So are you telling me that you know what God's standard ought to be? And are you telling me that you know that his standard has been violated by our modern understanding of the manuscript tradition?

Well, isn’t that your own position? Your immutable, perfect, all-wise, all-knowing, all-loving God has allowed errors to creep into His holy writ. Since we don’t know - and can never know - what the original text was, this roadmap to salvation is less than worthless. Scripture says that God deliberately deludes people for the express purpose of tricking them into damnation. How do you know that these seemingly harmless textual errors aren’t more of the same?

When you use the word error what do you mean?

If you don't give me some kind of concrete example (within the New Testament) then I don't see the point in chasing you in circles around this point.

Yes God allows those who avoid the truth to live a lie. And as they live their truth their understanding of the truth gets more and more deluded as they have been handed over to a debased mind (Romans 1). The hope is that by the time someone starts with the premise, "well men and women are more similar than they are different." And uses that as a basis to destroy the fundamental dichotomy of male and female, eventually they reach a place where they cannot utter the phrase, "men can't become women" without fear of being labeled as a bigot. They will begin to see the flaw in their own logic. 
You may not believe in Chris†'s death and resurrection, but what about logical consistency? How deep is your hypocrisy going to go before you turn around and start heading towards a consistent understanding of what's true?

It starts with men laying with men, then it becomes men laying with men who claim to be women. Now we have gender studies professors who can't answer the question "what is a woman?" 
I'm glad that my God hands my enemies over to their depraved desire and provides them with a reprobate mind. 
Makes the non-sense easier to spot as time moves forward. They expose themselves and eventually will un-ironically wave a gay pride flag next to a Palestinian flag. 
Seeing no contradiction. 

These fornicators have rejected not just the command of God but also common sense as anyone who is thinking about the greater impact that they have on society would know that you shouldn't be trying to have children with someone whom you would not want to raise children with. That's the reason why "thou shalt not commit adultery" was given to us as a Godly commandment, and that's why so many cultures the world over have frowned on such hedonistic and short-sighted behavior.
