That is quite possible and even today Christian Scholars pick out verses from the Bible after coming to know that they are actually fabrications,e.g....
The Verse from first epistle of John 5:7 which infact was the only verse supporting Trinity was removed by 32 Christian Scholars of the highest eminence backed by 50 cooperating denominations and the justification they gave is that it is not present in the most ancient manuscripts of the Bible and hence it is a fabrication..
Likewise, initially even Ascension was removed from the Bible but Christian evangelists had lot of hue and cry so it was restored to the Bible..
Who gives them an authority to take out and put in verses into the Bible....

The bible is a collection of writings that someone decided to compile and publish. It has gone through many translations and some books and letters were dropped out of the original documents. The most common collection of "missing" documents are called the Apochrypha. Apochrypha means "hidden things" in Greek. So yes, there are missing things from the original sacred text collection. Blame King James.

The bible is a hodgepodge collection of writings. It was never really meant to be one book. Hell, some of the bible is just letters written to other people by the apostles. There's a HUGE amount of religious writing out there that could have been in the bible, but isn't. It's collectively referred to as "apocrypha". So is it missing parts? Who's to say? That depends entirely on who's opinion you take as to what deserves to be in the bible, and what doesn't.

Joshua, you ask an incredible question which each Christian would desire to ask in the event that they got here upon this situation. I wont variety an essay yet right here is what I even have. first of all the NIV alongside with all cutting-side variations of the Bible got here from a separate Greek textual content textile than the KJV. KJV got here from majority textual content textile or usually called the Textus receptus (gained textual content textile) and the different bibles got here from the minority textual content textile (Wescott and Hort). enable me point out that the NKJV did use maximum folk textual content textile in spite of the undeniable fact that it departed from it some million,two hundred cases, so which you would be able to desire to assert that that could be a "New" King james version or as much as date version of KJV is erroneous, this is the publishers misguide. that could be a vast subject rely to get into, you will desire to first examine the authentic id of who Wescott and Hort relatively are, they weren't Christians i'm going to easily say that. lots of the lacking verses which you will discover on your niv are literally a similar way in many cutting-side bibles such because of the fact the ESV etc. purely remember as a Christian we've faith that God's word is infallible, inspired, and preserved. we are to no longer upload or get rid of from His word. Ask the Lord in prayer to proceed to lead you into all fact, he has convicted you already that some thing isn't top with what you have been analyzing, so now it is your turn to end the activity. i like ALL brethren in spite of their place on the Bible version rely, in spite of the undeniable fact that many are being deceived into believing that basically the "unique manuscripts" are infallible and inspired, as a result justifying each and all the bible variations that contradict one yet another. I basically use the King James Bible (no longer NKJV). The Lord opened this fact as much as me some years in the past, I actually have a lot stuff i'd desire to assert yet i could be right here continually. indexed under are some links. we are ALL ONE IN CHRIST by faith IN HIS BLOOD, PLEASE BE OPENED MINDED while getting to know - enable GOD BE authentic and each guy A LIAR! have faith GOD'S word, no longer MANS!!!!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocrypha
There was this group of ppl that took all the books they found and they put the bible together.
They also decided which books went in the bible and which ones didn't.
The ones they left out, are now called the Apocrypha.
