Was the Bible perfectly preserved or has it been corrupted?
I’m talking about every Bible that came after the Septuagint

Textual criticism and analysis has proven that the documents have come down to us quite intact and preserved from their original writings.

The Bible IS preserved. Among English translations, the King James is the most accurate version to the original manuscripts. New King James is a close second. Newer versions, especially THE MESSAGE are not to be relied upon for authorative teachings. The NIV and NIrV are not recommended due to their word changes. With every word changed or omitted, the text becomes less accurate. Ex: Out of 200 key words chosen from the New Testament text, the New English Testament omits 197 of them. The NIV omits 195. The Revised Standard omits 189 of the 200 key words. The list goes on for 20 more versions. Only the Martin Luther German New Testament, the King James Version New Testament, and the Textus Receptus (Greek King James) leave all 200 key words in place.

Who says the XXL wasn't already corrupt when it was translated?
There really isn't any "perfect" Bible, the books were never designed to fit together in one book, other humans did that after the authors wrote them.
No Chance Without Jesus
We have the Original Languages, Scholars have been pouring over it for more than a thousand years.....its preserved
?
nothing but God is 'perfect', it has been translated from Greek so that right there makes it subject to 'opinions' ............
