No, the book of Jeremiah.

If you had bothered to read my post, you would have noticed that I gave you examples of significant variances in Biblical texts. Unlike you, I do not have unlimited faith in the infallibility of all those men between you and the original authors. Not having the the originals of Biblical texts does not make your position.
I did not say not having the originals made my position, not even applied. Wish we did it would settle a lot. I know most of what you posted, most ot it is stated in the Bibles I use.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
