The bible is the living word and can cut into the soul. You can read it a thousand times and you will always learn something new from it. Also if gospels dont supposedly contradict then sceptics would say it was made up and copied. They are eye witness accounts who died for their eye witnes testimony. Also pen and paper was not so common 2000 years ago. People relied more on memory. Rabbis could recite old testament. In any case gospels are eyewitness accounts and you can be sentenced to death based on eye witness testimony. The bible is a reliable source it shows how holy god is and gives us an escape plan. Jesus words will never die. A fulfilled prophecy
Yeah, no.

This is laughably naive.
Quote:8: Eyewitnesses can be unreliable, but we know that this is not the case with the Gospels, as they are all independent yet corroborative, and their truth is the best explanation for the rise of the early Christian church.
They are riddled with direct contradictions; the two links above, which you will not open, no doubt, document most of them. One day the scales will fall from your eyes, and you will lament the years you've wasted pursuing this folly.
