Uh...no. We have the Bible that the Holy Spirit inspired the authors to write. Almost the entire new testament can be recreated from the writings of the early church fathers. The books that they cited as scripture are the ones that were canonized at the synod of Carthage in 397. There aren't quotes from chapters that we don't have.
The idea that a bunch of white guys got together and only allowed the books that would keep said white guys in power is so stupid I can't even begin to explain it. These guys were persecuted and rejected.
The books that were excluded are almost all heretical, Gnosticism being chief among the heresies. John himself wrote 1st John to refute these heresies. The others attributed to Apostles such as the Gospel of Thomas are 4th century hoaxes falsely claiming to be written by apostles.
The Bible we have is the Bible God intended for us to have. Perhaps with the exception of the end of Mark's gospel Chapter 16: 9-20 which was almost certainly added later.
Latest testing appears to confirm that the Shroud is authentic and matches the blood found on the Merci seat of the Arc of the Covenant.
Dude the ark of the covenant has been lost for thousands of years. There is no way they tested the blood. Are you high? The blood sprinkled on the mercy seat was the blood of a bull. Lev 16:14
Your pastor didn't want to tell you you were nuts. If you work at a church I hope you are the custodian.
Ron Wyatt claimed to have found the Arc of the Covenant. It’s been covered on this website over the years.
I did not find Wyatt to be non-credible.
I hate to say it but yes, a bunch of guys got together over many years and figured out which books were in the Bible and which books were out. FACT. Not even up for argument.
And I can back that up in spades. But please don’t make me go there because quite frankly I have too much to do right now and I don’t have the time to do what people can do themselves.

“ The idea that a bunch of white guys got together and only allowed the books that would keep said white guys in power is so stupid I can’t even begin to explain it.”
When you bring race into a conversation when it has exactly zero bearing, it immediately reduces your believability. Given the location, would they even be what we consider “white” anyway?
The idea that a bunch of people got together and decided which books were allowed and which weren’t is without question. Whether they had ulterior motives is up for debate. Since no one here knows what these motivations are (we are simply expected to trust that they are pure) we may or may not be fully informed. Just as in how Pfizer is adamant about hiding their data, any historical texts that are hidden from the public tend to support the idea that we aren’t being told the complete story.
Open up the old texts to all and let’s get to the bottom of it. I myself don’t know the answer but I do know that you don’t know it either. No one here does.

The original poster may be refering to Ron Wyatt’s claim to have discovered the Ark of the Covenant in Jeremiah’s Grotto in Jerusalem, and the testing of the blood that he claimed was found on the Mercy Seat.
Ron Wyatt claims that the blood seeped down through a crack beneath the cross (created by the earthquake at the time of Yeshua’s death), and the blood from Christ landed on the Mercy Seat in the cave beneath the cross. Ron Wyatt claims the blood was tested and it had an unusual number of chromosomes.
