Why do Christians trust the Bible?

[Jenny A]

The only way I'll attempt to answer is through another question- did you know biographies of confucius's life weren't available for 400 years after he died. (Of course you first have to believe confucius existed first)

Note this isn't the answer to your most recent question

On this forum at least four Christians have at some point said that atheists and secular scholars subject the New Testament to scrutiny that we do not apply to other historical texts.

Confucius is a lovely example of the fact that secular scholars do apply that same scrutiny to other texts. The biography of Confucius is considered suspect because it was written several hundred years after his death. Further, just which of the writings attributed to Confucius was actually written by him is also in dispute. http://www.egs.edu/library/confucius/biography/
