Dumb question time: What original bible texts do we really have?

[defacto7]

25. Time to pull up some quotes....

"What harm would it do, if a man told a good strong lie for the sake of the good and for the Christian church … a lie out of necessity, a useful lie, a helpful lie, such lies would not be against God, he would accept them."

----Martin Luther


The words of Eusebius Pamphili, a Roman historian (c. AD 263–339) states in his Book Evangelical Preparation:

"It may be lawful and fitting to use fictions [falsehood] as a medicine, and for the benefit of those
(Christians) who want to be deceived."

He was the first to "notice" the infamous Testimonium Flavianum of Josephus the historian whose account apologetics claim "proves" the existence of Jesus Christ 300 years earlier... and, of course, was probably treated with Eusebius's "medicinal fictions". It is pretty well tested that the words in Josephus where Christ was mentioned were fudged as they do not follow the same textual meter and character as the rest of Josephus' works.
