“”The truth of the early Fathers has been marred by this fake, phony,and fraud revisionist lies. “”

The good thing is that Webster is pretty sloppy and can be easily proven wrong when one reads broader writings of the Church Fathers that Webster uses to try and make his points

“”Hardly anyone had their own copy. There was no neatly made bible book like today. All the church had at the time was scrolls(perishable hides) which only priests and Bishops had in the church. Scrolls were hard to copy. “”

Correct,and when you understand the process and the translations of the copyist, solo scripture becomes a real mess

Here is a good understand of this.

The Anvil? God’s Word.

Last eve I passed beside a blacksmith’s door
And heard the anvil ring the vesper chime:
Then looking in, I saw upon the floor
Old hammers, worn with beating years of time.

“How many anvils have you had,” said I,
“To wear and batter all these hammers so?”
“Just one,” said he, and then, with twinkling eye,
“The anvil wears the hammers out, you know.”

And so, thought I, the anvil of God’s word,
For ages skeptic blows have beat upon;
Yet though the noise of falling blows was heard,
The anvil is unharmed . . . the hammer’s gone.
