Re. the preservation of inspired scripture:

The current insistence on "jot and tittle perfect" preservation of scripture
falls apart on two grounds. First, it is clear that the OT text has not
received this kind of provident preservation. Second, and related, it is clear
that the NT writers who quote the OT don't hold to this view of preservation.
Their flexibility in quoting and their use of disparate versions of the LXX
clearly contradicts the current fundamentalist view. (And I make this
statement as one who is sometimes thought of as a fundamentalist.)

Grace and peace,
