In the Bible, it says clearly that no one should make a dare to edit or correct the Bible by any words. But many chapters and contents are extremely censored from the original Bible. How is this acceptable, and how do we know the truth and full story about the entire life?

(Finally, some of the replies and trolls I received made me more confused. But thanks a lot for the reference replies.)

    Yeah, Biblical inerrancy is specific to a subset of Protestants. They're just loud about it. The Catholic church has also flirted with it, but their stance has always been that the church itself is the final authority on all matters, and in Vatican II they soften their endorsement of it with something like "inerrant for the purposes of salvation".

    It's possible lay believers of other denominations sometimes take the same stance out of confusion, though. I've never personally heard someone say "I'm a Christian that doesn't believe the Bible is all authentic".
