    Ok maybe some mistakes were made, which I find surprising. The Torah, however, was able to be copied without any mistakes -- which goes to show that scribes are capable of making accurate copies without the printing press.

    But then if we lend an ear to Dr. Ron Rhodes:

    "To begin, we must emphasize that out of these 150,000 variants, 99 percent hold virtually no significance whatsoever. Many of these variants simply involve a missing letter in a word; some involve reversing the order of two words (such as "Christ Jesus" instead of "Jesus Christ"); some may involve the absence of one or more insignificant words.

    Really, when all the facts are put on the table, only about 50 of the variants have any real significance-- and even then, no doctrine of the Christian faith or any moral commandment is effected by them. For more than ninety-nine percent of the cases the original text can be reconstructed to a practical certainty.

    Even in the few cases where some perplexity remains, this does not impinge on the meaning of Scripture to the point of clouding a tenet of the faith or a mandate of life.

    Thus, in the Bible as we have it (and as it is conveyed to us through faithful translations) we do have for practical purposes the very Word of God, inasmuch as the manuscripts do convey to us the complete vital truth of the originals."

    Look, as a Christian myself, this is a very lazy if not dishonest tactic. You made the claim that the Bible proves true every time, you provide the evidence. Don't make a claim and expect others to prove it for you.
