    But they’re not the same, so at least one of them cannot be accurate. At the very least, it’s a copy error by a scribe, but that still means current biblical canon cannot be considered infallible, which is a big deal if you come from a tradition that demands you accept infallibility as a core doctrine.

        Because they are family members and friends, and that’s a cynically reductive way to view people. I used to be one of them and fully bought in to that belief system for decades. If arguments don’t matter to them, then I never would have examined those beliefs myself, and changed.
