Randy,
Here's the issue with your argument. It doesn't fucking matter. Let's assume (for the sake of argument) that the NT is perfectly preserved in all points, exactly as the original authors intended. It proves nothing about the factual nature of what the text describes.
Let's suppose (for the sake of argument) that 2000 years from now, after a couple cataclysms, there are people worshiping our Lord and Savior, Harry Potter. They have copies of the Holy Septology, an account of the seven most important years of the life of Harry in detail as described by his most humble disciple J.K. Rowling. There has been heretical talk that the Holy Septology may be corrupt. Indeed, talk that it may even contain errors.
You are the guy trying to prove that they do indeed have true and accurate copies of the Holy Septology.
Whether the copies are faithful to the originals is absolutely irrelevant.
