The New Testament is and contains eye witness reports to the fact of Jesus death and resurrection to eternal life. Jesus was the first. We will follow... one way or the other.
I'm starting to think that he's just a super dedicated troll... I mean, someone sane couldn't possibly say this and truly believe in this.
Hearsay accounts are not eyewitness accounts.
Christian literalists will stop at no lengths to persuade you that the bible is a reliable historical account of Jesus. At the same time, persuading you that other competing holy books are deeply flawed.
Perhaps we should throw our all the records about ancient Greek and Roman philosophers and scientists as well. Have you just pulled your head out of the sand, or what? Sounds like you need to stick it back in there.
Depending whether they fit inside your narrow religious doctrine guidelines will decide if you throw them out or not.
Anyway, the point is, the gospels aren't eyewitness accounts because eyewitnesses didn't write them. They are not firsthand accounts. They just say what they heard, hence "heresay".
Using the word "eyewitness(es)" is rather misleading. Which is common delibrate tactic, as we would expect.
As usual, you try to set yourself up as God by misrepresenting the things of God.
Show me one animal who died, was buried, resurrected after 3 days and is alive today.
Just one example. If you don't have it, just crawl back into your Texan hole and shut up.
You sound so bitter... so angry... so in pain... so in need of love. But you will just have to do your own research into resurrected animals if this is something you are really looking for.
It is faith. The resurrection will happen at the return of Jesus, the first person to be resurrected. We believe this by faith, just the same as you believe what you believe by faith.
The difference is that you have weak faith. Here is what I mean. Your faith is based on the fact that you don't see any resurrected animals. You have all this evidence to base your knowledge on, so you don't need much faith.
We have strong faith. We don't see any resurrected animals, either. But we still believe in the resurrection. If we saw some resurrected animals, our faith wouldn't be as strong as it is, because some of it would turn into knowledge.
God wants us to believe Him when He tells us about the coming resurrection. We DO believe Him, because we have strong faith.
Faith is the basis of living, because nobody knows what will happen in the next minute. We all live by faith. We have faith that the next minute will be at least as good as the last. It would benefit you a whole lot to have faith in God, so that you can have strong faith rather than weak faith. Maybe then you wouldn't be so bitter.
