I hope to open discussion as to whether or not there is any bible that can truthfully be said to include ALL of god's written word. 
For the answer to this very important question I look for evidence within scripture itself rather than the traditions of man.

The following is a link to the channel of InHISWord2 where you'll find a series of her teachings on the writings of Enoch.

The following is one of the best web sites I've found where you can read for yourself many noncanonical books. The site includes many nonChristian and nonJewish writings as well. You can decide for yourself whether they are worth reading. The site is called The Reluctant Messenger.

The following are a few examples of passages within the protestant bible that make reference to books that are not found in the bible.
Jude 14-15 quotes Enoch 1:9
Num21:14 mentions the Book of Wars
Chronicles 20:34 mentions The Annals of Jehu
2 Chronicles 24:27 mentions The Treatise of the Book of the Kings
Esther 2:23; 6:1 mentions The Book of Records and the Book of Chronicles of Ahasuerus
1 Kings 11:41 mentions The Book of Acts of Solomon 
2 Sam1:18 and Joshua 10:13 both mention The Book of Jasher
2 Chronicles 9:29 mentions The Records of Nathan the Prophet; The Prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite; and The Visions of Iddo the Seer

The Gospel According to Thomas is not part of the canon. The gospel is significant though in that it tells us 24 prophets prophecied about Jesus.
We do not find, however, 24 prophets in the bible prophecying about Christ. 
While this gospel on it's own may be brushed aside, a serious problem arises when placed alongside the other evidence. For all the evidence supports one conclusion. That conclusion being, there are books missing from the bible.

There is a common thread running through most noncanonical books. This common thread has what can be called 5 strands. Having one or more of these strands is the real reason for most books being denied acceptance into the canon.
The 5 strands/reasons for denying a book are:
1) A book that causes us to question the notion the bible includes ALL of God's word. Because books that speak of other inspired works become a serious concern.
2) Books that speak of a literal hell - especially from the OT age.
3) Books heavily ladened with prophecy. And/or shed light on the meaning of other prophecy.
4) Books that focus on the 2 paths, or support salvation by both faith and works. Books that stress the importance of following the teachings and commandments of Christ.
5) Books that contradict the teachings and instructions of Paul. An example would be a book that contradicts the doctrine of origional sin or OSAS, also known as eternal salvation.

The following are recommended books that you can find or order from your local book store, or order on line.
1)The Lost Books of the Bible and the forgotten books of Eden.
This book contains noncanonical writings from both the New Testament and the Old Testament age
2) The Dead Sea Scrolls
3) The Books of Enoch: The Complete Volume. 
This book contains all 3 books of Enoch.

I explain in this video the 5 points listed above.
