Beautiful post jbert, amen.. and it's appreciated mpls  ..God be praised.

I think we'll lock it then...I agree, there's been quite a bit of information presented, and anything further is likely just inviting things considered divisive, unhelpful, and discouraged on the forum.  So thanks, God bless.
The oldest known manuscripts agree with each other 99% of the time.  The scriptures, accurately translated, Spirit revealed - reliable.   Looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith.  Heb. 12:2

    This book, the Bible, is like no other, having a unique mathematical coding.  This is not to be confused with the Equal-Skip Letter Sequence (ELS) codes so often written about these days.  Unlike the ELS codes, this coding was discovered, before the days of modern computers, by Ivan Panin, a Russian literary critic who, like so many before him, tried to discredit the Book of Books, but in time he became a Christian.  This came about by his natural curiosity about that Book's word use, and in time he found that using the numerical values for the Hebrew or Greek letters (Many ancient written languages had no separate sets of numerals.) a complex code of numerical patterns and patterns-within-patterns began to appear.  Many or most of these patterns can be factored by the number seven, a number which indicates Divinity.  Panin spent fifty years on the subject, produced a Mathematical New Testament which (so I have been told) runs to thousands of pages, and most importantly, demonstrated that this Book could not have been composed by any merely human mind.

What the above means is that the original autographs are mathematically perfect, and thus, with what we do have, can be restored with mathematical precision.  For instance, unlike many modern textual critics who dismissed the last twelve verses of the Gospel of Mark, Panin saw that the numbers were correct, and proved that they belonged.  So, we see that God's Word is not lost or even corrupted, except in translations, and some of those are quite good, others not so good.
Care to elucidate? I saw you or someone else mention this on another thread. Cannot remember exactly who though.

14And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
