The Historical Reliability of the New Testament

[robvalue]

@all, fun rant, don't freak out

One thing that amazes me is that people are impressed when the bible gets something right. Wow, someone knew the name of a town that they lived in! Someone knew that Egyptians existed! Someone knew that cutting your head off kills you!

If this is supposed to be divinely inspired, I would expect nothing less than absolute truth throughout. Hitting the odd target now and again like a drunk staggering around in boxing training really isn't impressive. Not even for a normal book that's supposed to be about history, let alone one written with the help of a god.

Yeah, anyone can get stuff right sometimes. Especially stuff you'd expect them to know anyway.
