well also you have to remember Jesus didn't write the NT, where as Muhammed did.
You can't have bible text lost for Hundreds of years.
The Bodmer is less then 200 years old from the time of Christ.
Keep this in mind dude.
Jesus taught in many, many temples
There were only seven that he was accepted in, and he deemed holy.
The majority of orthodox Jews seen Jesus as a Blasphemer.
They destroyed anything that contained his teachings,
they certainly forced the disciples into foreign lands,
so the only ones that could preserve Christs teachings,
were the outcast Disciples, those of the seven Holy Jewish churches, the Greeks, and the Romans.
The Temples of the seven were most likely sacked,
and were probably the last places to hold the New Testament in Hebrew.
Not even the Christian crusaders attacked your faith with such scrutiny.
Their job was to drive Muslims from the Holy land, not steal their identity with God. Yes they did kill Muslims, but Muslims killed Christians too. Both parties were to blame. for innocent and defendant death.
Sorry man I'm straying a little, but bottom line is that spreading the word of Yeshua was no easy task..the fact that we have the old text we have now is amazing in itself.

Muhammed didn't write anything supposedly..
since most Muslims believe the story that he was illiterate.
The Haddith's contain stories of Muhammad's ventures in detail,
they were written by his closest followers..yet some books were thought to be memerised.
Anyway here is a link to familiarize yourself. History of hadith - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is not the Qur'ran,
it's part of 6 books that are to accompany the Qur'ran,
for it has historical depiction of the prophet Muhammad.
written by his followers of course, because yeah, the guy with an army couldn't just pay them off or anything.
:/ Your point is what?
That someone gave him something? So what?
He didn't deceive, is the point. He made no cash out of the Quran. even though people tried getting a copy of it.
He gave the Quran to his wife, who then gave it to his companions to make copies of it.
over 1000 copies made that were all equal to each other, and where double checked byi 8 of his closest companions.
You still have no point. Saying that he gave away free copies of the quran is ok and all, but no one is disagreeing with that.
I'm saying the guy had real-world political power, which is more than enough to make the quran in his favor.
:/ or you could go the OBVIOUS route and say he just wrote it himself. DURRRRRRR.
Think about it. Guy makes a religion, gets power, gets wives, gets gifts.
What would be the downside of him making it up?
He had no power, he put people infront of him all the time.
Azan [if u know what it is] he alwais let a man do it in stead of him, a show of respect.
He wrote it himself?
(And thou (O Muhammad) wast not a reader of any scripture before it, nor didst thou write it with thy right hand, for then might those have doubted, who follow falsehood.) (Al-`Ankabut 29: 48)
Bro, u need to get out more.
It was written after Quran? u fucktard its written in the quran.
He gave to his enemy "Quraish"
Sahih Bukhari 4:53:374
Narrated Anas: The Prophet said, "I give to Quraish people in order to let them adhere to Islam, for they are near to their life of Ignorance (i.e. they have newly embraced Islam and it is still not strong in their hearts."
He married women whom didn't know he was prophet apart from aisha who found out close to his death.
And he had followers who joined him to Islam.
