The answer is very simple, GODS Holy Spirit. GOD teaches the saints HIS truth by HIS Holy Spirit through Jesus the mediator. John 6:45 There is no human ministry involved, 1 John 2:27 and this fact eliminates deception by Satan and his ministers. 2 Corinthians 11:14,15 GOD is spirit, John 4:24 , and is almighty thus has the power to overcome any obstacle. Once GOD begins to teach a person then the truth HE restores, Matthew 17:11 , this is your spiritual foundation and the saints all have the same truth and speak the same things. It doesn’t matter at all how much the Bible has been altered when you are being taught by GOD. So then, don’t throw your bibles away because the deceivers could not alter all verses on any given subject especially when being unconverted and can’t understand the subject anyway. There are enough true verses to contrast with the false so that when combined with the FATHERS teachings the lies will be very apparent.
General HOW CHRISTIANS CAN STILL RELY ON THE BIBLE EVEN THOUGH CORRUPT MEN HAVE ALTERED CERTAIN VERSES AND WORDS TO SUPPORT FALSE DOCTRINE

For certain, someone trying to grasp truth in our English translations without understanding the culture and habits of the people who lived during the time that scripture were written may well come up with very crooked doctrines. Not many will examine all the passages given and take them into account when attempting to ascertain truth. Typically, I dare say, we read commentaries from theologians and call that "truth."
Over thousands of denominations later, the truth is still not available for most, because "most" don't rely on God to affirm truth. They don't see Him, they don't hear Him, and - the dangerous part - they don't believe what they read. Instead, they wordsmith the passages to get the doctrines that they prefer.
However, I have found that much depends just on how deep the desire to truth is in the person seeking.
Our father knows how deep it is. He is the one who calls us to His Son. God gives us His Spirit and that Spirit affirms truth for us. Once He does that, there is a finality to our conviction of truth. It cannot be escaped no matter how the truth affects our relationship with those whom we once associated. It is a road with few people on it.

Jesus said, without me you can do nothing. This is because Jesus is our connection to the FATHER. The spirit and power of Elijah was the spirit of the FATHER, the spirit and power of John the Baptist was the FATHER and the spirit and power within all true Christians is the FATHER. The Holy Spirit of the FATHER is the Elijah to come that restores all things . Each of the seven churches in Revelation had to have been leavened with the Holy Spirit, the Elijah to come, in order to be called the church of GOD. This is the fulfillment of the days of unleavened bread because in each era of these seven churches the people were leavened with the Holy Spirit . The first , Ephesus, was the first high holy day and the last, Laodicea, was the last holy day of the symbolism of the days of unleavened bread. The two loaves that Israel brought out on the day of the first fruits were baked with leaven, these two loaves symbolized the ancient saints before Christ and the saints after Christ. The leaven symbolized the Holy Spirit of the FATHER. The two loaves are the complete church of GOD. The almighty power of GOD is and was and will be the teacher of all the saints , to restore to each succeeding generation of the church those things that were lost. Today in this Philadelphia era the door no man can open or shut has been opened and is restoring all truth . That no man can open or shut means no man can teach anyone the truths that need restoring.
