I get it now. You don't like the message, so you search for reasons to deny its authenticity.
Of course you know that the Gospel of John, the letters of Peter, the letters of Jesus' brothers, etc. are contemporaneous writings of eyewitnesses to the life and actions of Jesus of Nazareth, and at the very least the Gospel of Mark was based upon accounts told to him by the Apostle Peter.
But, you seek to delegitimize all that because the original documents were handled so much in being passed from church to church that they were were worn out, and copies had to be produced. So............the "original" documents are gone. We have copies, and copies of copies. No one denies this.
Realizing that you are just looking for reasons to justify your lack of faith, I wouldn't even bother to respond to your specious arguments if it weren't for the fact that I don't want other readers to be taken in by your fallacious position.
Textual scholarship (Westcott - Hort Greek scholars), testimony of the early church fathers about the authenticity of the New Testament books (by quoting them), and establishment of a Biblical canon by church councils, all served to have us arrive at the Bible we have today.
Don't bother to shout again that we don't have any "original" written texts. I've handled that.

Listen...if "God" comes to earth to lay down the law...he's going to write it down. Jesus never wrote ANYTHING.
You can believe your religion invented by Paul...just like the Muslims believe the religion invented by Muhammad. Be my guest.
It's funny...there's NOTHING to back up ANYTHING. No 10 Commandments, no Chalice, no Ark of the Covenant, NO writings from Jesus...NOTHING...WTF??? It's ALL hearsay...and FAITH...that the man collecting 10% isn't lying to you.
It's been pushed on you since you were infants. "Sunday School" was propaganda school. They feed these VERY young kids "stories" and they swallow it hook line and sinker. Most NEVER shake it and realize how fake it all is.
How can I expect you to see this ruse when you can't even see the other big lie...racial equality. IF you were in law enforcement and actually got out into the "sh!t"...you KNOW what I'm talking about. Blacks are NOT the same as white people. They DON'T think the same, they DON'T act the same. We can go down to MLK Blvd and you can see for yourself just how different the 99% are.
If you don't want people talking sh!t about your religion...don't bring it up.
There are as many Muslims as there are Christians...why do you think YOU are right and they are wrong? You DO know they think the same about you...YOU are wrong and they are right. You're BOTH wrong.
