Yes the Bible is true because you have the four authors of the Gospel who all four saw Jesus Christ and what He did on this earth. You also have more than 500 eyewitnesses who saw Jesus when He rose from the grave. They all have different writing styles but they all believed that Jesus Christ was God. The Bible has some history that we didn't know about in the past about Israel. 2 Peter 1:16 " We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty." This verse explains that they didn't make up the story rather they told you about it because they were eyewitnesses that saw Him. Side: Yes
I'm going to assume that this debate is based on the contents of the Bible as a whole are true, and, more significantly, that the God, based solely on Biblical text, is true. Now, I shall begin. Yes the Bible is true because you have the four authors of the Gospel who all four saw Jesus Christ and what He did on this earth. There could very easily be a historical person named Jesus Christ. However, that does not support the supernatural tasks that are attributed to him in the Bible. You also have more than 500 eyewitnesses who saw Jesus when He rose from the grave. They all have different writing styles but they all believed that Jesus Christ was God. Bandwagon fallacy. Just because there are testimonies to Jesus Christ's supernatural abilities doesn't make it so.
The Bible has some history that we didn't know about in the past about Israel. Regardless of the Bible's historical elements, this does not prove it's supernatural aspect, which consists of a large part of the Bible. 2 Peter 1:16 " We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty." This verse explains that they didn't make up the story rather they told you about it because they were eyewitnesses that saw Him. Bandwagon fallacy, again. Eyewitnesses do not necessarily prove something to be true, in this case Jesus's supernatural power. Side: No
There could very easily be a historical person named Jesus Christ. However, that does not support the supernatural tasks that are attributed to him in the Bible. Yes it does support it because the four authors saw Jesus Christ performing those miracles and they witnessed it and they recorded it down and they only thing they could do back then was record it down because they only had pen and paper and word of mouth. Let say you saw a car accident and not only you saw it but 3 other people saw the car accident and the police officer asks all 4 of you what happened in the accident and you explained what happened to them what happened but the other 3 eyewitnesses said the same thing but it was more descriptive so in other words you all four saw the accident the police is going to take that as evidence. The police office isn't going to say that you lied about it or it is false he is going to accept the evidence that you and the other 3 people who eye witnessed it. Its the same thing as the Bible and the 4 authors of the Gospel. Regardless of the Bible's historical elements, this does not prove it's supernatural aspect, which consists of a large part of the Bible. The Bible predicted that Israel would be a nation before it became a nation and yet it did become a nation in 1948. That is one point that proves the Bible is true. Bandwagon fallacy, again. Eyewitnesses do not necessarily prove something to be true, in this case Jesus's supernatural power. So according to you eyewitnesses do not prove something is true? What about news reporters? They are in the field and they eyewitness things and they bring it up in the news then I guess according to you then it must not be true since they eye witnessed it. What about the court cases? They record all the things people have done in the past, their name, what they did, and what the date is and some people even eye witnessed it. I guess we got to throw out that one too because you don't believe that eye witnesses can prove something to be true. Get my point? Eye-witnesses can prove something to be true. Side: Yes
