We do have textual evidence other than the bible that points to his existence.

Idk why you would need textual evidence besides the Bible to be certain the guy existed. It's not like these are magical books that sprung from the earth. They have historical reasons for existing and the most likely reason includes the existence of the dude.

No they don't care about that. They know foreign governments do that all the time on Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, etc. This is about protecting lobbyists' business interests, and right now the biggest lobbyists and campain contributors are also tik tok's competitors.

Soft drinks include any non hard drink, including all the non carbonated stuff. This is specifically referring to carbonated beverages.

I'm really interested in what these books meant to the people who compiled the bible. Presumably the people who choose these texts could read and understood they didn't all exactly agree on everything. Your point about revelation for example is obviously silly because of course that's how it's written, but the important question is what did it come to mean to the early church? The book clearly isn't a catechism so discerning what it meant to early Christians takes a lot more effort than simply reading it and even understanding the authors meaning. Most "prophecy" in the bible isn't written as prophecy and you kinda gotta squint to even agree with Jesus explaining how something is a fulfilled prophecy.
