No one has a clue what Jesus actually said...And what he did say was unlikely to have been spoken in the English vernacular...That was all made up over a thousand years later.

Jesus spoke Aramaic and so did the disciples until Paul came around. So the New Testament or Gospels were originally written in Aramaic and Paul wrote his piece in Greek.
Probably so, and The Bible was written hundreds of years later.
The Bible was compiled shortly after Jesus’s death.
Nope "The Bible" is a second millennium construct, based upon earlier folk tales.
The authors of the Gospel in the New Testament were disciples ofJesus and Jews who followed him.
There is very little evidence or even no evidence to support the claim that Jesus's best mates authored anything.
Yours is a latter day unrealistic europeanised fantasy assumption, based upon hand me down stories, based upon exaggerated word of mouth story telling.
The gospels were eyewitness accounts of Jesus and his ministry. The disciples were the witnesses that followed Jesus everywhere.
Yes, as I explained previously.
"Gospel" is a contradiction, but nonetheless a fluffy ethereal word that induces stupor in some.
Except for Paul the 12 disciples lived and followed Jesus. They are the only ones who could have written eyewitness accounts of Jesus and his ministry.
A big old popular group of twelve then...All with handy pens and paper.
I smile.
It must have been the experience of their lives to write about Jesus and his ministry
I continue to smile...Yes for thirteenth century monks, it was like christmas pudding, birthday cake and easter eggs all coming at once.
Remember the Gospels were eyewitness accounts of Jesus, his life and ministry.
Supposedly.
Though read any relative reference material and the vagueness of the supposition is obvious...Though you will accept such exaggerations without question...Such is the influence of ongoing theo-political indoctrination and mass subjugation.
Not forgetting of course That RC Inc. is also a multi-national business empire, worth billions...So how do you think that they get fools to part with their money so easily?
There is nothing vague about the Bible. It is quoted verbatim.
For sure, "The Bible" is often quoted verbatim and most modern print is easily legible.
Whereas hand me down 2000 year old folk tales written onto parchment parchment with quills will undoubtedly be vague, in terms of both factuality and legibility.
And ongoing theo-political exaggeration and editing will further embellish the already established mythological fantasy life of a character often referred to as Jesus Christ, his mum Mary Christ, his step-dad Daft Joe and his real dad Godfrey...Not forgetting all his lazy boyfriends.
But none of that happens when relating the Bible, the stories are reliably accurate.
About as reliable as a bus that keeps breaking down...I smile.
And accurate relative to grammatical standards, I suppose.
Though relative to some 1300 years of Chinese whispers, no chance of being factually accurate.
False comparison to an original piece of work. The Bible is the best seller of all times.
Well, a "Bible" compiled in the first half of the second millennium AD was the original...And yes, as you would expect from RC Inc. or CE Inc. it was never going to be free.
The first commercial version of the Bible was printed in 1450.
Okay, we will agree on that.
That’s when the printing press was invented.
Time for bed Debs... Nighty Night.
It’s only 6 pm in Canada.
It was 11pm in Wales...Or 10.52 to be precise.
You are missing all the action.
But I'm active now...Ego inflating...Therapist required.
You have to wait your turn. Remember I have a long list of clients waiting.
