That prevents anyone from editing it's content to suit their own mortal agendas?

Clearly not, because it has been done, many a time.
And disputes have arisen over variant readings, however they were introduced. Many are far from sure what the ending of Mark's gospel ought to be, for an example that is probably one of the easiest to demonstrate. (url1)
"...the attitude of Church Fathers toward variant readings in the text of the New Testament. On the one hand, as far as certain readings involve sensitive points of doctrine, the Fathers customarily alleged that heretics had tampered with the accuracy of the text." (url2)

LOL...no, of course not. The Bible, in all the different interpretations, paraphrases, languages, whatever is a book. You do not get to change any book to suit your own purposes. You can however, have opinions and beliefs about what some things mean...in the Bible, or any book. cal

editing its content would do no good for ones own agenda seeing that it has been around along time now and people have read it and are familiar enough that they would recognize error when they see or hear it. God protects his word.

Yes, Revelation 22:18 says, "I warn everyone who hears the prophetic words in this book; if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words in this prophetic book, God will take away his share in the tree of life and the Holy City described in this book."

Interesting. Check the Silmarillion for spells too while you're at it.
