The writings of the disciples was “probably” inscribed (by a single scribe) whose writings were strangely similar in most parts (or many parts at least) which indicates a singular writer who elaborated of vague verbal recitation by the disciples.

This is nonsense. Some basic literary analysis will convince even the most skeptical that the New Testament was not written by a single scribe.

Try opening the bible and reading it.

I NEVER SAID that this was written by a single scribe. YOU mad the assertion without knowing what scribes did. They transcribed (documented) what others said as best they could.

Where were the disciples after Jesua (Jesus) died.

THEY SPLIT and were never to be heard from again until Paul tracked some of them down and got statements.

They basically went into hiding for two plus decades and after having their statements transcribed for Paul, they went back into hiding.

Timothy went as far as India go escape from Herod. Where the others went I don’t know but they most likely went back to their old careers under assumed names.

Try this - Read the book - “Misquoting Jesus”.

I doubt any human can translate ANY document over 2000 years and not end up with facts that are so screwed up that the original writing would not be recognized if it was ever found.

Historians NEVER report fact on any subject unless the ORIGINAL document can be found. Human nature is to modify, translate to their new language or beliefs and in 2000 years you would not recognize much if anything of the original document let alone the original events.

What facts we do have are partial parchments from the 5th century century and they look NOTHING LIKE OUR CURRENT BIBLE but only a hint of the same storyline.
