Reliability of the Bible
Introduction
Atheists claim that the Bible has been changed over the centuries, corrupted through copying, or that it was just made-up by the Disciples. However, the history of the Bible shows that the Bible has been preserved as originally written and is the Word of God. Attacks on the reliability of the gospel accounts, such as the "Gospel of Judas" and "The Lost Tomb of Jesus" have been thoroughly discredited scientifically and historically.
