The rapture is finally here again!

[Chapabel]

Wonderful.... you have a book written nearly 2,000 years ago by unknown desert nomads. And this book has been translated many times. We also don't have the original writings. All we have is copies of copies. Plus, this book started out as an oral history passed down from person to person.

So, to summarize, what you have is a copy of a copy of a translation of a translation of a translation of an oral history that was passed down who knows how many times before it was written down. You couldn't have a grocery list go through that many retellings, translations and copies without having some big changes in the dinner menu!

But it's obviously all true.

And what I have is not "personal belief". It is a logical conclusion based upon the available evidence.

Let me remind you...we have over 24000 manuscripts on the Bible, in whole and in part. Of those 24000 manuscripts, roughly 95% are in agreement even though they are written in three different languages, over a period of 1500 years by 40 different writers.

So, is it your contention that someone went through those 24000 manuscripts in three different languages and made changes?

Let me also ask you this...how many copies of Homer's Iliad do we have? What about Caesar's Gallic Wars, Plato's Tetralogies? Answer me this: What do we possess as evidence that Socrates even existed?

"Logical conclusion" is by no means evidence. Thou must do better.
