       DID A SCRIBE ADD WORDS IN COPYING?

       There are many who explain the longer readings in the KJV as
       being attributed to a scribe adding words and verses.
       This sounds plausible until the procedures put in place to
       assure accuracy and integrity are examined.
       Manuscripts were made from papyrus and parchment. These
       materials assured for multiple copies to be preserved to ensure
       future copies would be in agreement.
       There was no writing from memory. Every word or letter was
       studied in the original copy and spoken before copying to
       prevent mistakes and assure integrity.
       The middle letter of each book and each page was compared to the
       original copy. Missing a single letter or word was a serious
       offense, as it could impact the meaning or violate the sanctity
       of the text. A variety of techniques were employed to correct
       mistakes.
       A supervisor examined the entire scroll to ensure accuracy. Not
       just one supervisor examined the text, there were multiple
       reviews conducted.
       The copies  were cross checked at different writing center
       locations.
       These attacks impung the integrity and reverence exhibited by
       the scribes, who so revered the text, they washed before copying
       To me it's more credible to think there were corrupt manuscripts
       introduced among the valid ones. These corrupt manuscripts were
       eventually adopted by textual critics and incorporated in the
       new Bibles.
