I recently watched this dialogue about the Bible manuscripts. You know, from what the Bible was translated from.

Both Dr. Ehrman and Dr. Wallace presented their respective positions .

Dr Ehrman was a Christian who lost his faith after studying the manuscripts.

On the other hand; Dr Wallace shows reason to be very pleased with the manuscripts available to us.

I have not heard of Dr Wallace until now. I learned more about the manuscripts then I did before form their discussion . So I just want to share the video for learning some facts about the manuscripts. Things get interesting when it is Dr. Wallace's turn to speak.

Just to note: I side with Dr Wallace in the video naturally. Video begins 0:35

the only way of knowing what Paul or any other writer in the new testament wrote is true is to find it in the old testament.

Col 1:25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;Col 1:26 [Even] the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
the only way of knowing what Paul or any other writer in the new testament wrote is true is to find it in the old testament.
Usually, but not always...

I don't see how a few more mss. would be a game changer. The hundreds of fragments and early copies of mss. are in agreement by about 99.5% with most differences occurring due to scribal slip-ups.
