Are there any resources that prove that the original writings/gospel about Jesus are still in the Bibl?

There are no “writings of Jesus”. He didn’t pen any of it.
-
5,800 Greek manuscripts, 20,000 translated manuscripts, and over 1 million quotations of the early church fathers from the New Testament letters and gospels. We know for a fact what was said in the autographs (autograph means original manuscripts).
Forensic analysis shows less that 2% growth over 2000 years which is amazing. This means next to nothing was added. 70% of that 2% growth is from adding spaces and punctuation. The original Greek did not have this. Itwouldhavebeenwrittenlikethis.
Read up on what is called textual criticism of you want to know more.

If you want to prove that Jesus is real go to the place where he lived, all people who live in that place will confirm that Jesus is real

Chester Beaty and John Ryland papyri. Closest two manuscripts to the autographs (30-50) removed from the original writing of Revelation.

It’s funny that the secular world believes unquestionably what we ‘know’ about Julius Caesar from ancient histories, but doubts what we know about Jesus Christ when the textual evidence for Christ is 1,000 times as plentiful in terms of manuscripts and fragments (there being only 10 for Caesar), and they’re far closer to the time he lived (Rylands Papyrus c. 70 AD) vs. hundreds of years later for any documents for Caesar.

Some things don’t add up in texts though. There are conversations between Jesus and Satan in strange places but we know everything that was said in those places by both parties? So you mean to tell me Jesus took a scribe with him when he went to fast in the dessert? And did the scribe also see satan? It makes no sense for a scribe to no run away at the first appearance of satan but to stay and write down the convos and also follow to the top of the temple and to the highest mountain???????

yah , the gospels
-
The same with the Scrolls from Nag Hamadi in Egypt. (Lost Gospels and others)
-
Nope, there’s no original of any book in the old or new testament.
-
Outer sources Jewish history, Roman History and many other. Biblical sources: 25000 scripts of Epistles and Gospel writings dated to 2nd century from Coptic Christians, judeo Christians. Many citations from secular world about Him and the 1-2nd century Church fathers eg Ignatius etc….
-
26,000 extant copies of New Testament manuscripts, some dating back to the second century. No other book in existence comes packed with the credentials The Bible has.

Read up on Biblical textual criticism.
