It appears you still have bubbles that need bursting. The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in the mid-20th century utterly destroys the “BUt dur bIBle hAs cHaNged” camp of critics, and is a significant testament to the accuracy and preservation of the Bible.
The DSS, which predate the oldest known copies of the Old Testament by a THOUSAND YEARS (with virtually NO variation), have provided invaluable insights into the biblical text’s consistency and reliability over the centuries.
And the meticulous work of scholars in comparing these scrolls with later manuscripts demonstrates the commitment to preserving the integrity of the Bible.
We can be 100% confident that the Bible we read today is what the original authors wrote down.
If I didn't read the rest of your comment, I would have assumed this was a sarcastic joke!
There is much to learn in the area of textual criticism as it pertains to the Biblical texts.

Fren, you want me to believe that a year before Israel was created a shephard walked into a cave and walked out with 2000 year old documents magically lying around there, that coincidentally legitimized not just the Israel that was created a year later, but all the prophesies surrounding Israel?
And you want me to take the word of researchers after we spent the last 3 years being educated how corrupt the scientific research has been?
No thanks. As a rule I believe anything important that happened in 1947 to be a major psyop, including creation of CIA, Roswell, etc.
Bubble, I can appreciate a healthy dose of hyper skepticism when it comes to modern scholarship, but I think that skepticism needs to be tampered down a bit when it comes into contact with legitimate, cold, hard facts.
Skepticism in scientific research is a healthy and important aspect of the scientific method. In the case of the Dead Sea Scrolls, however, scholars and researchers have subjected these texts to rigorous analysis, and their authenticity and age have been confirmed through various methods, including paleography, radiocarbon dating, and linguistic analysis.
In other words, we’ve got multiple schools of evidence converging on the DSS to support their validation, and the scrolls’ historical value is independent of contemporary geopolitical events.
