The Evidence for Bible Events

One of the best evidences that the things written in the Bible are true is the Bible itself.

(Things like: what did Jesus really say? did He really do miracles? was He really crucified, buried and did He really rise from the dead?)

The Bible itself is evidence. I know that idea will be ridiculed by some, because some people seem to feel that the Bible must be rejected as evidence simply because it's the Bible.

But the reality which those people must be able to refute before they can say that, is the fact that the Bible contains eyewitness accounts of many of the events it describes. In any court of law, there is no better evidence than an eyewitness. So why disallow the Bible as evidence?

In regard to the record about Jesus, it is indisputable, from a historical and literary point of view, that the New Testament record concerning Jesus was written in the first century, by eyewitnesses, for readers many of whom could have confirmed or denied the events described and yet there was widespread acceptance of the facts as written.

That means we have reliable evidence for what Jesus said and did and for what happened to Him.

On the topic of Noah's flood and the creation account, it is evident that Jesus accepted the record of the Book of Genesis. He referred to Noah. He even quoted from the creation story. Agreeing with Jesus is therefore enough of a reason to take the Genesis record as true.
