Roger.
Quote:They didn't have paper. It had not yet been invented at the time.
What did they write on? Papyrus? Goat skins? Clay?
From what I have seen, what has survived is papyrus but these aren’t the originals. They are all copies of copies.
What has survived is in poor condition. Portions have degraded away.

I am only speaking in terms of possibilities. Let’s list the possibilities:
1. Jesus is the son of god and all that. The jewish god is omniscient and omnipotent. This means that he knows of better solution than to write on fragile papyrus, clay, goats or some animal.
Why would he make the choice to have his holy words, his holy story be written on such materials when he can choose something that would remain intact forever?
Yes, Jesus can even time travel and can pick up whatever technology from the future and take it back to his 1 st century and give it to the guys.
2. Jesus is the son of god and all that. He doesn’t care what the holy story is written on, whether the story gets degraded, distorted.
My opinion: That would be a bizarre attitude for a god.
3. Jesus is just an ordinary human. His guys just used whatever tools were available at the time and eventually, that cult succeeded in surviving.
I would go with #3, since that makes the most sense. It fits with the world I observe.
The theist would have to explain to me how his version makes sense.

I’m not sure if I upset you or what.
Yes, I am serious. You can look at it yourself.
Also, when I wrote Mormon guy, I meant Moroni.
