The original church was nothing more, but a group of communities each of which was like a debate club where believers were able to help share ideas aid each other to become illuminated by solving spiritual mysteries. That's right: illumination, a buddhist term. You'd be suprised at how much apocryphal gospels have in common with buddhist texts. The roman bishop tried to unify there communities into one organization and for this purpose they used every dirty trick in the book. The scriptures that formed the Bible were selected to the new Bible. Those scriptures that were spiritual in nature and helped this illumination process were edited out (thet became apocryphal gospels) and the less important stuff that the church could use for creating a more traditional and ordinary hierarchial religious organization were left in. Roman bishop became the pope and he ruthlessly destroyed the 'heretics' who followed the original form of solving spiritual mysteries. This editing happened around 3rd century, 356 AD I think.
The second time the Bible was changed was during 6th century. The pope needed to tighten his power basis when christianity fragmented. Then the Bible was heavily changed (read: faked) to help this purpose. There were many changes made, but since the oldest currently existing Bibles are only 11 centuries old, it is unknown how much was changed. The renessaince popes made a few more additions during 14th century to allow them to make money on absolving sins. They made a big business on it and the Vatican you see today has been built with that money. I know one specific change and that's the St.-Peter-has-keys-to-the-kingdom-of-heaven-therefore-he-decides-who-goes-to-Heaven-and-who-doesn't crap. I'm not sure whether it was made during 6th or 14th century though. Those are times the Bible was changed that I know of and they were all made to the latin Bible, so it cannot be a translation thing. Only protestants have made nonlatin Bibles.
