How Do You Know You Have the Right Bible?

Questions about the Catholic Bible versus the Protestant Bible, whether or not the original New Testament manuscripts exist somewhere and how we would know if we found one, and the implications of not having the original manuscripts of the Bible.

 

• How do you know you have the right version of Christianity? The Catholic Bible was assembled closer to the time of Jesus, and your church just took books out of that Bible. If an all-powerful God can’t maintain the truth over time, he probably isn’t real.
• Do you think the original New Testament manuscripts still exist somewhere, and if we ever found one, how would we know it was the original?
• What do we mean when we say we don’t have an original copy of the Bible? Which parts aren’t right, and how would we ever know?
