The Deceptive Mechanisms

[Undeceived]

What happens when you find multiple copies of Anne's work and you realised there's events that have been added that earlier copies don't have? Does the reliability of the diary rise, drop or stay the same?

You would look at the first copy and see if the additions at all conflict with its content. The reliability of the first copy doesn't change. I don't see what this has to do with the Gospels. There are what, three chapters in their entirety that were added a few years later? All the critical components are written within thirty years of Jesus' life--and supported by outside sources. An "addition" ten years after that point is hardly any more likely to be fictional.

So one question: Say “Mark” was discovered to have been written in A.D.33. Would that make you consider it less likely to be fictional?
