That came out of the bible, as we know, can't be relied on for assumptions. So how does that disprove my first sentence?
It doesn't. I might be mistaken, but it seems to me that Rwandrall is playing devil's advocate here and asking you to argue his specific statements. Sounds like a fun exercise to me. Let's see if I can do it:
-Jesus is not real or at least is not God.
Nope. There are many good arguments against Jesus divinity, but proof? No, I have none to offer.
-The prophecies are bullshit.
If you are talking about the messianic prophecies, Jesus did not fulfill them. The messiah was supposed to unite the tribes of Israel, take up the sword and throw off the oppressors of the Jews. Jesus did none of those things.
-The Bible is not at all perfect.
The bible is not at all perfect, it contradicts itself continually. For example: God is love, love is never jealous, I am a jealous God.
