So many believed the words Luke wrote in Luke 1:1-4 were to the true church as Theophilus can be translated God lover/lover of God. Which means the Bible is God love letter to mankind especially those called out By Him. John 20:31 tells us thee are written that we might believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. Jesus Himself said the Scriptures testify of Him, John 5:39!
So my question is how do modern Christian get by with the oldest and best manuscripts don’t have this/these verse/verses? Passages such as Mark 16:9-20; John 7:53-8:11; I think Acts 8:37 is another, and one of my favorite verses I John 5:7. I know many will say the older text are missing them, but we have many places were Church Fathers quoted these exact verses will before the oldest and best manuscripts were written. I fear the modern church is now listening to the serpent lie from the Garden: …Yea, hath God said… Genesis 3:1
