Thanks for the diatride, but seriously, the bible was messed with, there is peaces missing, and no is not freaking complete, there's a part yet to come.
and yes it was the vatican that messed with it.
try a plain read, instead of "holier than thou indignation"
in case you didn't ntice we are all looking for the truth, if is only one we don't have to fight, just look for it.
The only way to make the claim "the Bible has been tampered with" is if one already knows what the original text said in the first place.
One doesn't know what a crooked line is until they have a straight line to compare all other lines with. Same with counterfeit money. The only way one knows a dollar bill is a counterfeit (or has been changed) is to already know what a true dollar looks like.
To say "the Bible has been changed" is tacitly admitting that you know what the original said.
It's a self defeating argument.
The issue of why some books were admitted and others were not (the Cannon) is an entirely different discussion.
