Textual criticism is not a tool of the devil. According to the Bible it's biblical inerrancy that's a tool of the devil. Read Jeremiah 7:22 & 7:31, and then 8:8. And since it's in the Bible, and the Bible is inerrant, it has to be true. The implications are so disastrous for orthodoxy that most translations deliberately change something here to hide it.

If you want to try to play up supposed contradictions in the bible, it's good that you pick as your example controversy something that makes sense only in your head gg

It shouldn't only make sense in my head. I've pointed it out to others in the past and they were stunned. It's pretty clear that since God says he never commanded sacrifices, then the hundreds of commandments to offer sacrifices to him must be forgeries. Because he says he didn't say to burn people to death and finds it disgusting, wherever the Old Testament law says to burn people alive must be a forgery. Then soon afterward he laments, "How can you say, 'We are wise, and the law of YHWH is with us'? Look, truly the false pen of scribes made it into falsehood." That's pretty clear imo.
