Yes, many of them. The Gospel of Thomas and The Gospel of Mary are two examples.

Several, in fact, due to verifiability issues as of the early 2nd Century. We know about the three Hebrew Gospels and the 1st Letter of Luke, all of which are in the New Testament canon; but additionally, several other Gospel books were written, e.g. the Gospels of Thomas, Peter, James, even Judas. The evidence available indicates that dozens of such Gospels existed at one time.

Oh yeah. Tons. Some were merged. *shrug* They had to all agree on the ones they wanted in there. Otherwise it would have been VOLUMES long. They had to decide which message should be there.
Thecla got the cut. So did Act of Philip, Gospels of Mary and the Gospel of Judas. Really cool reads too

No there is not. The Mormons would disagree saying the Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ.
The Catholics have added books in their Bible called (I do not have a dictionary with me) the Apocrypha? The Gospel of Peter; First and Second Maccabees etc.
The four Gospels in the Protestant Bible: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and the only true Gospels. They basically cover the same thing but from different perspectives so we get a clearer picture of what occurred.

Sadly yes, we don't know everything there is to know about Christ! It was someones opinion of whether the gospels were "true" or not, some that person didn't agree with were lost forever...

Yeah, there were dozens of gospels written in the first two centuries of the church, but only four were ever canonized.

Yes. The Church didnt agree with some of the bible's original scriptures so they took them out. They tell their followers what to believe.
