@Alam22414 "my evidence to bible translation is correct"? - you need to clarify your question better but if you are asking which translation is correct then my answer would be that all the translations are correct as the message is the same and translations does not affect any doctrines we believe as Christians. The only bible christians reject is that of Jehovas Witnesses as they have their own translation that is only for them.
"Ask the author of the KJV of bible" - the translator of the KJV is most likely dead so it would be impossible to ask him anything
"If cannot translate, they should contact you"? - why should translators contact me, for what purpose. Please clarify?
"When you say Jesus came for all nations. Quote bible verses" - sure (see Matthew 15:28, Mark 7:29-30, Matthew 10:18, Mark 7:24, and 31 Luke 9:52, John 4:4-5) more can be said on this.
"Text of Koine Greek"? - the New Testament was written in Koine Greek you are correct
"Where are the originals manuscripts" - we do not have them because they would not have survived the test of time and so the manuscripts were faithfully copied throughout the centuries until today.
"Greek manuscripts are without authors and are copies of copies" - the claim is that we dint know who the authors are but remember that cannot be concluded with 100% certainty because we do not have the original manuscripts, however based on internal and external evidence we do know who the authors are. And yes we have a wealth of thousands of manuscript evidence
"In fact NT has more variations than words" - correct you are that is public knowledge
"As per Christianity the bible is word of Christ, clear message for mankind with commands, like how to live your life" - Jesus Christ is literally the word of God made flesh and yes the bible is the word of God, with a clear message for all mankind and we as Christians are to emulate to live the life that Christ did.
"If an order has been abrogated should be their" - Christians do not believe in the doctrine of abrogation. But Muslims do according to your qu'ran.
"Or its just a book of history found in cave author caveman" - we as Christians believe that God has personally acted in history both in the Old and New Testament so yes we do see it as a book of recorded history

@Alam22414 "Jesus died on the Cross" - that is correct that is what the bible teaches and affirmed in all four gospels
"You dont have any eyewitness testimony recorded ever says "i saw Jesus died on the cross" - furstly i have to disagree with your standard by applying the exact words criteria to the bible because if i apply the exact words criteria to the qu'ran it will fail the very same standard that you apply to the bible.
Secondly the gospel accounts were written as eyewitness accounts and here is why:
1. Eyewitness authority is inherent to the gospels
- the gospel accounts are written as historical narratives. The life of Jesus is intertwined with historical events locating it in geographically and historically. The gospels repeatedly affirm their own historical, eyewitness nature, mentioning key figures who served to validate the history of Jesus as eyewitnesses: (see John 1:6-7)
2. Eyewitness authority was commisioned by Jesus
- Jesus himself understood the eyewitness status of the apostles. He himself commisioned them to grow the Kingdom on the basis of their eyewitness observation: (see Luke 24:44-49, Acts 1:6-8)
3. Eyewitness authority was affirmed by the gospel authors
- the authors of the Gospels oroclaimed their authority as eyewitnesses. The earliest believers embraced the traditional authorship of the eyewitnesses. The gospel authors and their sources repeatedly identified themselves as eyewitnesses: (see 1 Peter 5:1, 2 Peter 1:16-17, 1 John 1:1-3, John 21:24-25, Luke 1:1-4
4. Eyewitness authority was confirmed by the first believers
- the earliest believers and church fathers accepted the gospel accounts as eyewitness documents. Many of the church fathers wrote about the gospels. Papias when he described the authorship of the gospel of Mark said "Mark having become the interpreter of Peter, wrote down accurately but not in order, whatever he remembered of the things said or done by Christ". In addition to this Papias, Ireneaus, Origen and Jerome affirmed the authorship of Matthews gospel by the Tax collector described in the account, written for the Hebrews in his native dialect and translated as he was able
5. Eyewitness authority was foundational to the growth of the Church
- it should nit come as a suprise to us that the authority of the gospels was grounded in their status as eyewitnesses. The eyewitness authority of the Apostles were unified in the manner in which they proclaimed Jesus Christ. They repeatedly identified themselves first and foremost as eyewitnesses: (see Acts 2:23-24,32, Acts 3:15, Acts 4:20, Acts 4:33, Acts 10:39-42,
6. Eyewitness authority was used to validate New Testament writings
- even Paul understood the impirtance of eyewitness authority. Paul continually referred to his own encounter with Jesus to establish the authenticity of his office and writings. Paul also directed his readers to other eyewitnesses who could corroborate his claims: (see 1 Corinthians 15:3-8)
In Conclusion
The gospels were written as eyewitness accounts within the rich evidential tradition of the early Christian community. The early Church placed high value on the evidence thaf were provided by Jesus and the authority of the apostles as eyewitnesses. The gospels were accepted and also affirmed largely to their status as eyewitness accounts. This authority was:
- inherent to the gospels
- commisioned by Jesus
- affirmed by the gospel authors
- confirmed by the first believers
- foundational to the growth of the church
- used to validate the New Testament canon
