How can we believe and trust censored Bibles? (lemmy.ml)

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.)

Not trolling here, but where does it say that?

It would have to be from a time when people were already conscious of this collection of writings being considered "The Bible", so I'm assuming New Testament somewhere? And would any writings added after that not be considered to have flaunted that rule?

I'm not religious at all, but I'm very interested in how the Bible came to be The Bible.

It's at the very end of Revelation. It's a warning not to add or remove any words from the prophecy in the book.

Oh ok, that makes sense, thanks. Will check that out. I kind of like the idea of someone writing Revelation and adding that so that they got the final chapter! :-)
