I know there is disagreement on what should have been canonized. I know that men are fallible. So yes, perhaps there are some books missing that should have been. But to me, that probably wouldn't change the essence of the Bible, which is this: Man is fallen (tracing back to the sin in the garden of Eden), man can never completely fulfill the law which is required for relationship and eternal life, and God sent his only Son (fully human, fully God) to earth to fulfill the law and sacrificially die as the payment for all of our sins. The gospel of Jesus is man's hope for a better tomorrow, one beyond our death. To me, that is the good stuff, the best stuff. There is a huge preoccupation with how to make life better on earth, but this earth is temporary. Our lives here are a grain of sand on the beach of time. All that to say, I'm not worried about missing a few books of the Bible.
In the Old Testament, the Jews did wrongly worship other gods and they were punished for it. God desired that they only worship Him.
