"the previous scriptures. How do we get the unaltered one?" The Bible had today is basically what the content was originally. If you have concerns about a particular passage, you can look at the Masoretic Text (from about A.D. 800), the Septuagint (from about 200 B.C. to A.D. 200), the Dead Sea Scrolls Bible (from about 2,000 years ago), the Samaritan Pentateuch (1st 5 books of the Bible; very old), the Aramaic Peshitta New Testament (from about A.D. 70), Tatian's Diatesseron (synthesis of the 4 Gospels from the New Testament; from before A.D. 175, when Tatian died), and the Aramaic Targums (I'm guessing from about A.D. 200).
