I bet you don't know this one

I've said numerous times that there were all kinds of manuscripts floating around but they were not the Bible.

What do you think these were manuscripts of? They were the Old and New Testaments... complied together, with some variations in different churches but overall similar, to what we call the Bible.

The Vulgate was the first book that qualified as the Bible and it was written by a committee of Englishmen as a gift to the Pope.

Funny, now you're contradicting your earlier claims because the oldest copy of the Vulgate that currently exists is from the 8th century.

Derp.

There were a couple of other copies and that was it. No one else had the book.

"Parts of the New Testament have been preserved in more manuscripts than any other ancient work, having over 5,800 complete or fragmented Greek manuscripts, 10,000 Latin manuscripts and 9,300 manuscripts in various other ancient languages including Syriac, Slavic, Gothic, Ethiopic, Coptic and Armenian. The dates of these manuscripts range from c. 125 (the John Rylands manuscript, P52; oldest copy of John fragments) to the introduction of printing in Germany in the 15th century."

Yep. Just a few other copies. Not to mention these earlier copies of "the Bible":
Codex Vaticanus - 4th century
Codex Sinaiticus - 4th century

Wycliffe and his committee came along and write their version and people gained access to it. The main reson so many people believe in it is that it was written by Englishmen, which gave it credibility.

They translated it into the common language understood by the masses. I'm guessing that might be why it gained credibility among them.

If you notice they didn't give the main characters traditional Middle East Jewish names. They also included numerous clues to show that it was just a collection of B.S. stories, which some of you are smart enough to catch.

Oh please tell. I can't wait to hear about it.
