“In fact, the Bible plagiarized many of the stories...This is fact without question.”

Plagiarized, a fact without question?

In other words, you just plagiarized a statement, since you did not identify your source, or you just pulled it out of your ass. To plagiarize means an intent to deceive.

The Biblical writers used sources in writing their text, sometimes they identified the source, sometimes they did not. But that was the way they did things back then. Luke, in the New Testament, stated he used manuscripts in writing his accounts, but did not identify them.

He had no intent to deceive therefore no plagiarism.
