How do you know the men who were inspired to write for the bible had direct communication with a God?

Let's consider the historicity of Jesus. No records were found in Hebrew texts (and the Jews were zealous writers of events and great persons, especially if there was such a messiah) and in Roman historical records (and again, no such mention). Though there was a very brief entry by Josephus (37 - 100 AD), but most scholars doubt the authenticity of that entry and some considered that it was a forgery by Eusebius.

The 4 canonical gospels were written pseudeponymous, not actual apostles or eye-witnesses to the events, but some writers whose origins were never known. The using of apostles names were just a smoke-screen to add weight, credibility and authority to the story. Important points of Jesus genealogies, resurrection contain gross contradictions and contradicting accounts of Judas death is found among the different gospels.

Most importantly, Luke's gospel ended at Mark 16:8, stopping at the part when they found the "tomb was empty", and redactions were added in for resurrection. The gospels were believed to be written from a common source known as the Q extant. If Jesus' genealogies could be traced from his father's link to David, then Joseph had 4 other sons and the question is that why did the line from those 4 sons and the descendants disappear completely from earth?

Is the family of god (Jesus) important to mankind? Confucius (551 - 479 BC) has his 80th descendant traced to Kung Yu-jen of Taiwan, and there are 2 million other descendants worldwide. While it could be easy to fabricate the lie of a mythical figure using past genealogies, it would be difficult to support such a lie without future genealogies (even of his siblings).

Were those gospels available to the common people for review and critique? No. The original gospels were written in Greek.

Most common people, 2000 years ago, were illiterate and rarely owned any book and definitely it would be much rarer for anyone to own a bible. Therefore, what had been spread were orally, without any means to prove it wrong. The gospels were written 40 to 60 years after the death of 'Jesus' and any myths could be added in, especially when it was written NOT in common language and especially when people did not have any books to question those myths.

Matthew's version of the resurrection: earthquake, the whole sky dark, and all past saints were resurrected and roamed around in the towns. Since it was such a supernatural event, why is not such an incident found in all other records of Romans and Hebrews? What were the names of all the past saints who roamed around?

Would it not be that every living human would be interested and curious to find out from the resurrected saints how it would be like to be dead, and solve all of life's mystery, once and for all? And wouldn't every living being who witnessed the resurrected saints be compelled into instant believers (Jews, Romans, etc)? It was easy to write about the lie, but hard to support it, when we ask the pertinent questions.

And the most important point stressed throughout the New Testament is that if you have the faith, you should never doubt or question what is in the bible. That, by itself, precludes and prevents believer from ever doubting it - to force the bible as "the truths". Isn't it ironical?

Amen. A great testimony! Muslims are born into islam.

To most muslims, islam is an inherited religion. They have no idea that the koran copied from scripture. They have no idea that their religious book is so corrupted.

The teachings of the koran make a great case against it. But look, just as God says in His Word, they are blind and deaf. They can't see nor u/stand even when its before their eyes ... terrorists kill innocent people ... for what reason ... just so they can have SEX with ... 72 virgins.

A 1-yr old child is married off to an adult male ... is this teaching by God or satan, you tell me. Obviously allah isn't the God of the Holy Bible. I see islam as occultic ... it is deep into the occult.

During abraham's time, there was no koran-mohd. So WHO did abraham worship? The God of scripture.

Yet muslims claim they worship the God of abraham ... how ludicrous is this. Since the God of abraham is the God of scripture, ie the Holy Bible, WHY are muslims worshipping an idol named allah-mohd? And yet claim they worship the God of abraham?

This is clearly a LIE. But these buggers are blind and deaf ... God says so.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
