Do you believe what the Bible says about there being lost/missing Scripture?
The book of Nathan the prophet, the book of Gad the seer. ( 1 Chronicles 29:29)
The epistle from Laodicea ( Colossians 4:16)
And of the things which Jesus did, John said if they should be written every one, I suppose even the world could not contain the books that should be written. ( John 21:25)
Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LORD, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon, ( Numbers 21:14)
And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. ( Joshua 10:13)
And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon? ( 1 Kings 11:41)
Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not written in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer against Jeroboam the son of Nebat? ( 2 Chronicles 9:29)
Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer concerning genealogies? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually. ( 2 Chronicles 12:15)
If there is lost/missing Scripture, than there must be more knowledge of the Gospel of Jesus Christ on this planet.
I believe the Bible and the Book of Mormon because the doctrines therein are the same, nothing waving.
Otherwise, I would not believe the Book of Mormon.
The Bible is my main source for truth.
I there are other writings claiming to be of the God of Israel, I will certainly take that into consideration and compare the doctrines to what the Bible says and if there is a contradiction, I will know the doctrines are not of the God of Israel.
Certainly, the Bible talks about lost/missing Scripture.

Absolutely not. And whoever preached that needs to be walked out of any ministry.
2 Chronicles 9:30 & 31 talks about the death of Solomon. If there was something here that God wanted us to know about Solomon being "judged" or given reason to have gone to hell -- it would be right here:
"And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years. And Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead."
We learn more about Solomon's wisdom from God, testimony and sorrows in Song of Solomon, most of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes.
How could someone read that and say "Solomon went to hell?" My guess is this is one of those (of which I've unfortunately seen in this site's discussion) who deny eternal security. This is probably one of those people who believe we're not really born again and need works to maintain Salvation until death by misquoting scripture (by the way, that's a mixture of false teachings from the Roman Catholic church and Calvinism). What they've done (the popular preachers today and here) is frustrate the Grace of God and this leads them to believe "oh, did you read about what David did in the Bible? He backslid and lost his Salvation. He might have died and..."
Rebuke them with sound doctrine and stay far from them. They are wolves.
In response to Naomi Thompson/Chris with regards to missing books of the Bible. I agree with Chris' response to the possible missing books that are referred to. I would also like to add John 20:30, 31. There were many other things that were written, but what God gave us is sufficient for anyone to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you might have life through His Name. May the Lord bless our hearts in Christ name.
Thank you for helping to bring up questions others may have in their hearts.
May the Lord continue to shine His face on the Brethren and that we are blessed and a blessing unto others. October 5, 2021
1 Kings 4:26-How can this verse say Solomon had 40,000 stalls when 2 Chronicles 9:25 says he had only 4,000 stalls?
Problem: In recording the prosperity of Solomon, this passage states that he had 40,000 stalls of horses for his chariots. However, 1 Chronicles 9:25 affirms that Solomon had only 4,000 stalls for horses. Which one is right?
Solution: This is undoubtedly a copyist error. The ratio of 4,000 horses to 1,400 chariots, as found in the 2 Chronicles passage, is much more reasonable than a ratio of 40,000 to 1,400 found in the 1 Kings text. In the Hebrew language, the visual difference between the two numbers is very slight. The consonants for the number 40 are rbym,? while the consonants for the number 4 are rbh (the vowels were not written in the text). The manuscripts from which the scribe worked may have been smudged or damaged and have given the appearance of being forty thousand rather than four thousand.
I'm not sure that one could say that these books (as you have quoted) are missing from the Bible. They could either not been available at the time to be included, maybe missing, or they may have been available but not deemed worthy to be incorporated with the rest of Scripture. I don't believe one can assume that those books were forgotten about or escaped the attention of those who canonized the Bible. Is this what you mean?
Yes there are missing books in the Bible. 1 Chronicles 29:29
Now the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer,

Christ Magnified Glorifying Jesus on 2 Chronicles 9 - 6 years ago
Day 107 of Bible in a Year Reading. Solomon had everything; money, power, wisdom and early on he had faith that seemed lasting. It is sad to note that everything that is depicted here in this chapter and two previous chapters was forfeited by Solomon and his family for what Solomon later called vanity. From the smoke of God's glory filling everything to everything going up in smoke. Tears.
2 Chronicles 9:15 (cont.) the world AND the churches are filled with idolators prophesying out of their own imaginations about what all are the "signs of the times." As the servants of God and Ambassadors of His holy Glad Tidings and the Name of Jesus among the Nations; it is utterly irresponsible to GUESS at how to interpret the times, and what Scriptures mean. If we do His will we will know!
"Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and threescore and six talents of gold;" 666 has a real meaning and is NOT something we should be superstitiously afraid of. Basic research into the archaic meanings of the words in Hebrew and Greek show us that the sixes represent over what's normal, tens and hundreds imply the multiplicative; thus an overflow w/o restraint!
Eric; King Solomon in all his wisdom and glory was made to be a type of the glorified Christ reigning over all Israel and the world. It was very terrible betrayal for him to let himself be consumed with going after strange women so that he forsook the LORD when he was old! This is a fearful warning to all of us! NO gifts from God nor yesterday's victories put us above needing to watch and pray!
It is amazing to me that one of such wisdom could be so foolish. I do not want to speculate on why he did what he did, but it seems evident to me that he was not wise enough to read God's word daily. For if he had, he would have read that God had said NOT to bring in an over abundance of gold, and NOT to buy horses from Egypt. And, isn't it interesting that the amount of gold brought in was 666?
2 Chronicles 9:6 speaks of the marvelous wisdom of King Solomon, and this passage is marvelous, as seen in the words of the Queen of the South. But Jesus says, Here is the greater than Solomon! Jesus is greater than King Solomon, so the Christians are blessed!
