I would say free will and human corruption, greed, and the abuse of power is why we are lied to about everything. I agree it's a slippery slope talking about why some books aren't included in the Canon. I like Dr. Jeremiah Johnston explanation about why the Book of Enoch and other books were not included in the Bible because they fail the tests of historical authorship, divine inspiration, and historical alignment with the Jewish canon.
Good post. People really need to hear the other side of the story of the assembly of the biblical canon before drawing conclusions... not just take the word of the one side that's trying to advance itself.
