Exactly. There is no question that books have been edited, stripped out, and added over the centuries. All of these rotating books were also orally passed down as well, so even more error and variability has been introduced beyond question.

But some Christian sects believe that god himself insured that all of the authors retained the integrity and that none of that editing really happened with their version, so I guess technically it would matter to some people, but these would be the exact individuals that would reject this piece as false heresy no matter how good the evidence. So I guess we're back to it not really mattering...at least to the people it should matter to the most imho. i can clearly not choose the cup in front of me!
