i was reading around and came across this paragraph
How Did We Get the New Testament?
by A.P. Staff
More than 1,900 years ago, God inspired the writers of the New Testament to pen their books and letters. The actual letters and books written by these men were known as “autographs.” Unfortunately, we do not have any of the original autographs that these men wrote. Why didn’t God preserve these original documents so that we could see them and possibly touch them? We cannot be sure. Maybe He knew that some people might value the actual piece of papyrus and not the words and ideas written on it. For whatever reasons, God did not preserve the original documents that the New Testament writers produced. So, the question arises: “How do we know that the New Testament we read in the 21stcentury is the same one that God inspired over 1,900 years ago?”
