From my understanding there is some editting. But the editting isn't like in terms of deleting parts of the valid Bible, but rather editting of supeerficial things like scribal errors and what not. It be like basically editting out typos rather than removing the substance of the book. The doesn't means the Bible writer whom is holy inspired by God made a typo or error, but just that some scribe made a typo in transcribing it. You have to remember until the printing press is invented (largely to promote The Holy Bible) all books are copied out by hand, so therefore superficial scribal errors just will occur naturally even with faithful scribes staying faithful to the text.
I understand that but I was speaking more toward the translations than to the autographs.

Ah well in this case that makes sense, and that again just typical editting that doesn't effect the substance of the text, which is of course that there is One True God and that he is the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit and that The Holy Bible is an authentic and reliable account of ancient history on top of its religious significance.

translating the text does affect the understanding of the substance of the text tho, if bias has any say in it. Even now we argue about the meaning of "all."

Oh those are just the gnat-strainers, I personally highly doubt they ever read the entire Bible from cover to cover, much less different translations of it. I have and they all say the same thing, the story is intact is what I mean by the substance of the book. Editting to translations or scribal quirks are just superficial edits therefore if the story remains intact. The Holy Bible has been inspired by God, written by holy men, transcribed, translated, and transmitted faithfully.

It is not my intention to question the holiness of the authors, but I wouldn't consider it straining at a gnat to question the common understanding of the word "holy" even. For example, Israel is considered a holy nation but often behaved in an ungodly manner. Do we have the most accurate understanding of it?

Well maybe that's just moreso a judgement against the modern society being so unholy that they have no idea what holy means anymore lol. Not saying nor implying you are, but from my experience such types and arguments moreso. Reality isn't subjective, holy means what it has always meant, hallowed, sanctified, set apart. The gnat strainers are often of the scribal persuasion lol how they argue over synonyms and are blind to the forest for straining their eyes at the trees.

Doesn't it make a whole world of difference, tho, between "being" holy and "always trying to" be?

Yea of course. Those are two different things though. What is holy is pure, set apart, right? So there is no trying to be holy unless you're already already polluted, defiled, and unholy therefore. This is discussed much in whole The Holy Bible. But then that's a whole big subject and topic of itself. Suffice for this topic 300-399 AD seems still to me the best poll vote.

...I do wonder how many votes have to be dismissed before I can become president.
