Is there chapters taken out of the Bible?

Answer 1

The Bible text is established by scholars engaged in studying the manuscripts that we have from the early church. The idea of chapters being "taken out of the Bible" assumes that we have a single manuscript that is the agreed-on text, and that is simply not true. (There is agreement for about 95% or so of the text, and no doctrinal issues depend on disputed readings). Almost any Bible will have alternate readings for some of the verses listed in the notes at the bottom of the page.

Now if you look at John 8 in a modern Bible, you may see a heading note for it or you may see it in parenthesis. This is because the current opinion of most scholars is John 8 is not supported by the best and earliest manuscripts. On the other hand, the story there is very consistent with John's writing and Jesus's life and teachings, so it is included in the Bible but annotated. But the chapter has not been "taken out" of the Bible.
