And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.
Hebrews 9:27
Jesus' thoughts regarding reincarnation have already been made clear. The Eastern conception of reincarnation and karma has you working for salvation/enlightenment in opposition to the clear biblical teaching that salvation is by grace through faith, not of works.
Yet when older manuscripts are found like the Dead Sea Scrolls, or even questionable ones like the Vaticanus or Siniaticus, the differences are minor. The latter two in particular were discarded versions that deleted some verses and changed the wording in others. They did this enough to not be reliable for use in Bibles (in my opinion), but even so one could read those manuscripts and still get the gospel.
“There may be content in the Bible (or other book) that’s been systematically erased” is fundamentally an argument from silence. As a Christian I simply have faith that God has accurately preserved His Word in spite of man’s attempts to corrupt it, and so far the evidence is in favor of the Bible (specifically the Textus Receptus) being the fruit of that preservation.
And what if CNN was broadcasting in Latin and ancient Greek only and started bombing the television stations flooding the airwaves with their broadcasts translated into English, German, French, Italian and other native tongues?
Would you think they didn't have something to hide?
Don't forget. The Bible itself talks of 1260 years of darkness which corresponds with the Roman Catholic Church taking over much of Europe and what is today referred to as the Dark Ages. The Renaissance was the attempt at a Great Reset but those pesky Protestants thought they'd spoil the plans of the elites and get behind the Reformation instead.
Who knew that sticking to Biblical principles was the secret to ending the feudal system? The emerging and thriving merchant and craftsmen created a middle class that never existed before Rome lost control.
I am fairly certain that many people around the world and within would say the same thing about the United States. Has it always been so? Or has the corruption crept in like a thief in the night to destroy a once noble structure? The Catholic Church is not one of my favorite organizations, however I do recognize that the corruption has increasingly crept into a lot of the organization over centuries. This does not mean that the Catholic Church does not have wholesome followers who are trying to live their lives in a Christian way. There are many servants within the Catholic religion that I respect and would defend, even though the organization itself has a significant amount of stain on its reputation.
You are precisely correct. Jesus did not argue in favor of the Church, but he did regard the temples as places of worship for his father. It is fairly obvious that Jesus did not then, nor does he now support corruption.it is apparent that the Catholic church has been subverted and is no longer an institution that supports the Word of God. My point is that even though the institution is corrupt, this does not mean all of the devout are corrupt. The power of the Catholic church has diminished tremendously. They no longer have the power and wealth that they have had in the past. Their influence in the world is far less and their corruption is being exposed. I believe that the vast majority of Catholics are not swayed in the recent rulings from the Papacy. They do not support abortion, pedophilia or this far-left quackery. I don't believe they can pied-piper their followers into damnation.
Dogma isn't the Vatican either. Your comparison is way off- Catholic Dogma is like the Constitution. By the way, it does not actually include things like celibacy being a requirement to be a priest and conduct mass, although they treat it as if it were. Old Catholic Church has married priests, for instance.
So yes, Vatican is an administration and the Biden group and handlers are the administration. Neither represents its people, both hate their constituents, eat babies, and worship Satan. There, I've said it. Happy? Meanwhile the country and the true church have been suffering for a long time under evil administrations, taking them further from their origins and blessed paths.

God preserved His Word outside of the Vatican. Trace the lineage of biblical manuscripts and you will find many that were never touched by Rome.

The printing press helped make the Reformation possible, just as the Internet is playing a role in awakening the hearts and minds of people today.
The Roman Catholic Church hid everything behind Latin. The serfs were not even allowed to hear the Word of God. This is why Europe was in darkness.

The Vatican is not the church any more than the White House is the USA.
