Oral transmission in the Bible is reliable

Con provides no sources for his claims. "As many cultures have lost their Cultural Traditions due to Religious Missionaries making them change to their theologies and thus destroying their original traditions or modernization causing these cultures to lose their young students to other influences." This is not relevant as to whether or not oral transmission is reliable " If the event is overwhelming, those passing the event on will miss details or get aspects wrong due to their delusional and biased view of the events. Thus there are errors of interpretation of the events." Con claims that those transmitting the event shall be biased, but doesn't give evidence for that claim. The same can be made for any interpretation of events. "This would explain why every Gospel has a different account of the Birth, Life, Death, Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus Christ. There is no agreement between the Gospels, which only goes to prove my assumption that these events were never accurately passed on by Oral Transmission, thus they contain transmission errors." There are only differences in the Gospels because each Gospel is focusing on a specific theme (1). "The problem then becomes: Which Gospel Is The Accurate One?" They are all accurate. "Another problem with using the Bible is that there is nowhere in the Bible that describes the Learning techniques that Jesus practiced on his disciples apart from teaching them in parables, which can only pass on tradition/laws Wrong, experts can trace back the techniques Jesus used based on observations of oral transmission. According to Gregory Boyd, he notes the following: "Studies by anthropologists such as Albert B. Lord and Jan Vansina have demonstrated that the transmission of traditions in oral societies follow a generally fixed, if flexible pattern - similar to the type witnessed to in the Gospels themselves. Related to this, comtemporary psycholinguistic studies have served to confirm that the techniques that charactrerized Jesus' oral teaching methods would have made for 'very accurate communication between Jesus and his followers' and would have 'ensured excellent semantic recall.'" (2) According to "Evolution of the Word" page 13, Jesus repeated oral traditions over and over again in the form of many different types of literary devices, including parables (3). "They may learn by Experience from following Jesus, but there is no indication of how Oral Transmission was practiced, scholars can only guess on what was common practices at the time. Though with such learning, those experiences cannot be passed on to others, so those experiences are actually lost in the Oral Transmission." Experiences are essentially preserved in oral transmission. The description of these experiences are not at all subjective once we examine their significance in the Bible. Biblical hermenutics removes unnecessary interpretations not found in Scripture. The entire passage must be taken in context of the whole Bible. On the same link you have to repetition, it says the following: "These findings do not discredit the practice of repetitive learning, but pure repetition alone has limitations" As we can see from the sources listed above: Repetition was not the only form of learning used by the disciples. "They get the students to repeat false notions and bad Knowledge until they can repeat every word and by then it becomes embedded in their psych as Truth. There is nowhere in the Bible where is states that Jesus did not practice such mind control on his disciples. So there is also a possibility that he may have used such brainwashing tactics." If that's possible, where is the evidence? Anything is possible, i can say it's possible that the holocaust was a hoax. I can say it's possible that the writings we have of ancient Egypt and Sumeria are biased and have inaccurate information, but it doesn't mean that it's proven. If changes were in fact made to the Gospels influenced by other cultures, we should be able to see it. The evidence cited earlier clearly demonstrates that it is very unlikely for errors to creep in.
