Scriptures and Bibles

 Scriptures, holy scriptures but not found in the Bible: 

* Tobit - one major early church council made it mandatory to read it in the churches 

* Enoch - Jesus referred to it as scripture, NT quotes it

* Jubilees - along with Enoch, it was widely read and regarded as scripture in the time of Jesus

Remember that at one time books such as Revelation and the epistles of John were not in the Bible and were even banned. Some other genuine Christian cultures have Bibles with many extra books. Could Western Christians actually be in error because their Bibles are too limited so they never get to read important truths?
