Believing that a person 'Jesus' physically existed and believing that this person was the son of God, who used his mystical powers to perform all the acts attributed to him in the Bible are two wildly different things.
I understand, as you point out, that the Bible is the definitive resource that Christians get their information about God/Jesus, etc. But it strikes me that it doesn't exactly have the hallmarks of an incredibly accurate resource - we're talking about a collaboration of a number of different authors recording a tale, told previously in the oral tradition, many years after the fact - we're not talking about a first-hand or even second-hand account, but many many hands-old. In the case of the New Testament there's somewhere between 50 to 100 years between events supposedly taking place and it actually being written down. Now I know how out of hand a game of Chinese Whispers can get in 5 minutes let alone 50 years! |
