If that were true, then why do Jews, when they make new copies of the Torah copy it
Letter for Letter. Notice, letter for letter, not ssimply word for word. Even the letters are important! Why? Because in every letter in every word the meaning and the importance is revealed. When the words, the letters that make it up are no longer important, soon the text itself is not important.
I never had a pictoral Bible, and you know what? I didn't miss anything.
Lastly, you cannot elevate its validity. (IMHO) It is what it is. And if people cannot accept that, they should try another religion that more to their liking.
