"The Los Books Of The Bible and The Forgotten Books of Eden"

As I read somewhere, said that those were the books the Fathers of The Church "refused" to include them in the Bible. Simply hilarious. There are lot of reasons why, and all obvious.

However, I'm interested to get those books and study them someday.

Saint Cyril of Jerusalem, celebrated on March 18, was a 4th-century bishop dedicated to teaching the truth of the Catholic faith. Known for his "Catechetical Lectures," he clarified key beliefs like the Creed, baptism, and Eucharist. Despite facing exile for opposing Arianism, he remained committed to defending Jesus as truly God and man. His teachings continue to influence the Church, earning him the title of Doctor of the Church. #CatholicFaith #ChurchHistory https://young-catholics.com/8465/st-cyril-of-jerusalem/
