Subject: Re: Copy errors abound although the vast majority are inconsequential

Artful Dodger: "Most deviations in the texts are grammatical or omissions." How can you possibly be so sure of this assertion with over 5K copies done by hand? In addition there was at least 75 yrs of oral before anything was written down.

Tuesday: The books that went in the Bible were "set" in 4th Century at the Counsel of Nicea by a vote of about 15-14. Hardly a consensus for something absolutely inspired by God.

Pedro: The Bible is worth reading for general directions on how to live a spiritual life through profound story telling. But, IMHO, it is not an accurate historical or scientific compilation.
