Unaltered?
What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

Introduction:
The original purpose of this page was to answer the question; "Has the Bible been changed?"
(Question:) Isn't G-d capable of making sure HIS Word is passed down from generation to generation unblemished and or unaltered?
(Answer:) Yes, but is that what HE did?
I am now collecting references not only where the Scripture have been altered, but also where YHWH has either hidden HIS knowledge from humans, or where it is impossible for humans to understand HIS wisdom, knowledge, & power.
The fact that somethings are unknown and unknowable is a hard pill for some people to swallow.
