Most of who has studied the Bible must have had his/her own thoughts regarding these lacking parts. Does this mean that the Bible is incomplete? On the other hand, is it righteous to add after-notes to a religious book like the Bible?
It's possible some things happened during those times, which the Bible did not capture. That does not make the Bible incomplete. We have everything we need in the Bible. Therefore, the Bible is complete.

Yes, the bible might not have captured everything

i think its complete because it is written and said by jesus anyone who add the words of god will be punish and anyone will reduce will be punish too. Meaning anybody who add and removed the words written in the bible will received great punishment and its not a joke it is happen even in our day today.

The last book of the Bible states categorically that nothing can be taken off or added to it. I believe the Bible to be complete

The bible itself says that it is wrong to add to or subtract from it. It is something like a copyright

this is so true, the bible is complete and if its incomplete a fictional novel shouldn't try to complete it whatsoever, because it is somebody's imaginations and creativity

Yes, a fictional novel cannot complete it, but it can suggest details for the completion

Yes the Bible is incomplete.
Alot of untold things and hidden things which makes me to wander why certain things were not revealed.
If you in the beginning of the earth, after the creation of Adam n Eve, we don't know how the population grew since we only know two sons were given birth to Adam n Eve .

The Bible is complete. This book is a fictional read and thus, it can't be used to compare the additions from it to the Bible.

There's no way that everyone's story discussed in the Bible is complete, as the Bible would have been much longer than it is if that was the case.

This is not true. Adam and Eve had Cain and Abel - correct. But, in Genesis 5 it is recorded that Eve gave birth to a third son called Seth. After this, it says that Adam and Eve had "other sons and daughters". At this time, Adam and Eve's children married each other. Though it sounds weird to us, it wasn't to them. Now you know.

The Bible is not incomplete. In all history books, does the author cover every little thing that happened in one year? No, he takes the things that are most important and that move the book forward. The Bible is a historic literary piece of truth. The goal of the Bible was not to account for everything that happened in that time, but rather the WHOLE Bible tells one amazing, world edifying story. The story of God. How He sent His Son to come in flesh and lower Himself to be like us so that He may be killed so that we may live. The whole Bible points to this MONUMENTAL happening. If there are things that aren't covered (which I am sure there are) it is because they have no importance to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. They are minor details that aren't as important to the telling of Jesus' story as others. They don't NEED to be told. The story of Jesus' death and resurrection is a story that NEEDS to be told. To compare the Bible to a fictional book that is the imaging of an author's ideas is stupid.

The Bible is complete because my Lord, Jesus Christ, says it is. Even if I had no evidence, I would still believe this.

Even though I believe the Bible is "complete" (in the sense that it offers all a Christian would ever need), your comment on focusing on the significance of the Bible hits the nail on the head. I also believe this is what is most important.

That ia true. Every religion says what they say is true. So what to believe? It is what you believe what is correct

That is a good point. There was no mentioning about any daughters

The suggestions are author's mere imagination. But they are the possibilities for what would have happened, yet the bible has no saying about
