The problem with the so-called "reliable texts", and this has been going on for quite some time, is they draw into question Jesus deity, His virgin birth, His actual death on the cross (beam, stake whatever). The fact remains, He Yeshua, Immanuel, God with us, did come down to this earth as a humble human being to pay the price for our sin. What more can we ask? What more can we do? What more is there to really say? Except, read the Scriptures, in them you will find eternal life, and they talk about Him, He said so. Only Believe in HIM.

You know this whole thread has bothered me for quite some time. We don't have the original writings, but some things are more reliable than others. However, we have God's Word in print, study it and enjoy it, believe it and you will be amazed. What's so hard about that?

Just don't read a paraphrase! :lol trying to lighten up here.

2Ti 2:15 - 19 Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
