching even unto heaven.
The Testament Of Judah, The Fourth Son Of Jacob And Leah
The King, Achor, Was A Giant
1:18 Achor the king a man of giant stature I found, hurling javelins before and behind as he sat on horseback, and I took up a stone of sixty pounds weight, and hurled it and smote his horse, and killed it.
Beelesath, A Giant
1:22 And Jacob my father slew Beelesath, king of all the kings, a giant in strength, twelve cubits high.
There are plenty more too.
