No, I'm not trying to guess your name Carmen, what gave you that idea. Also, you're providing books that are garage-produced by a British evangelical minister, and not in any way academic or historical. Just because some arse (since he's British) claims something in his pet fantasy book doesn't make it evidence. If there exist these 24000 contemporary manuscripts (thats a lot of documents), you'd be able to find a better source than one whackjob's ad-hoc justification for his belief, which doesn't even try to hide the fact that's it's all pre-drawn conclusions. Where are the historical articles? Peer-reviewed dissertations? Literally anything besides "this one guy says so", please.
Well, to be honest I have completely forgotten what I am talking about. The Bible is all about faith, Jesus himself said that if he prefreformed miracles to certain people they still wouldn't. In oher words no matter what I say you are not going to believe me.
