I wanted to put Ohio's comment into this thread; it shows the difficulty of maintaining textual fidelity, when the transmittors also have editorial bias (as many do). The biblical texts passed through human hands for literally thousands of years but they still came to us quite well preserved. Contrast that to the fate of Nee's writings in less than 100 years!

The discovery of the pre-Christian-era Dead Sea Scrolls, containing extant texts such as Isaiah and Genesis and Psalms which were nearly identical with today's versions, gives strong confirmation to the textual fidelity of our modern Christian Scriptures.
