The new testament wasn't even recorded in real time.
GG @wuzamarine, you just advanced to level 6!
Perhaps it was, but the people that compiled it were some of the most educated people of their time. It’s not intellectually honest to discount it as being the product of the uneducated
3rd tier to.
There are also copies of the New Testament from long before 1000CE, and that’s not even getting into the Old Testament, which is far older than that
The New Testament was started 50 years after the fact. That was only the first couple of paragraphs.
The edits continued up until the 1500s
They’re both a load of horseshit
That bible has more holes than swiss cheese
Ok? 50 years is not that long when you’re dealing with ancient documents. It’s certainly not 1000 years, which is what you initially said
The people who wrote it to was to politically control the masses

How many old vets do you know that are not full of shit?
What do you think history is?
@abby_ella
the first thing you look for is verifiablility.
if the story cannot be 3rd party verified, you may not have absolutely nothing but the creditbility of the author comes seriously into play.
Paul was not known to be a reliable source.

So is your definition of history on applicable to things that can be “3rd party verified?”
That is the minimal standard for proof.
That’s too narrow a definition of what history is. History is also about interpretation
God is fucking gay
He’s a little coward bitch boy
So maybe the authors of the Bible interpreted things incorrectly, but the fact that they interpreted things at all has value to a historian. Their interpretations and understanding of events constitute a part of the history of those events
The definition of history is "his" "story"
But if your information is not 3rd party verifiable, what you have is "his" "roumor".
@abby_ella
Which interpreteation is the correct one?
In math, science, facts, any sane court, two questions can have the same answer but two answers cannot have the same question.

Lol about that point and courts
But the that may be true in math, but math is not history
facts are verifiable. If your fact is not verifiable, you never had a fact to begin with.
Christianity is as much of a cult and a scam as Scientology
@mofth You became 100% correct in the late 1500s

A coverup is a free confession.
Precisely
Jesus promised to rid the world of sin. There’s still sin. Odin promised to rid the world of ice giants. Seen any ice giants lately?
Yes
> swedes
I call bullshit
No
And Odin isn't the protector of mankind, Thor is
He's the one that murders ice giants
The spawn of Odin is upon us.

whenever there's lightning, that's thors hammer impacting with an ice giant
I’m gonna need an actual ice giant birth certificate and liscense before i will reconsider any opinion I have
It's not just ice giants btw
