But, I am wondering that since evil men could not do either of the above with any success, could the many different translations have caused errors to be scattered across the contents of the Bible? Change one word in a passage or verse and that one changed word can change the context of the meaning?

Well, that's the advantage of having multiple early copies, the record survives--but see that a good translation in 1690 just cannot be defined the same with the current idiom as a starting point for many concepts in the Bible, leading to an answer for you, I think. The Word will have to have MSS documentation, clear and concise, like "the earth
became void" was, to me at least; and then tested. While this may sound like a descent into ?, it is actually easier than ever before in history! Only takes several clicks, now?
Man, just go in to "lexicon" on a problematic Bible verse, on a Bible site, and not emerge with a fuller understanding...IMO.
