Thank you @maninayton for taking the time to watch the video and contribute to the discussion.
You mentioned that the Bible has been altered throughout history and that there are inconsistencies throughout the Bible. Can you please provide evidence to support your claims? What exactly has been altered and what inconsistencies are you referring to?
Also, what do you think about the references to the existance of Jesus by Jewish historian Josephus and secular Roman historian Tacitus? Here's a post that reference these historians.
One final question, do you believe any historical document is reliable and why?
Thanks again for your contribution to the discussion.

Hi @nextgen622. Thank you for your comment. It is now 03:10 in the morning here and sleep beckons so in order to answer your questions I will provide some links rather than type out a lengthy comment.

You mentioned that the Bible has been altered throughout history and that there are inconsistencies throughout the Bible. Can you please provide evidence to support your claims?

These two links here and here cover the bible alterations.

What exactly has been altered and what inconsistencies are you referring to?

These two links here and here cover the inconsistencies.

Also, what do you think about the references to the existence of Jesus by Jewish historian Josephus and secular Roman historian Tacitus?

This link deals with Josephus while this link deals with Tacitus

and finally

do you believe any historical document is reliable and why?

I believe a historical document is reliable when its authenticity can be verified and facts within the document can be proven to be correct.

If you wish I will enter into a more prolonged debate on these and any other points at a later date.

I'm enjoying this - thanks to you and all contributors.
