I was told that in the writings for Christ in the koran, there is a story about Jesus in which he takes a figure of a bird and blows air in it's mouth and the bird becomes alive.

My question is why is this story not in the Bible ?
Was it removed ?
Is this a made up thing existing only and only in the Koran ?

Please help it's important, i need real answers.
Thank you.

I was curious about your question, and so went and did some research... here's the most susinct that I found.

The infancy gospel of Thomas is part of the Gnostic writings. They contain accounts that are not consistant with the rest of scripture, and therefore were not included in the Bible. In this Gospel, Jesus is seen a spoiled child who is vindictive, and takes retribution on those who "wrong" him.
Here's what the commentator says:

"With one exception, virtually no one believes this story is true. First, the story wasn’t written until about 100 to 150 years after Jesus’ death, which is much later than our earliest sources about Jesus.

Second, our earliest sources about Jesus are all Jewish and the Infancy Gospel of Thomas shows no knowledge of first century Judaism.

Third, according to the Gospel of John, Jesus’ did his very first miracle, not when he was a child, but as an adult when he turned water into wine.

Virtually no scholars (or anyone else) believes that the stories about Jesus in the Infancy Gospel of Thomas are true—the only exception is Muslims. Muslims believe the story is true because Muhammad—who lived more than 300 years after the story was written—seems to have believed it! At least twice in the Qur’an Muhammad talks about how Jesus took a clay bird and made it come alive (Sura 3.49 and 5.10).

This creates a dilemma for Muslims. Since they believe that the teachings in the Qur’an were given to Muhammad from God word-for-word, they are forced to believe a story which no one but Muslims believe, written 100 to 150 years after Jesus lived. If the clay bird story isn’t true, it would mean that Muhammad did not get it word-for-word from God, and that would place the Qur’an, the prophethood of Muhammad and all of Islam in question."

Hope that helps.

Hi and welcome. The only reason I would even look at the Koran is to use it to debate Muslims. A lot of their book is made up from Jewish and Pagan fables and stories or just twisting it to conform to their own views of YHWH and His Christ.

Here is their view of Mary and Jesus for example

The Birth of Jesus

"So she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a remote place. And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm tree. She said, ‘I wish I had died before this, and had been long forgotten. [Mary was worried that people would think badly of her as she was not married.]

Genesis 21:9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.
Genesis 21:14 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
