I personally think some of the comments on this site can get pretty ridiculous at times, more importantly, they can utterly obliterate an otherwise important message. However, you know what is said about opinions and how they are like a particular body part (everybody’s got one, and they all stink). The thing I have seen that truly ruins credibility is when atheists/agnostics/whatever pontificate about the Bible, yet they don’t believe in it in the first place.

You're referring to Latin.
0 parts of the Bible were written in Latin.
It's entirely possible to translate directly from the original Greek into English, which bypasses everything you've referring to.
Not nearly enough work has been done to group original manuscripts into families. That work is ongoing right now. Each family of manuscript needs to be translated separately. Westcott and Hort prevented that, and Nestle Arland is only starting to recognize the massive problems caused by that; hopefully they will actually take corrective action.
All your claims about Constantine are false, and written by idiots.
That was false. I have always been referring to the Greek texts, especially the Byzantine texts. The Eastern Roman Empire did not use the Latin Vulgate. Their official language was Greek.
What a sad attempt at interjection. You are like many others who prefer hearsay to inconvenient historical facts and solid proofs.
All your ideas on this topic are completely devoid of historical fact.
