How do we know it actually says what we believe it says and not just a big ass game of telephone?

Thats exactly what it is. The earliest full manuscripts we have are from 300 CE. Earlier are small scraps with a few sentences. KJV-Onlyists worship a manuscript that is 400 years after the originals are written and the differences are major.

Because we can compare it to other translations and see if the meaning has remained.

>Compelling stuff.

When was each book of the Bible written?

When was the Greek language formed?

You failed to ask yourself very basic questions in your "research" and you clearly never studied anything into translation. You want me to put effort into a lazy fedora tipper's thread? It's not like you clowns ever stop spamming this board no matter what people reply with. You can pretend to be calm and rational, but it never lasts. Not like you really put any effort into this or even your own thoughts on the matter.

It's quite long but just watch the intro at least, maybe at 2x

>blah blah blah muh fedoras

Not an atheist.

Nobody cares about your culture war trannoid business and the educated Christians on this board see right through you.

>the educated Christians on this board see right through you

i have never seen a Christian win an argument here once, even when it comes to their own religion.

You must get filtering me

must be

the shit you described are the instances of telephone that are documented and constantly being debated, studied, commentated etc today. As for what the original manuscript of Genesis looked like, or Judges, or Samuel, is anyone's guess, obviously. There is clearly some evidence of redaction for example: counting items in a list within the bible is hilariously inaccurate (this looks like: "And those were the 37 warriors under his command" [the list really contained 32]) and names that end with the Hebrew suffix "Baal" are censored with the suffix for "shame".

How can you be certain an invisible demon isn't casting a veil of falsehood and confusion over the words you're reading right now to make it appear like I'm saying something else and befuddle you? Either you'll have to be a logical positivist that denies the verifiability of extra-conscious reality or at some point you're going to have to put your foot down and say that other people actually do exist and mean what they say.
