Blind, I really don't know why I'm replying to you when you're attitude illustrates that you really don't care to know the truth on this, but I feel compelled to do it due to the misconceptions of your post
Notice that all of those councils were by the Roman CATHOLIC church beginning with Constantine. They've done plenty to botch up THEIR version of the Bible (sure, they claim to be infallible, but they certainly and positively are not).
However, the King Jame version is a work of PROTESTANTS (there's a HUGE difference), independent of the blemishes that the Catholic church has applied in their councils. And since then versions such as the RSV have been translated from manuscripts that pre-dated all of those councils. Today, thousands of ancient manuscripts (some dating back to the 2nd centuries -
pre-dating the councils you posted - exist that attest to the validity of the modern protestant Bibles. So you are wrong about the "copy of a copy of a story told to some guy's girlfriend's sister's roommate". The existence of the early manuscripts show the present day protestant Bibles to be solid in their validity and harmony with the original message. And it's pointless to dispute that the Old Testament (which makes up the majority of the Bible) has been changed since there are thousands of existing Old Testament manuscripts still existing today found throughout the Middle East, Mediterranean and European regions that agree phenomenally with each other (including the Dead Sea Scrolls). In addition, these texts substantially agree with the Septuagint version of the Old Testament, which was translated from Hebrew to Greek some time during the 3rd century BC.
Here's some more very interesting info:
When the Bible manuscripts are compared to other ancient writings, they stand alone as the best-preserved literary works of all antiquity.
If you read my post above, I said that I've read and talked to Greek scholars that have studied these ancient manuscripts and they are positive that the Bible we have today is a reliable translation.
So next are you going to through a buch of supposed Biblical contradictions at me? Don't even bother as I am not one of those who believe that every single syllable and detail was directly inspired, but that the overall message of the passages is what is inspired by God. So basically just take it or leave it. If you don't believe it, there's no need to attack it
If you do, you're being just as anal and close-minded as the most zealous of conservative Christians can be as well.
