I am much more likely to continue to believe that to the winner goes the spoils and the right to write the history.
I believe that the Word of God is incorruptible, yes. I personally like the NASB version but I can't testify to it's inerrantcy. If there's a particular passage or topic I'm studying, I usually go to the Greek manuscript and study what was written.

So...how do we know Jesus wasn't just a looney or a rebel rabbi?

There are differences in translation and from older translated text to older translated text. But these differences are relatively minor.

It is more likely that the stories grew and transformed. Lewis's famous "Liar, Lunatic, or Lord" is a false trichotomy.

Timmy, that's a mis-interpretation of Christ's point. Jesus wasn't talking about a translation's viability. Jesus was talking about the law's staying power. The law of God is enshrined in Heaven. Find a jot or tittle missing there. lol

It's kinda irrelevant to us if it's enshrined in Heaven, isn't it?

No. LOL

Timmy... you're not getting it. The Law has been practiced by Jews for thousands of years. There isn't a serious problem with it.

You're demanding absolute perfection. The only truely perfect manuscripts would have been the originals.
