The Bible itself cannot be edited. It is the word of God, and his word does not change. However, while translating the Bible, many let their personal beliefs and opinions influence their decisions while choosing a word or a structure of words. They offen argue that they have chosen this or that word to be in harmony with the resto of the Bible. For instance NWT, which is a great literal translation, in 1 Tim 4:10, uses "all kind" (of men) to translate the greek word pas, which simply means "all" (men), because uner certain circumstances one may translate the word pas in that fashion. This happened because JW theology along with the majority of Christianity is that just a few will be saved. Therefore the alternate translation seemed to be better for the translators, when in fact the Bible repeatedly says that God wants salvation for all men. Other translators use wordage that would endorse a trinitarian view of God or a non trinitarian view (i.e). Therefore I can say that the bible is being edited every time a new translation is made. A serious Bible student should therefore compare the biblical context and use multiple translations to reach a better understanding of the orignal meaning.

A lot of people say the Bible is the authority, but you have to keep in mind that God wrote the Bible to remind of of his love. So often people make the Bible their god instead of God (if that makes sense). So basically the real authority is God; He just often shows us what to do or how to live through the Bible.because it is god-breathed
Why were the people so sure that the condemned were witches in Salem?
Because the "reliable sources" used logos, pathos, and the Bible to convince often bribed juries that the accused were guilty of witchcraft. EDIT: The people in Salem had been convinced by their beliefs and what they saw in front of them. And, just to make the point, the witch trials were performed in a civil court, meaning no jury.
