We have more hand written manuscripts of Christ than of any other figure in history nearly 25K different examples all of them consistent. No other figure in history comes close. to question the validity of Christ is to question every other person in that time period or rather what we think we know of them.


"Twice nothing is still nothing."

Most of the manuscripts that scholars have are in Latin, which means that they are, at best, a translation from the original Greek manuscripts.  Of course, Jesus spoke Aramaic, and he and his disciples were all illiterate, which means that his words were written down by second or third generation Christians scattered about in the Roman Empire some 40 to 80 years after his execution.  Here's a list of all of the extant New Testament manuscripts:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ne...ent_papyri

As you can see, the earliest are in the 2nd century, over 100 years after Jesus' death.
And after 1900 years they still tell the same story.

You guy start out with the idea that the bible is like playing a gme of "telephone" in grammar school where everyone is lined up and the first kid is told to pass the second kid a phrase down to the last kid to see how much has changed.

Now you've got 1800 years of consistency now you want to say they is not enough?? are you kidding? we have more original works of Christ that we do of William shake spear. no one doubts shakespear's works. because in the real world 132 to 150+ 2000 year old papyri are more than enough to establish "truth."
