Actually all the stuff about Jesus' was written second hand. And all the bible stories aren't written by the people that are in them. Adam didn't write genesis, moses didn't transcribe the flood story, etc. So no its not firsthand witness accounts. In fact, none of it is.
And lots of stuff in the bible is clearly false, and has been proven false. Just because the religious community rejects that doesn't mean anything.
Revelation 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
To even write that means you don't understand what stars are.

Really .... Can I have an example? Because it would be widely posted and could be found .... And I didn't say genesis was written by Adam, and the ark was written by noah. The books in the bible were written by people obviously from letters and documentation of first hand accounts of the men and woman that walked with jesus and who were chosen by God to get the message told.

Also my bad, on the Noah name mix up.

Then the bible isn't written first hand. Its written second hand. As you just claimed. Not only that, there is no historical evidence outside of claims in the bible, of who actually wrote many of the books of the bible. There are portions that are confirmed as having the author claimed, but there's more mystery than fact. Every account of Jesus that is used as credit for his existence, is credited to heresay from people who lived long after the time of Jesus. Also there is no mention of jesus in the well documented execution records of the time of Pontius Pilate the roman ruler who supposedly killed put him on the cross. So taking the bible as a evidence, is questionable at best.

Lol there are many documents from others .... Not just the disciples and prophets naming/showing and backing up what happened in the bible. Not to mention the things being discovered in the Middle East, plus the truth and prophecy that is being shown over there. Don't be blind open your eyes .... Things that are happening over there have been said would happen over 2000 years ago in the bible ..... Buuuuttttt lets just chalk that up to coincidence right?

Things? Wow so impressive. And who would've thought that a land that's been contested for almost all of human history would still be contested. So surprising. Any other magical prophecies? Also heresay accounts are considered evidence now?
-
It's contested just like it was in the bible .... Exactly what the bible says ... It's all magical and fairy tales to those that chose to not follow God .... Laugh all you like but it won't change anything about the truth. I can't and am not trying to force you or anyone to believe btw. Im just stating my opinion.
-
So thats the only great prophecy in the bible that's come true? If we wanna base validity on prophecy then Christianity is a little behind.
-
No I just stated one thing ..... Go read it dude. It amazes me how many people try and discredit the bible have never even opened it. Read the whole thing. And yeah you can say I don't have time to read a fairy tail like everyone else has said .... If you haven't taken the time to read it then you can't disprove anything.

Actually I've read the whole thing, several times. I was a Christian for 15 years. If you understand "have faith" isn't an answer, then you'll see the bible for what it is.

The bible is the word of God written so that we can know the truth. Sorry to hear you aren't walking with the Lord anymore. Makes me sad to know you turned away from him. May I ask what caused this? ( you don't have to answer ) you could pm if you want.

I realized what faith is. I saw all the illogical fallacies. I saw how all the different religions all claim that their religion is the true religion. I took a step back and examined it with the same scrutiny you would use to look at any of the other religions like Scientology. Basically I woke up.
