Here's something to keep in mind regarding this discussion: Jesus’ most devout first century followers never owned the Bible, never read the Bible, likely couldn’t have read the Bible if there was the Bible because most of em’ likely couldn’t read and there was no ‘the Bible’ to read. But these devout first century followers of Jesus turned the world upside down and they’re the reason that there are Christians worshipping Jesus today. And they never held the Bible because there was no ‘the Bible’ until the fourth century. So what happened…? What did they believe…? What did they know that many nowadays don’t know…? Why is it that people nowadays are so quick to walk away and/or deny the faith of Christianity because of a book that didn’t even exist when Christianity first began…?
