truth it supposedly contains in a court of law, would it be admissable?

I am the coolest guy in the universe. My proof is because I said so. Sounds pretty pompous and stupid doesn't it?

"In The Testimony of the Evangelists, Dr. Simon Greenleaf of Harvard Law School applies the laws of legal evidence to the New Testament accounts. The first rule of municipal law to which he alludes is a follows:
Every document, apparently ancient, coming from the proper repository or custody, and bearing on its face no evident marks of forgery, the law presumes to be genuine, and devolves on the opposing party the burden of proving it to be otherwise.
"He demonstrates the applicability of this rule to the New Testament documents, and notes that there is no pretense that they were engraved on plates of gold and discovered in a cave, nor that they were brought from heaven by angels, but that they are the plain narratives and writings of the men whose names they respectively bear, made public at the time they were written." (1)
"The Bible is the human history book of God's plan through out history. It is based on 1000's of historical facts and eyewitness testimony thoughout the last 5000 years. "Nelson Glueck (a Jewish Reformed scholar and archaeologist) probably gives us the greatest support for the historicity of the Bible when he states, "To date no archaeological discovery has ever controverted a single, properly understood biblical statement.""(2)

It is not a question of "if" it would be admissable in court. The Bible for us all, has already been submitted as evidence in the most supreme court of justice and the Judge is the truth, Jesus Christ is His name and all shall bow their knee to Him and confess that Jesus is Lord..
We are by default condemned and yet we have a way, the only way through Jesus.
Rom 10:9-10
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Your God is a God of Justice.

Either you believe it or not. There is no middle ground. If it isn't ALL the "Word of God" then it is ALL fake. It can't be partly one and not the other. It says in 2 Timothy 3:16 that "All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, instruction in righteousness."

In many ways, the Bible is self-defeating.

I think it would thrown out as heresay evidence. No proof of eye witness accounts, no proof of the authenticity, no proof that it conveys actual events.

It is very much self contradicting.....preaching love..while teaching people to condemn natural instincts..........it is inadmissible to a court of law. what about separation of church and state wouldn't that make it inadmissible in the first place anyway...
