So you're saying that old Wycliffe got his hands on the original copy, which was in tatters, and translated every word and thought exactly even when there was nothing to translate. The guy was a genius!!! Sorry, but I have to call bull shit. What the fraud did was to use some of the available material from unknown sources and then proceeded to write his fairy tale. People do that all of the time. And when they have nothing they simply pull it out of their asses like John Smith, L. Ron Hubbard, and Gerald Gardner and the liars who wrote the Islamic hadiths did.
Was Ben Hur based on actual events?

I don't understand your claim. You can't be so ignorant as to think the Bible was originally written in the 14th century. Thousands of fragments, in different languages, some nearly complete, existed for a thousand years before Wycliffe took the books long established as the "official" Canon and translated them into English (from the Vulgate, to be precise).
So atheists are now defending the Bible? Is that a miracle or what?
The Vulgate didn't gain any status until the 16th Century, well after Wycliffe wrote the Bible. Sure, there were assorted manuscripts floating around but none of them were original.
As an example, in American history there's a ton of assorted material about slavery and the Civil War. But none of it became the book Gone with the Wind until Margaret Mitchell wrote her fairy tale about it in 1936. Did Mitchell lie about the basic facts, such as slavery, the burning of Atlanta, the Civil War? No. But did she invent characters to bring life to those basic facts? Yes.
That's exactly what Wycliffe did. He took the bones and then put flesh on them. He (and his buddies) wrote the Bible. It didn't exist as an unit before then. And because it's basically a work of fiction it contains clear evidence that the writers included to show that they were just playing a joke.
Atheists are always bitching about the nature of God and why the story is BS but they never think about why they think that. Wycliffe and his buddies wrote it that way. Consider the Garden of Eden and Adam & Eve. Supposedly Adam was made out of dirt, cavorted around with the animals, got lonely, woke up missing a rib but had a wife, Eve got conned by a talking snake, and now everyone is saddled with original sin. They overlook the fact that the story says that the Garden of Eden was just around the corner from Assyria and Cush. So did the God character make the Assyrian Empire when he made Adam from dirt? There are countless things like that in the Bible. It's a work of fiction just like Gone with the Wind. And John Wycliffe and his buddies wrote it.
Now go believe Ben Hur.
