Before you read this, there are a few caveats you have to be aware of.  The first is this was a personal investigation, not a research paper.  If you’re looking a bibliography or a works cited page, you won’t find one.  I looked at hundreds and hundreds of sources over the course of several months before I was fully convinced of what you’re about to read.  Second, it is not my intention to argue or debate, and I’m not interested in an argument over sources.  I only wrote this because I wanted to educate myself about the subject matter.  I encourage you to study every point in this paper on your own, as I do not consider myself in any way an expert.  And finally, I believe the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments in their entirety, to be the verbally inspired Word of God. They are the final authority for faith and practice. The Scriptures are inerrant in the original manuscripts, infallible and God-breathed.  I believe God chose this method of manuscript-evidence to preserve His Word as opposed to using a single translation as the “only preserved Word of God.”
