How Can We Trust The New Testament When The Copies Vary On Many Points?

It's not the quantity of these variants and differences that matters. It's the quality of these variants that's crucial.

Most differences and variants of the copies are in the area of spelling. For example, John and Mary are misspelled in this copy and that copy. But the essential message is not changed. You know that they are still talking about John and Mary or some other person or persons.

Is there really an essential difference here?

For example:

In one copy: "And He sent PetHer and JAHN, saying, "Go and prepre the Passover fr us, that we may eat."

In another copy: "And He sent Peter and JoHHn, saying, "Go an prepare the Pasover for us, that we may eat."

Does the quality of the variants and differences here change what the verse is essentially saying? No, not at all. The enemies of the Bible exaggerate these variations as though we are hopelessly lost in trying to figure out what the original actually said.
