There are differences in texts, but these are exposed through cross-comparing the thousands of artifacts. The fact is there are enough samples to accurately determine the correct version with almost 100% confidence. So God did not restrict free will by preventing tampering, yet he allowed enough versions to expose the tampering. Glory to God.
So your argument is moot and, I have to say, empty.
