Which scripture texts have serious unresolved textual variants?
Robert Sungenis answers that less than one percent of the New Testament carries any textual uncertainty and that none of it affects doctrine. He argues the real problem is bad interpretation rather than missing words, pointing to the thousands of Protestant denominations produced by misreading rather than by manuscript issues.

Answer
Less than one percent of the New Testament has any textual uncertainty, and none of it affects doctrine. The bigger problem is not missing words but bad interpretation. Protestants have created thousands of denominations because of misinterpretation, not manuscript issues. Even Catholics have confusion when they misread Church documents. The Bible itself is remarkably preserved and reliable.
