Without evidence that the monks didn't copy these things directly (as possible, barring mistakes) from the original texts over time or did they insert the parts about Jesus I guess one can only be undecided on the issue. Surely a manuscript of either found dating from an earlier time which had the relevant parts omitted would be the only way to be sure?
It's too easy to super-impose modern Christians, like WLC who have no problem claiming that the writings of others support his view and will lie and misrepresent without batting an eyelid, on to earlier Christians and claim they were lying for Jesus for a long time. But it wouldn't surprise me :P
