>>There are basically 17 different versions of the NT that differ significantly on important facts. Which of them would you call the divinely inspired word?<<

Not in the original Greek manuscripts there aren’t. Don’t try to impugn my intelligence by suggesting that I only use the English version.

>>That is an indication that the translators that gave us the Greek copies of NT books had significant lack of understanding of Hebrew language, and customs.<<

Please don’t start with that “the NT was originally written in Hebrew” nonsense. They were originally written in Koine Greek and we have today over 5,000 available manuscripts of the New Testament some dating and none were written in Hebrew.

Anyone who suggests that God was unable to protect His word by allowing some group or whatever to somehow obtain every single manuscript and somehow change it shows a clear lack of faith in God. Additionally, anyone who suggests that all those manuscripts were changed because God was somehow unable to protect and preserve His word for us today is not worth my time or the time of any serious seaker of truth.

No part of the word of Yehova was originally written in Greek.

The Greek MS are what remained after the purge of the word by Constantine, and subsequent persecution of the people of The Way.

Yehova has preserved his word in a few MS that were copies of the original Hebrew, and they show plainly the corruption that has taken place.

Yes he has preserved his word, just not where you wanted him to.

Wrestle with what he has provided at your own peril.

Yeshua has a remnant that do follow his commandments, and reject the Whore and her daughters and their lies.
