The Jesus Freaks Will Hate This

[The Reality Salesman01]

I don't believe that the accounts in the gospels were not from eyewitnesses. Saying that eyewitnesses didn't write the gospels doesn't mean that the accounts were not from people who viewed the events.

... And, of course, I believe in the intervention of the Holy Spirit in ensuring that the bible included the truth which God intended to be relayed to us.

So you found out that those books were written 30 years after the alleged events took place. You then concluded that this was just as reliable as an actual eyewitness and then you shored all that up with the unsupported conclusion that God helped them write it 30 years later (for some reason) and you feel confident that God wouldn't let those guys screw it up. That's objective? That's nonsense Lek. You can do better. I don't feel like you even want to research this honestly. Part of doing objective research means you have to be willing to revise your belief. But you found that your belief was false and then reinforced it with assumptions and selection bias.
