So what was edited? What wasn't? What was cut? What wasn't? The Bible itself was written by those powerful men, supposedly using accounts written by other men. Who's what where? Know what I mean?
Council of Nicea decided what to include. Numerous 'gospels' were excluded. How man can decide such a thing? Whatever fits the prejudices of the ruling class back then got included in the bible everyone today has read. Same with KJV and i'm sure other editions.
Also anything that's translated from a dead language to another dead language (aramaic to latin for example) is going to have way less resemblance to modern english than most christians will admit. You'd think 'god' if he was the author would at least see to it there's one freaking translation everyone can read and agree on.
This is what leads to such an absurd number of religions claiming the same origin (protestant, catholic etc etc), yet unable to agree on basic principles, that none of them are believable.
