Is the Bible incomplete?

I believe that what's in the Bible is what we are supposed to know. Any other thing is not important. Also in the book of revelation we are told not to substrate from it.

True but I also think that everyone interprets the word differently and there's nothing wrong with thtya

No! The Bible isn't incomplete. It's the same case with having a guide explaining themes and characterisation in a novel. That doesn't make the novel incomplete.

Anyone can have different perspectives, otherwise, how can this discussion go forward?

Maybe,

Own interpretations cause no problem, provided that they do not differ from the original meaning and purpose

That is a nice way to put it. Any book can have a guide, even though the book is generally complete

I have a big volume of "Lost Books of the Bible" that were not included in the accepted canon. I find them very interesting. So I suppose I could argue that the Bible is incomplete. However, this book is a fictionalized re-imagining. Personally, I have no problem with that.

I would like to try those lost books. So it appears like there is much more that we don't find in the current bible

The book has been presented in fictional genre. This makes it difficult to do the comparison. However, the teachings from the Bible states that we shouldn't add or subtract anything in the Bible. According to me, Bible is complete.

I believe theBible addresses the nitty gritty. What we should know. Killing Abel is just a fictional book as it's based on the author's arguments and point of view. And yes, the Bible is complete!

No matter how it seems or is explained, the bible is definitely complete and enough for wisdom and knowledge sharing for everyone. Also, it doesn't seem right but not righteous for one to add after notes to the Holy Book. It goes to say the Bible needs edit which doesn't sound right nor seem justified to do.

The Catholic Church insists that the Bible does not contain all truth and therefore it alone cannot be our rule of It's true that some people say we have an incomplete Bible because it appears we might be missing some letters written by the apostles. Are there books missing from the Bible? Bodie Hodge, AiG–U.S., looks at some of the claims that other books should be included and shows

I do believe the Bible could be incomplete and might be missing passages!

I'd say the difference is like that of a movie versus a tv show. A movie doesn't have time to waste in telling it's story, so all the story points have to be to the point. However, a tv show has a whole season to throw in extra fluff that sometimes adds to the story, but sometimes it takes away by reducing the open interpretations that can be drawn. Both are complete as works, but have there own expectations. Audiences expect movie to stay relevant or people get upset. I site the Star Wars VII's subplot to find a guy that ultimately gets the hero's nowhere. The bible is complete in a manner close to the movie, but it cuts out even more distractions from the story's message. Dramatic pauses, humor-filled dialogue, character's thoughts, and it tell its stories simply. Situation, Actions, and conclusion with details sprinkled throughout.

The teaching and instructions given in the book of revelations say that nothing should be included or substrated from the bible. therefore the bible is complete.
