Record few Americans believe in Biblical inerrancy.

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."

No mainstream scholar believes that the Gospels contain the verbatim words of Jesus.  Do you consider the following to have been spoken by the historical Jesus:

(112) Jesus said, "Woe to the flesh that depends on the soul; woe to the soul that depends on the flesh."
(113) His disciples said to him, "When will the kingdom come?"
<Jesus said,> "It will not come by waiting for it. It will not be a matter of saying 'here it is' or 'there it is.' Rather, the kingdom of the father is spread out upon the earth, and men do not see it."
(114) Simon Peter said to him, "Let Mary leave us, for women are not worthy of life."
Jesus said, "I myself shall lead her in order to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males. For every woman who will make herself male will enter the kingdom of heaven."

The Gospel of Thomas

If not, why not?

GLEESH.. Where did I say the bible contains the word for word account of Jesus? or is this a distraction tactic for the weak minded?

I said there is consistency throughout the Recorded bible, with very little deviation from the 170 pages of 2nd century text to the later codacees to what is written in our modern bibles. Nothing compares. even from what is left of the written works of shakspear just a few hundred years ago can vary wildly from mnuscript to manuscript.

Because it has not prauvaunaunce outside the work found in 1945. All other gospels have been vetted through several source oint all of which agree with one another.

The gospel of Thomas could simply be one man's notes/take on Christianity. as it is only signed by one name a non-apostle.
