Why do Christians trust the Bible?

2) Jesus. H. Christ - I think i answered the first part of your question. But the second part of your question . . . I really don't know how to respond. I guess that really does depend on how we CHOOSE to see it and interpret? I'll get back to you on this.
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

I don't know anything about Confucious, but I would take anything supernatural with a grain of salt, especially when written so far removed. If the claims seem reasonable, then I wouldn't have a reason to doubt it. Of course a scholar of ancient China would have the knowledge and tools to determine what is really from Confucious and what is spurious.

There are claims Vespasian cured the blind with spit - eye witnesses too - and it's written down. Vespasian certainly existed, but do you believe he cured blindness with spit as the eye witnesses claim?

If the only criteria is "eye witness" we'd have to accept many, many extraordinary claims. Caesar turning into a god on the way to heaven and so forth.

So, how are the Jesus claims of supernatural activity any different than the claims for Vespasian, Caesar or Appolonius of Tyrana? On what basis do you accept some and reject others?

So now you believe Jesus was really a man in judea circa 1st century CE?
