Suppose I made a copy of the bible at home, by hand. Or somehow a few bytes got corrupted on my hard drive in the file that contained the bible.
The doctrine that the bible is the inspired word of God, and transmitted through the ages without serious flaw does not apply to every copy. God himself will not stop my mis-management of the scriptures.
What God will do, is make sure that his Word will never pass away, and the his truth cannot be hidden. Is every jot and title accurate? Hardly so, in fact, it may be impossible to tell which is the correct grammar. However, it’s NOT possible to mis-undertand God’s word, even with the mispellings or typos or occasional change (which can be backed out).
God has created a entire creation that testifies to his truth, his power, and his nature (Romans 1:20). The only way to hide this truth would be to destroy the creation. Even Satan cannot do this, so he has to content himself to try to corrupt it. God has saved the creation (though Christ Jesus), and can/has/will save his Word through the testimony of the Holy Spirit.
To say we can’t believe the bible because someone, sometime might have mis-copied it is the height of stupidity and is not logical.
I agree with you. But could you please explain what you meant when you said misspellings, typos, and occasional change, which can be backed out. Backed out?
Let’s just stick with the Septuagint.
You are making an idol of manuscripts.
