Wow, made one big mistake. You said: "based on a historical truth". While you should have added that, occording to the bible it's an historical truth! Scripture is not reliable evidence of any event. You have to go as far as BELIEVING and having 100% FAITH in the infallibility of the bible.

I never said anything about infallibility. Based on standard historical and textual criticism, the biblical texts are very trustworthy. Based on the trustworthy ancient accounts of just four of the writers, I argue that the birth, ministry, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ happened.

You do realise that there is no historical evidence for Jesus? You do realise this? Boy are you in for a shock!

The statement, "There is no fact in the sphere of religion" is a self-defeating argument, as it is a claim in the sphere of religion itself.

If hypothetically accepted as true, the very statement invalidates itself -- it cannot be a factual statement.

The conclusion is that there are indeed facts in the sphere of religion.

The biblical text had withstood the test of time. If you look at the dead sea scrolls you can see that. Also, where ever has the bible been unreliable to history besides the creation story? Furthermore, secular sources also point to a historical Jesus. Virtually all scholars agree on this.

You base your faith on dreams and revelations of people who themselves never wrote anything down. Joseph's dream or Mary's dream of a virgin birth is based on the apostles writings,and not from the dreamer of those dreams them selves. The bibles texts are not trust worthy,and to think they are is blind faith and not faith!
