I posted an essay indicating why we can trust modern copies of New
Testament scripture to be an accurate rendition of what was penned
2000 years ago.  Similar textual evidence backs up the accuracy of
the Old Testament.

This is very true, but their claims are based on myth.  Check out
the interesting "On the alleged corruption of the Bible" page at

I took a similar path, I guess.  But for me to receive Jesus, I had
to be convinced that claims made about him were real.  The Bible provided
that evidence for me (more on how I was persuaded of the truth of the
Bible later...)

Bro John has delved into what I predict to be Yet Another "Hot Topic."
I also predict that John's position is going to be wildly unpopular on
this list.  I ask that you all please refrain from innuendos, outright
attacks, or accusations.
