Well you know, even with the oddities that have been found nothing that I have seen really conflicted with dogma. There appears to be someone other than Christ who is called a "Son of God," but even the canon refers to believers as sons, even brothers to Christ. But simply because they are taking a long time to translate is no reason to claim someone "doctored" anything. That is just flawed thinking.

Additionally, with the Dead Sea Scrolls we are not talking establishment Hebrews who were officially responsible for transmitting the sacred texts to the future, the establishment of whom Christ said "Do what they say, but not as they do." Clearly Christ recognized the establishment Hebrews as the sanctioned transmitters of Biblical truth. We are instead talking about an obscure sect, rejected by the establishment. It is unreasonable to grant them more authority than the establishment. I am not saying the establishment should have more authority, but that it is unreasonable to give the obscure group more authority merely because we have never seen their manuscripts.
