Actually several books have been excluded

Exclusion is not the equivalent to altering, because none of what was written when it was being written was being written for the sole purpose of being part of a compilation which would be the Bible eventually.

I think the point is that early Christian knowledge was cherry picked for the explicit purpose of controlling people. That’s why all the Gnostics who actually followed the teachings of Yeshua (rather than working to set up an authoritarian control system) got massacred, despite being staunch pacifists who didn’t want to bother or be bothered.
