it is safe to say that it is NOT accurate.

The Bible was written in approximately 412 AD. This is around 378 years after Jesus died. Not 1000. Even then it can't be accurate. Doesn't the fact that there are so many versions (Peter, Paul, Matthew) of the same story, but they are all different prove that?

I think you added an extra "0" there -- some of the gospels were written as much as *100* years after jesus' death, but not 1000.
And of *course* it's not accurate...that's a given. Even if it was 10 years after his death.
Peace.

The last book of the Bible [ Revelation] was written by the last apostle, John in 96 C.E.
If John was the same age as Jesus, [ the Bible does not say] then he was about 96 when he wrote Revelation.
John the apostle is not the same person as John the baptiser, who was Jesus' cousin and six months older.

The first N.T. book was written about 15 years after Jesus resurrected, the last about 50 years later. Your dates are very wrong. All N.T. writers knew Jesus, with the possible exception of Luke-but we do not really know that for sure.

Nothing in the Holy Bible was written 1000 years after Jesus. Anything else is not considered God breathed scripture, and real Christians do not give credit to them. We have writings from the early church fathers throughout Christian history, but they are historical not scriptural.

The known authors of the New Testament are eye witnesses of Jesus. They were all adults when they encountered Christ. Their written accounts were between middle age and old age.
None of the New Testament was written even fifty years afterwards.

The believers don't need to know - they just believe and that's enough for them.
If you were to somehow overnight insert into all the bibles of the world the verse: "and on the eighth day God created peanut M&Ms. God looked upon them and said 'these are yummy' and they were yummy." you can bet anything there would very shortly be a run on peanut M&Ms. And the believers would soon (in a few generations at the latest) be swearing that passage was there all along.

Different parts were written at different times. Most were 70 to 120 years after Jesus died.
They hand wrote them, and passed them down untill the printing press.

The story of the adulteress Jesus saved from stoning wasn't added to the Bible until the 12th Century AD... it actually happened through an editing error! And we won't even go into the books that were deleted and/or suppressed, or the 2 millenia's worth of subsequent mistranslations.

Ancient history is written many thousands of years afterward. How do we know it is accurate? How do we know that the Romans conquered the Greeks who conquered the Persians many many years before Jesus? It is just faith in the authors. Be they Bible authors or Historical authors.
You really were weak on this one. Better bring something stronger next time.
