There are no original texts to translate? Plain falsehood. The Church has the original texts in Greek. Greek speakers have always known and commented on these, given that the church was eastern and the fathers knew Greek and it was the lingua franca. What's more, Hellenic Jews (see lingua franca) also translated the Old Testament 3 centuries before Christ into what is called the Septuagint text. Hundreds of years after the last apostle died? That's just a flat out false statement.

I'm quite certain you have no idea about the history of the canonical scriptures or the early church. The post is so blatantly off it is clear that you (or whoever made it) has no desire to truly know about it.
