yesterday i asked a question about the transcription of the bible and a christian told me:
"Overwhelmingly, these 'mistakes' are grammatical, capitalization, punctuation, misspellings, and other minor transcription errors as such. Less than 0.5% of the 'mistakes' misplace one word for another (such as us using 'huge' for 'enormous') and NONE of these inconsistencies even slightly alters a bit of doctrine."
I had heard that there a considerable amount (not a ton, of course) of copies, that aren't gnostic or heretical ones, but rather are ones that are considered reliable, that have noticeable yet slight variations in some verses that have at least minute differences in doctrine.
Not enought to destroy the veracity of the bible of course, but challenging enough that that it is still a moot point point between bible scholars.
Isn't this so?
