Your Bible HAS been changed but here's why that doesn't blow up inspiration or inerrancy!

I sat down with Timothy Mitchell (aka the "Textual Mechanic"), a PhD student at the University of Birmingham in textual criticism, to discus a question I get a lot: given scribal errors in the history of the biblical text how does that then affect doctrines like inspiriation, inerrancy, and scriptural preservation?
Timecodes:
0:00 - Intro
5:10 - What is "textual criticism"?
6:57 - "Errors" in the biblical text
9:37 - Theological "errors" vs. text critical "errors"
11:30 - Has God's Word been preserved or inspired then?
17:53 - Why didn't God do it better?
22:52 - What about non-accidental scribal insertions like the longer ending of Mark?
28:24 - Does the inclusion of non-original verse affect inspiration, inerrancy, or preservation?
46:12 - Constantine and textual control
49:33 - Why is any of this important for Christians?
