I'm not sure your angle, and don't have the bandwidth to engage on this right now. However, a couple of final thoughts.
Scribes developed numerical systems to ensure an accurate copy. They counted the number of lines, letters, and words per page of the new copy and then checked them with count of the original. If they didn’t match up, then the copy was destroyed and they started over.
Additionally, as the years pass, more and more archaeological discoveries back up what the Bible says in terms of historical events.
Finally, John 21:25: "But there are also many other things which Jesus did, which, if they were written in detail, I expect that even the world itself would not contain the books that would be written."
Scripture is God-breathed, and preserved for us. There should be nothing added, nor subtracted from it. Surely, there could be much more written on the life of Christ, but we have what we need to know that we need to repent and turn to Him.
Have a good night!
