Kerry is correct concerning the actual NT text. I have studied the variations,( it has been decades, but I did do it) and to say that for the most part the variants are insignificant is to understate the issue. One could say that NONE of the variants has any bearing on any theological issue.

As for the ability to harmonize various writings, opinions vary.
Many would agree with Kerry's characterization.
Some obviously do not.
It is not only the fundamentalists who subscribe to a view of inerrancy. There are branches of Presbyterians, Lutherans, Anglicans and others who would hold to "inerrancy in the original autographs". Most of these people would not describe themselves as "fundamentalists".

There seems to be a feeling running through here that anyone who is a believer must be an ignorant boob. Let me assure you that there are people of great intellect who are believers. Honest, intelligent people can have honest intelligent differences.
Some of you seem to think that all who came before you were stupid, and you, almost alone, are blessed with the ability to see and discern the truth. I pity you that.
