You didn't reference the additions each "prophet" and "disciple" made. If they made additions whats to stop them making changes? Infact wouldn't it be extremely probable that over 2000 years a great deal many changes would be made to the extent it'd distort the original message beyond recognition?
Remember I'm not asking what you believe, I'm asking you what is probable. What is more likely, a text remained largely the same after much tampering by many different people, religions and civilizations over two millenia or that as a result it changed to become very different from its original?

you are aware we have portions of Scripture that are more than 2000 years old correct? We also have original Greek manuscripts from the second century as well. http://library.duke.edu/rubenstein/scrip...ripts.html
aside from grammatical and spelling errors God has preserved His word.

So no it is not possible for there to have been the changes you have suggest because the manuscript we have are much older than any translation you have suggested effected "change."

Strangely they keep reaching different conclusions, ergo, schisms...your personal exegesis added to this long list of competitors adds precisely what sort of weight to the bible as an authority?

Nothing to anyone who does not seek it.
