God is responsible for preserving his Word, interestingly the preserved copy rested within both the believers, and the catholic church. It does appear though that the catholic church changed the wording of the new testament except for the book of revelation, perhaps heeding the warning in the book of revelations not to change the wording for this particluar book, however, the believers didn't feel it was right to change any of the wording of the other books, and died for their faith preserving the Word of God that conflicted with the changed wording of the catholic church. It is interesting that God chose a Catholic believer to restore the believers texts, the recieved texts, however, he used the Catholic Church copy of revelation, which is the Revelation of Jesus Christ given to the apostle John. It is interesting that the bible is a mix of the believers preserving the gospel, epistles, and the catholic church preserving the testimony of Jesus Christ fearing the warning to the changing the wording of this particular book.
P.S. We all know it was the advent of the printing press, that God used Britian to print the word of God, causing the Catholic Church to provide their laypeople with the douay rheim, etc...though one needs only to accept Jesus Christ, thus we have Catholic believers, and protestant believers, though feel that the authorized kjv is the only bible version that stands out, as the preserved words of God for this generation, etc...Jesus did say heaven and earth will pass away, but his words will never pass away, etc...
