The Bible was written by God, so Christianity claims. The religion doesn’t have an original manuscript. Is that the sort of thing you just throw away?

The Bible ends up being known only by much later copies. For the New Testament, scholars found some 5800 manuscripts in the Greek language. None are identical. There are some 500,000 textual differences.
