It appears to me that King James and Constantine were responsible for the elimination of these books. Possibly censorship. Just something I've been thinking about for quite a while
Good questions. I don't have specific answers. The main issue for me will always be the Eternal Word of God willingly for our sake became the incarnate Son of God (being fully God and fully Man) and then by choice willingly subjugated Himself obediently to the Father and became the perfect permeant sinless sacrifice for our sins by His shed blood and death on the cross so that we could be reconciled to a loving, just, and holy God.
He rose again and conquered sin and death. He is the righteous Judge and King of Kings to whom all knees will bow and every tongue confess is Lord.
All this is the complete opposite of the evil (but often siren song appealing to our pride) example and offerings of Lucifer / Satan and his horde of demons.
The Ethiopian Orthodox Church has 46 books of the Old Testament and 35 books of the New Testament that will bring the total of canonized books of the Bible to 81. https://www.ethiopianorthodox.org/english/canonical/books.html#:~:text=The%20Ethiopian%20Orthodox%20Church%20has,of%20the%20Bible%20to%2081.
most Protestant Bibles contain 66 books (39 Old Testament, 27 New Testament), while Catholic Bibles contain 73 books
So who decided to not include certain books? Was it censorship?

Is there no true answer on that? Is there any good information on who King James was?

"incarnate Son of God (being fully God and fully Man)" which is what modern Jews totally reject.
