Me: We just discussed a lot about Jesus.
Prodigal: Yes, but I heard people say that the bible is not reliable.
Me: Maybe this can help.
This is from the book The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel
World-class scholar Bruce Metzger said that compared with other ancient documents, there is an unprecedented number of New Testament manuscripts and that they can be dated extremely close to the original writings. The modern New Testament is 99.5 percent free of textual discrepancies, with no major Christian doctrines in doubt. The criteria used by the early church to determine which books should be considered authoritative have ensured that we possess the best records about Jesus.
But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
Hebrews 10:39
