And yet the Church was in charge of keeping the written text. Sorry they failed in their job

And what about the rabbis and their vowells? Do you just shrug your shoulder when reading the OT and say "sorry they failed?" but keep reading it as if it were unaltered by human hands? My guess is you do. My guess is you read the NT and treat it as something pristine as well. Like I said, some people would rather pretend the sun doesn't shine by sticking their head in the sand.

Why should I shrug my shoulders? I believe the word of God is alive today, infallible and inerrorant, and has been perserved for our use. I have no questions of anyone failing in their responsibility to preserve the text for I believe that God has preserved it.

OTOH, you have repeatedly made comments that this or that is wrong, the original manuscript doesn't exist so we don't know what it really said, we don't know who were the authors and people added all sorts of things. Have I've missed anything? Well what type of religion does that create when you have no guidelines except what someone has told you? Many people believed Jim Jones as they drank the punch. If you can't have faith that God preserved the scriptures, then how can you have faith in anything else?
