Yes, it is true. The bible keeps changing, and no one knows what it really was suppose to have included, especially the NT.
But then, those of us who have actually studied it from a non-religious perspective have known that for a very long time. It might be worth for others to listen to the video.
Still people read the Bible and get saved as Jesus Holy Spirit moves and abides on their lives to all those who is obedient to Jesus calling , so If the bible is changed edited at all it still retains what is needed to receive the living God on people lives , and this living God is not just a conjecture of ideas which many religions receive , where many religions are nothing more than a devotion to the ideas of their book and no living God abiding on their bodies and spirit ....The bible still has the Words of God which God needs to saved His people eternally

How can you be so sure that God was the one influencing the authors? Couldn't Satan have been just as capable of fooling themy into writing and following his agenda?
Perhaps we could get God to spare a moment of his infinite time to clarify and make sure we didn't get it wrong?
When Emperor Constantine changed the Roman Empire to Christianity from Paganism, they rewrote the Bible. That is an historical fact. His priests "interpreted" every book and rewrote it. They also dumped a bunch of books, like the Gospel of Mary etc., that had been previously accepted.
Yup! The main reason behind it is language. Since the Latin Vulgate, the Bible has had most of the words mistranslated, especially the names of the people in the Bible and because of this the story of the Bible have a lot of holes in it. Though the message and history is still true in essence, you're getting half-truths. Btw the NT is a book based mostly on Paul's teachings not Yahusha.
We have the Codex Vaticanus and Codex Sinaiticus from around 300 A.D. the Codex Alexandrinus from around 400 A.D.
It is very clear the early church knew what the basic canon was.
Marcion put together the first canon of Scripture in 140 A.D.
The way the bible is altered is by translations from the native language into the foreign language. There is always some loss in translation. For instance, English does not have much of a middle voice so, in the Concordant Literal New Testament we show the middle voice by the symbol of a small circle with a dot in the middle. In the German language they do have a middle voice.
It also should be told that humans are prone to err. The copyists in the first centuries after Christ would make copies of the original letters/books in the NT. There is what is known as copyist errors. However there were copyists who were correctors as well and they would put the correction in the margin.
We are very confident that what we have today of the originals is perfectly good enough for anyone wanting to know the evangel and all things pertaining to it.

The thing about what you said is that hardly anyone speaks German, secondly the evangel is still not a way to the complete understanding of scripture, Semitic languages can translate each other the same way Celtic and Anglo languages can translate and languages can. However the words cannot transliterate in what the Semitic language(s) says. Simple linguistics.
So since that being the case, these Bibles aren't able to tell the full history of the Hebrew people (the scriptures; Bible). Of course you can give a basic interpretation of canon, but it's not a transliteration. Even though it's from a different perspective the Quran can give a more detailed history of the Hebrew people.

Should I really expect a website called "businessreader" to provide expert commentary on the Bible?
I watched the video, and was just not impressed. Honestly...it's a rather amateurish attack on Christianity...providing arguments that have been dealt with many many years ago. Do some research, cupper. You're brighter than this.
