It is important to understand that the Bible is a library of books written over a period of a 1000 years or more by mostly unknown authors. Today, Christians still disagree about which books should be in the Bible. Roman Catholics think it should contain 73 books, Protestants 66 books and most Orthodox Christians 78 books. However, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church believe the Bible contains 81 books – the highest figure of all!
The Ethiopian broader New Testament canon has eight additional books: the four books of Sinodos, the two divisions of the Book of the Covenant, Ethiopic Clement, and the Ethiopic Didascalia.
When Christians say the Bible is the inspired Word of God, it is reasonable to ask them which one?

Looks like the Ethiopians decided on their own and it is a case of obvious bias. Why we should we all follow suit?

What was your basis for ANY of the above numbers?
