          This is the post you replied to

          Jesus wouldn’t quote the Bible. It was written hundreds of years after his death.

          The implication was that it was not correct because of a reply that starts with:

          Let’s be correct here:

            The original post says that “the Bible” was written “hundreds of years after [Jesus’s] death.” I consider this to be an incorrect statement. When someone says “the Bible,” I wouldn’t think of only the most recently composed passages, but as a whole, from Genesis to Revelation.

            This doesn’t mean that those recent passages weren’t written hundreds of years after Jesus died, only that I wouldn’t identify that point in history as “when the Bible was written.”
