Apologies, Miss R.

What I was saying at the end (in a nutshell) is that the Bible Jesus read from (the Hebrew Bible) has been accurately confirmed as the same text used by the modern Jewish church, as well as the Old Testament that the Christians use (it is the same in Christianity and Judaism, except that Jews group the books in a slightly different manner). The discovery of the Dead Sea scrolls showed that the same text type was used by Jews over 150 years before Christ as what is currently used. Therefore, the current Old Testament cannot be corrupt if you believe that Jesus read accurate Scripture.
