I understand your question. Christianity is the only reality that does not contradict itself, offers salvation, it instructs you on how to use discernment. Warns of life's many pitfalls and temptations. Offers eternal life. What ultimately is your hesitation?

the bible contradicts on the regular. but thats ok. im not telling anyone what to believe on. to each their own.

I'm not sure if I fully understand everything you said. The Bible was not left untouched by evil.
Books were removed. Verses were tweaked for different meaning. Not all of the ending was put in the Bible. Why would God reveal His full plan to win in the final battle.
I heard some books were placed in wrong order For instance lets say Matthew Mark Luke and John might have been John Matthew Luke Mark.
My mom is 85. When she was five the bibles were rewritten with noticible changes Before the change it was as reading books
After the change verses were numbered. Chapters numbered. Some verses had been changed or removed. It was noticiable changes. It angered people. I am from a family of ministers they knew the bible

Womens true identities were hidden protected
My Souls true identity being apart of that

No matter the facts of any changes the Power of Gods word could not be changed
The Power of the Blood of Jesus could not be changed
The Power of Jesus Christ can't be deni

I hope I said that right.

While I was embracing Esther a friend sent me a bible with the lost or left out books.
My friend Storm is Upon Us is more knowlegable in these things.

I focus on Yeshua .. Jesus
I pray to My Heavenly Father
That gets me to Heaven
The rest of it we will know the complete details of soon.

youll be more at peace if you just go with what you currently believe and dont look into it trust me lol
