Jesus were finished, some written as little as 10 years after Jesus was crucified for mankind's sins. Christianity evolved from there, with the guidance of the Church elders, and the apostles to what it is today.

The Bible, acts as a daily guide for the Christians, especially the letters of Paul and the apostles in dealing with daily issues and matters of life. However, Christianity is not dependent on the Bible, the Bible is a guide yet Christians share a bond with God that cannot be broken even if the Bible was hard to get at.

The Divine God, communicates with mankind and reveals himself to us everyday just as he did over 2000 years ago to Jesus Christ and his followers and just as he did over 4000 years ago to Abraham and his sons. Through God's revelations, we understand more about his love for us and we evolve to grow towards his expectations.

Thus Christianity cannot be extinguished by simply making it harder for Christians to get access to the Bible, but do not get me wrong, I am not belittling Bible. The Bible is the word of God so due respect should be given to it however, if ever a time came where Christians cannot use a Bible or there were no Bibles, then God will speak directly to his people. God will find a way and Mankind will find a way to get closer to God.
