I'd encourage you to watch this talk about, mainly, how the New Testament is wonderfully and demonstrably well-preserved: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZ5cgQUJnrI
The same goes for the Old Testament, which was meticulously transcribed over and over again.
'meticulously transcribed' i have read some of the variations and that cant be true, there have also been intentional alterations including evidence of such in the bible
christs history is apparently missing 30 years, if you look where he might have gone and other religion of the time then the story of christ might be missing a lot of important things
I'm not sure your angle, and don't have the bandwidth to engage on this right now. However, a couple of final thoughts.
Scribes developed numerical systems to ensure an accurate copy. They counted the number of lines, letters, and words per page of the new copy and then checked them with count of the original. If they didn’t match up, then the copy was destroyed and they started over.
Additionally, as the years pass, more and more archaeological discoveries back up what the Bible says in terms of historical events.
Finally, John 21:25: "But there are also many other things which Jesus did, which, if they were written in detail, I expect that even the world itself would not contain the books that would be written."
Scripture is God-breathed, and preserved for us. There should be nothing added, nor subtracted from it. Surely, there could be much more written on the life of Christ, but we have what we need to know that we need to repent and turn to Him.
Have a good night!
"Scripture is God-breathed"
god only knows what that means?
"There should be nothing added, nor subtracted from it"
the bible accounts for numerous additions to it
"we have what we need to know that we need to repent and turn to Him"
so why do pastors spend so much time adding to the bible? christianity is a disperate and lacking technology
