Would you need the Bible if Jesus was physically present with you?

Would you need the Bible if Jesus was physically present with you, walking and conversing with you on a daily basis?

The samefor Prophet Muhammad, Buddha, Lord Krishna, Moses, and all the great souls who came to redeem humanity. If they lived with us now, would we need any of the sacred books we follow now?

It’s impossible for any of these people to be physically present centuries after they died.

@RedBaron It is, of course, in reality; but the question is hypothetical! (I am, by the way, an agnostic.)

@ArishMell IMO, reality is the only realm that is relevant.

Hypothetical questions cannot generate meaningful or realistic responses.

And the Bible wasn’t written by these characters anyway, which further clouds the issue.

@RedBaron Good point!

A hypothetical question can be answered meaningfully, but only if its hypothesis is realistic. This one isn't.
