About half the Bible writers finished their writings before the birth of both Confucius, the renowned Chinese sage, and Siddhārtha Gautama, the founder of Buddhism. The Bible has had a profound influence on the arts, including some of the worlds greatest paintings, music, and literature. The Bible has endured bans by governments, burnings by religious opposers, and attacks by critics. No other book in history has faced greater opposition—and survived.

It is estimated that more than 4.7 billion Bibles (in whole or in part) have been printed. That is more than five times the number of copies of the next most widely distributed publication, Quotations From Chairman Mao. More than 50 million copies of the Bible or portions dist recently in one year alone. The Bible is the best-selling book of the year, every year, says a report in The New Yorker magazine. In whole or in part, the Bible has been translated into more than 2,400 languages

the fact we have so many ancient documents supposrting our modern bible is a miracle in itself..why would there be so much evidence if it wasnt from God?1 peter 1: 24 For all flesh is like grass, and all its glory is like a blossom of grass; the grass becomes withered, and the flower falls off, 25 BUT the SAYING of Yahweh endures FOREVER. Well, this is the saying, this which has been declared to YOU as good news.

yea, copys of copys=5000. just like the circle game. Your sentence comes back to you slightly different or different. Not the same as..... oh, we dont have the original to compare to. You are standing on the shoulders of hank and other bias "teachers". Think for yourself.

Who needs the original when copy is just as good as the original..did you not listen that there are over 5000 manuscripts and the time span between copies are few years as compared to other ancient books..what more do you want..do you want God to come down from heaven and smack you the back of the head with the bible? if he did that youd be dead and why would he come down to earth just for a handfull of hardheaded skeptics when millions beleive totally..what makes you guys so special?

Did you know that the story of Jesus bears uncanny similarities to the stories of two other mythical beings? Mithra and Horus.Both of their stories have been written thousands of years before Jesus'. So who copied who?I'm not saying that any of them are true stories (Mithra, Horus or Jesus). But it is rather weird that so many similarities. Of course, don't believe me on faith. Look it up for yourself and make your own conclusions.

But your Jesus is just a mythical charachter. Sure there was plenty of dudes called Jesus and some of them might have done some fancy tricks, but there's no evidence that any of them had posessed any supernatural qualities or being some sort of demigod. It's all just folklore, exaggerated stories.Without any evidence, it's just a fictive storie just like any other.

Bible reveals Jesus Christ A to Z in every book of the Bible. You cannot see or understand this "myth" but understand all fiction stories.
