Just because there are alternative versions of the New Testament in existence, does not mean God is not preserving His word. Otherwise, by the same token He would not allow satan to so much as exist!
He leads those who desire His will. They will be fine. This involves a matter of FAITH, Sheltiedad. FAITH will be involved in anything to do with God. It is never black and white, or there would be no faith. God has arranged things so that people can run with an excuse if they want one, or can be led by the Spirit providentially to know the truth.

The problem with faith is that it is a gamble...
If there are 6.6 billion people on the planet, and each one believes they are right and everyone else is wrong, then I have a 1 in 6,599,999,999 chance of choosing the right thing to have faith in... and every single one of those people believe that God spoke to them directly... yet they disagree.
