How can it be that Jesus is redeeming the world of the sins that metaphorically entered "through one man"? What does that even mean now?
As for scripture having survived... why is it that the Greek Iliad and Odyssey, the Egyptian Book of the Dead, the Mayan Popol Vuh etc etc survived? According to your logic, this is some sort of proof that these gods exist.
Well not exactly ; logic isn't the best phrase as it seems to require to much explaining and proofs so as to make a conversation a chore. let me say i propose the hypothesis that people generally try to keep, hold onto, preserve Items that have some value or worth to them. So just like the texts you mentioned the Biblical texts were kept for the value the owners had in them. I was not holding the survival being the proof of truth.
I see. So you're saying that these texts are viewed as a sort of relic, which is dangerously close to sounding like some sort of item being idolised
