I think that just the existence of false faiths and false texts, by itself, lowers your opinion of the Bible

What proof do you have that your beliefs are  true? Your inner feelings? Likewise, what proof do you have that other "bibles' are "false" other than your personal, subjective conviction that they are? In both cases you have an a priori completed belief without any objective proof.

I have tried giving you lots of proofs, using scripture and reason. You rejected them, which is fine. I thought that we had agreed that short of my producing the Second Coming in your own living room, that there was no possible proof that I could offer you. :)

I have no idea what you're talking about concerning other Bibles. I have NEVER denounced a Bible that you or Catholics might normally read. I might disagree with some of the wording, but it has never been enough to throw out the translation in my mind. For example, as far as I know (perhaps aside from the Apocrypha) I think that Reformation theology survives just fine under the NAB.
