Of course there have been all kinds of misinformed, purposeful distortions of the Bible. The Apostle Peter exhorts and reminds us: 15 and consider the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you, 16 as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. (2 Peter 3:15-16)

We have ample historical and linguist evidence that we essentially possess the original text of Scripture in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. Since the King James translation (which 47 scholars used only a limited numbers of minuscules and manuscripts called the Textus Receptus in 1611) there have been numerous archeological, linguistic and historical discoveries that continue to help Bible scholars refine and bring us better translations. The point is, the study of textual criticism is on-going, complex, and beyond just saying the number of translations is some kind criteria of inauthenticity. Just to opposite is true. This quest for the autographs is important because -- 19 we have as more sure the prophetic word, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts. 20 Know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes by one's own interpretation. 21 For no prophecy was ever made by the will of man, but men being moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God. (2 Peter 1)

Having recognized but not exhausted the translation issue, now we come to the REAL issue...namely, why did Jesus come. Here's what the Bible teaches:
1) You are a sinner. Read Romans 3:10-18, 23 that tells us who we are before the holy and righteous God.
2) The Bible clearly tells us of our destiny without putting our faith and trust in the cross work of Jesus (Romans 6:23; Matthew 7:13-29)
3) God became man to be the only sin bearer ( John 1:1-17)
4) Jesus Christ...not Mohammad...not Budda...not Allah...not anyone or any other teaching can provide the sinner with eternal life (Acts 4:12 “And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.”

Do I expect this REAL issue to be embraced by the majority of people?...no. It is the Spirit of God that breaks the sinner's heart and draws him or her to the Savior. I close with this insight for all rejecters of God's word:

And when I came to you, brothers, I did not come with superiority of word or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the witness of God. 2 For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.... 0 But to us God revealed them through the Spirit, for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. 11 For who among men knows the depths of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the depths of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the depths graciously given to us by God, 13 of which depths we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual depths with spiritual words.14 But a natural man does not accept the depths of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually examined. 15 But he who is spiritual examines all things, yet he himself is examined by no one. 16 For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he will direct Him? But we have the mind of Christ. (1 Corinthians 2 - taken from the Legacy Standard Bible [Look up the translation on Google])

I pray for all the deniers of the truth of Scripture that God would take the blinders off.
