Nonetheless you state that you are not concerned with accuracy.
Yet you go on to ask. Whether the bible is the same now, as it was a long time ago.
I would suggest that this not only questions reliability but also unavoidably questions accuracy.
If a text is inaccurate, it is therefore by definition unreliable.
What you are actually questioning is not the reliability of the modern text, but the capability and integrity of those who have sought to translate, transcribe and interpret.
We have no way of actually judging their capability (with regard to deceased persons) or more specifically their integrity. So we therefore have no way of judging the reliability of their work.
As capability and integrity have to be questioned, then reliability must also be questioned and thrown into doubt.

It is true that we cannot ask the people who translate, transcribed, and interpreted the Bible. However, I would argue that it is reliable. See https://www.str.org/articles/is-the-new-testament-text-reliable#.WoDbSkxFzIU for reasons.

I'm happy you view the Torah (Bible) as truth.
