"Eyewitness"? Cut the crap, Vidrine.

Let's see. The earliest portions of the NT were written down not earlier than 30 AD; documenting continued for more than a century after that. The NT was not compiled into its final form until the Council of Nicea- -about 300 AD as I recall.

Decades of oral re-telling produced changes and errors? Nah, couldn't be.

You are aware, aren't you, that this is one of the Moslems main criticism of the NT- -that the message was distorted over time before it was written down?

But who are they? Just more ignorant unbelievers. Not only that, but they're SEMITES!

<< The New Testament historical documents are filled with eyewitness accounts of people who knew Jesus personally. >>

The New Testment was written by men, and bore witness to a very confusing time in mankinds past, where magic and sorcery were commonly believed as true.

Emile, my friend, have you read Just Revenge by Alan M. Dershowitz? It is another good book.
