Early Christians made up and wrote all kinds of Gospels and fought over what made up beliefs would become the orthodoxy. Many such writings were not adopted by the Council of Nicea.

There are many gospels and other works which were left out of the Bible. In the case of the Gospel of Timothy, it seems to be openly written in the 1980s and that would presumably explain its absence. Even the second century text "The Shepherd of Hermas" was left out,so it's hardly surprising this is. Then again, you may be talking about a different Gospel of Timothy.

Balaam's Talking Donkey, the angel that made the donkey talk is in my KJV Bible. Some men treat their wife worse than Balaam did his donkey and that is a gospel of bad news none ever talk about, maybe the angel Satan does this as he did in Genesis. Num.22:22-31;

I believe what went into the Bible was determined several hundred years ago. Not every book that sounds Biblical is. I have read some other literature, and it doesn't fit. So I am sure it didn't meet the requirement of being considered as being inspired.

I am guessing that the christians did not like it; because this is what happens when they don' like something, they just take it out,
As if it is up to them to choose what to do and that G-d has no say in this ....

There are no “lost books” of the Bible or books that were taken out of the Bible. There are many legends and rumors of “lost” books, but there is no truth whatsoever to these stories. Every book that God intended and inspired to be in the Bible is in the Bible. There are literally hundreds of religious books that were written in the same time period as the books of the Bible. Some of these books contain true accounts of things that actually occurred (1 Maccabees for example). Some of them contain good spiritual teaching (the Wisdom of Solomon for example). However, these books are not inspired by God. If we read any of these books, the Apocrypha as an example, we have to treat them as fallible historical books, not as the inspired, inerrant Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
The gospel of Thomas, for example, was a forgery written in the 3rd or 4th century A.D., claiming to have been written by the Apostle Thomas. It was not written by Thomas. The early church fathers almost universally rejected the gospel of Thomas as being heretical. It contains many false and heretical things that Jesus supposedly said and did. None of it (or at best very little of it) is true. The Epistle of Barnabas was not written by the Biblical Barnabas, but by an imposter. The same can be said of the gospel of Philip, the apocalypse of Peter, the book of Enoch, etc.
There is one God. The Bible has one Creator. It is one book. It has one plan of grace, recorded from initiation, through execution, to consummation. From predestination to glorification, the Bible is the story of God redeeming His chosen people for the praise of His glory. As God’s redemptive purposes and plan unfold in Scripture, the recurring themes constantly emphasized are: the character of God, the judgment for sin and disobedience, the blessing for faith and obedience, the Lord Savior and sacrifice for sin, and the coming kingdom and glory. It is God’s intention that we know and understand these five themes because our lives and eternal destinies depend on them. It is therefore unthinkable that God would allow some of this vital information to be “lost” in any way. No, the Bible is complete as it is so that we who read and understand it might also be “complete, and equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
