Modern science is finding out that DNA is information similar to a book. (Psalm 139 :160) When there are errors in the copying of this book we get things like cancer which is corruption. Things that are holy can become corrupted such as the "holy nation" or the "holy men" of the Bible. Gods standard is perfection and He will not settle for less. That is why Jesus Christ died on the cross and it is through him that we are made "perfect" or "holy."

95% of errors in Greek manuscripts are not even possible to translate into English.
Some are possible to translate, but do not change the meaning of the text.
And some are possible to tranlate and change the meaning of the text, but not the message (e.g. was Christ standing or sitting during some preaching).
Only few can change our theology or view, but never a basic, "salvic" one.

So not every error means corruption in the end. Actually, most of them do not.

Has it dawned on you that the scriptures Jesus was referred to are the same scriptures that Paul used as they were contemporaries? He was concerned with the jots and tittles of the law which is found in the scriptures and you say that the scriptures available to Paul had errors! Your position that there were errors in the scriptures available at that time is not one that can be maintained if you actually believe what the Bible says. Maybe the scribe made an error and forgot a "jot!"
If anyone preaches a different Christ, they shouldn’t be trusted. The glue that holds truth, the New Testament, and the promises there in is emphatically based on that Yeshua is the Messiah, Saviour, Lamb of God (our sacrifice for sins), Light of the World, current Lord of our life and future King. Anything in contradiction to these elemental beliefs does not only undermine the foundation of Christianity, but reduces scripture in its entirety to a bedtime story based on historical facts and figures.
I am saying that it makes no sense for Jesus to mention the jots and tittles if there are errors whether they be in the form of omissions, additions or any other mistakes. He was confident in the scriptures (as was Paul) that were available to those that heard him. If you can prove that Jesus was referring to the Dead Sea Scrolls then you might have a case but they were probably the work of heretics as the majority of the scrolls found there were non-biblical!
