It DOES indicate that it was altered. The problem is one of
athorization. For example, the Catholic Church at a later date selected
those texts extant at the time as the inspired canon of Scripture,
ruling out others. The Scripture is a tool for the use of the Church
(Jewish and Christian). This underlines the necessity of a valid
authority. The term "sola scriptura" is not found in the Bible. Jesus
promised to guide His Church, not His scriptures.
