I'm curious what the author used for his source in determining the actual words of the new testament.

The way I understand it, there isn't a scrap of parchment left with the original words on it, and today's Bible has been re-interpreted so many times it must be hard to find the exact original words.

Also, the Church compiled the New Testament out of mountains of manuscripts to achieve what they wanted to put in the Bible.

Granted the writers were inspired, and hopefully so were the editors. God's hand must have been involved in every step of the way, especially if what He wanted to achieve was to have His words divisible by seven.
