WOW are you exploding things out of context !
The original post was correct as stated: Much of the Holy Scriptures were around at the time of Christ... but there was no singular publication which was called the bible, nor even which could be equated with the bible.
At the time of Christ, there were the Books of Moses (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy; and strangely, some references seem to also include Joshua and Judges), a canon of prophetic writings (Psalms, Proverbs, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and the Twelve minor prophets), and an unfixed, undefined corpus of miscellaneous other works, including such works Protestant-accepted works as Ruth, Job, Exra and Nehemiah, but also apparently including Maccabees, Wisdom, Sirach and Tobit, and, according to Jesus' own words, even some books in very few Christians' canon, such as the Apocalypse of Moses (which Jesus refers to as "scripture.")
When the "Bible alone" folks refer to the bible, they are plainly referring to an anthology of works which had not only not been assembled at the time of Christ, but whose sources remained substantially incomplete; the New Testament had not been written.
Therefore, despite your bizarre condemnation and wild misinterpretation, it is entirely true to state that "the bible" was not around at the time of Christ.
Suppose someone said, "I went to the PTA meeting, but I came back. There were no parents." Your're response is like responding to that statement about the PTA like this: "'There were no parents' Wow! Where do you think babies come from?" Obviously, the person was not making the assertion you ascribed to him. You seem to be using the rhetorical trick of trying to make your opponent seem foolish by misinterpreting him.
