> do you think God is capable of maintaining His word through the course of history?
Yes and no. I believe the core message hasn't been allowed to be touched. However there are provable mistranslations found throughout the Bible. There have been books removed which give greater detailed accounts of what and why God did some of what he did. The book of Enoch is one such book.
Can you provide said mistranslations, that don't come from a cult source such as Mormonism and JWs? There are different translations of the material based on the age but I'm curious to know what mistranslations your referring to, unless it's the verses added or left out depending on the scripture source and date ranges the translators were interested in.
And I'm regards to the book of Enoch: the issue it's not considered scriptural isn't in regards to it's existence. We know it does from mentions in the Bible itself, most notably I believe was a direct mention in the book of Ruth? The issue is that we do not have a text of the book of Enoch that can be dated from the pre-christ era. The manuscripts we have all post date the death of Christ by several decades to hundreds of years. I'm addition, the book of Enoch pieces we DO have were found in the company of Gnostic texts, and dates from the same eras of such. So it was left out until such time that we can find scroll from the BC era.
