The Bible

[chatpilot]

While reading about the supposed existence of Jesus I came across an interesting site. Check it out at: http://www.nobeliefs.com/exist.htm

Basically it runs through the evidence to suggest why Jesus did not exist. In some parts it mentions the bible and the gospels specifically. One interesting point was:

- no original New Testament documents exist; all we have are copies of the originals. The earliest copies we have come more than a century later than the supposed original.

But if we do not even have the originals, how can we be sure that they're not just a forgery, or modified, or even meant to be read as literal fact?

I have been saying that throughout this forum over and over again that all the documents we have are copies of copies and that none of the so called original documents have been found.Also,regarding the gospel of Q it also has never been found but has been referred to as a source document for some of the gospel stories that are similar in content.

not to mention that all of the documents are not first hand accounts of the life of Jesus.They are a bunch of oral traditions that have been set to papyrus or paper or print.
