Philip Schaff calculated that, of the 150,000 variants known in his day, only 400 altered the meaning of the passage, only 50 were of real significance, and not even one affected “an article of faith or a precept of duty which is not abundantly sustained by other and undoubted passages, or by the whole tenor of Scripture teaching.”

Thanks for helping me make my point to svcw.

svcw: Ok, how do you have reverence for the Bible when you also believe it wasn't translated correctly.

I'm still wondering how svcw reconciles this statement with a belief in the Bible. Assuming svcw also believes in the Bible inspite of the thousands of errors you have so helpfully pointed out.

Would I be correct in saying that you reverence the Bible inspite of all these well known errors?

No, your point was to adhear all those variants as = false material. Scholars are able to go to the extant ms for the Bible.

Where are all the prophetic statements or announcements for the 4000+ changes to the bom - when the translation process by lds' own history was literal word-for-word and to a point letter-for-letter.

thousands of errors over tens of thousands of ms resulting in <1% of the bible having any question as origional text - Stack that up against your book of abraham some time.
