The Historical Reliability of the New Testament

[Thumpalumpacus]

We have evidence of this shit in the 2d century....although it takes until much later for some church fuck to attach the names to it.  But in the first century?  Nada.  A gap so embarrassing that they tried to forge some which is a dead giveaway about the total bullshittery of jesusism.

Second century, eh? 


By AD 107, Ignatius of Antioch could already refer to the Christian Church as the Catholic Church and to the hierarchy of bishops, priests and deacons.

Beg pardon, but -- 107AD is the second century.

Just thought you'd like to know that ... since you clearly didn't.

As I explained in the OP, the translations that we have to day are made from demonstrably accurate copies of the Greek manuscripts which are scattered about in museums and churches all over the world. The autographs themselves are lost.

Ah, I see ... copies of copies. Kind of like how people whisper a message from one to the other and see how far it gets distorted ... what was that game called again, Randy? Help a brother out, I'm old and my memory is fading.

Jerome translated from the Greek to the Latin, but beyond this, I could not say. However, modern English translations are not taken from the Vulgate.

You missed my point here, which is that we've got two documented linguistic translations, and then many, many handwritten transcriptions throughout the Dark Ages.

It's Greek > English. No intermediate steps.

How do you know you have the original Greek texts?
