7. The bible and christianity have been modified many times in its history.

Christians from the time of Christ and up to about the time of the council of nicaea probably would look at todays bibles and christianity and wonder what the hell happened to it, because it most likely it would be totally alien to them. Just think of all the versions of the bibles since guttenburg published his version in the 1450s. There was the Wycliffe bible, the first english translation published in what is now the U.K., in about 1380-85 c.e. As each new protestant religion came about, they published their own translations. Even the bible used by catholics have undergone changes, especially since the 1960s. With each version, things got dropped, added or changed, depending on who was doing that particular version. So doesn't surprise me that there are versions out there that may not be known about in our era.
