I have always wondered something that just came to me again with these recent posts.These words are supposed to be the words of God and yet there is no complete undamaged unambiguous manuscript[Parchment?] of the bible in its entirety.We have scraps and those scraps themselves are so poorly agreed upon world wide[Though I am sure there are people who do a fine job with what they have]that I wonder how any message that would unify mankind could be considered to be somewhere among them.
You would think a God,who by all accounts can work miracles,could find a way to preserve the whole text unbroken.Yet we have excuses for this behaviour also.God is testing our faith.Then why allow any of it to survive? Why play games with faith since by other accounts he knows what is in our heart anyway and therefore is already aware of our decisions.
It is not merely difficult to square the actions with the intent,I would maintain that it is useless and the best explanation is that it is myth and politics.
