So you telling me the people who wrote the bible recalled every single thing Jesus/God told them word for word, no mistakes? **Katt Williams voice*

Not that i'm saying the bible is not a work of fiction. But written first hand accounts aren't an unusual thing or a reason to skeptical in and of themselves.

Now what they claimed in their accounts, yes you can understanbly be skeptical. Superpowers like resurrection are scientifically impossible.
but he seems to be acting like a third person perspective alone is reason to doubt, that make no sense. would basically mean that every historical document would have to be autobiographical.

Not necessarily, but to write accounts decades later means exactly how it sounds by OP.

What’s wrong with it?
You placing your mental health around fiction for morality instead of being inherently good for humanity sake. You are looking to be rewarded and fear spiritual punishment.

That then breeds a false reality and causes mental strain which turns into a mental health crises. Check the Black community in America for example.

there are people born after Martin Luther King Jr's death that can recall his speeches word for word.
I'm just saying there are better reasons to doubt their testimony than simply the fact that they aren't the man themselves.
But the point is moot anyway because it's a work of fiction. I believe the intent was to be morality parables to encourage good behavior, not to be an historical text.

Jesus didn’t even tell them shyt

the gospels were written decades after he died
Imagine if today they came out with a new paragraph of The Constitution that Thomas Jefferson allegedly said...but it was written by AOC and everyone believed her.

That's pretty much the entire Bible.
Nevermind that we know, factually, that the King James bible was purposely written to settle English politics.

That's because we have actually concrete evidence of his life, education, and video evidence of him existing.

:blessed:wake they ass up
I actually don’t have a problem with them though, I think they are good tales of morality regardless of their fact or fiction.

the problem is a lot of people who claim to be believers (especially the loudest ones in western society) act nothing like Jesus

So basically nothing is wrong with it, you just have an opinion? Like most “pro” black posters you found a way to work in shytting on brehs.
