The changes took place as soon as the gospel of Jesus Christ began to be preached by the apostles.Teachings going back 1200 years are fine, to an extent, except over the past 1200 years, most denominations that even go back that far have changed their teachings. In fact, there are clear changes in Christian teachings going back to at least 325 CE and there is recognized a "quiet" period in the late 1st century to early 2nd and what suggests hints that changes were made in the teachings from before the early 70's, about 40 years after Jesus's death, to what was taught after. This post-70 change is not proven, but it looks plausible.
Those changes are warned against by the apostles, and some of them are recorded and rebukes. A few notables are:
Judaizing outward circumcision
There is no resurrection from the dead
The resurrection is past.
Continued sinning for greater grace.
Works-alone justification.
Faith-alone justification.
Changes have been made from the Scriptures into false teachings. The Scriptures of God have not changed, and are perfectly preserved in the original Script, and translated into all languages on earth.There is even very plausible evidence that Mark and John were changed from their original forms at some early date
Anyone wanting to believe the original Scripts of God's words by the prophets and apostles, are incomplete or changed, and not preserved and known on earth today, are unbelievers in God's words:
Mat 24:35
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
They only disbelieve God's power to do so, as just another way of having their own false teachings.
and Revelation makes the most sense if there were three editions, each new edition largely preserving its predecessor but adding in new material.
Rev 22:18
For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
Neither God, nor His faithful people care anything for the daring of them that nullify His words on earth, as being changed and/or incomplete. Especially not them that actively seek fault with His written words:Now who dares look at the evidence and determine its validity and who chooses to cower and cling fast to an unproven, because it dare be challenged (what would happen to this faith it if was truly tested), belief that nothing has changed.
2 Peter 3:16
As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
