I believe that when God promised to preserve his Word he didn't just mean he would preserve it in the original Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek on 2,000 year old papyrus and parchment, but he would preserve his words / the message of
the Gospel in the common languages of the people of the world, for all ages.
@jf well your information about the New Testament is about as accurate as your Old Testament knowledge, The prophecies of the Old testament concerning Christ could not have been written after the fact because we now have the Dead Sea Scrolls, with an almost complete Old Testament dated 100 - 200 years before the birth of Christ, Your interpretation of God at His worst shows a complete lack of understanding as to what was being communicated.We don't know what the original texts of the New Testament were written
in as to date there are no original copies available.Greek was the
common language of the day.Most of the
gospels were reported written somewhere
in the 30 year after Christs resurrection time frame, not the unspecified «long after «you reference and three of the authors knew Jesus personally
in His earthly ministry, the other Knew Jesus as his savior and was
in the company of many who also knew Jesus.You keep referencing changes, «gazillion «was the word used but you never referenced one change, so it is assumed we are to take your word for it.What may we ask are your credentials?Try reading Job your own self, particularly the section were Job says «My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you.Therefore I despise myself and repent
in dust and ashes»
Evangelicals come from many churches,
languages, and cultures, but we hold
in common a shared understanding of the
gospel of Jesus Christ, of the church's mission, and of the Christian commitment to evangelism.»
