Gospels Contradict? | Gospels Reliable? Video 8 - Josh.org

Gospel Authors Lying? | Gospels Reliable? Video 7 - Josh.org

If you are making up a story, you would not include details that make your heroes look bad. And yet frequently the Gospels of Jesus are almost humorous because the disciples of Jesus consistently appear clueless! Why would they lie? What would they have to gain? The early followers of Jesus were persecuted. Many were beaten, tortured, bankrupt, denounced by their friends and family, or even killed for proclaiming Jesus.

The life of Jesus is documented both by Christians and non-Christians who saw him as a real person who lived, taught, and died on a cross.
