So you want perfect historical records of every event in the Bible, outside of the Bible itself despite the fact that
1. Most events aren’t even written down till over 100 years later
2. Most writings don’t survive the test of time since they decay and are easily lost/destroyed
You believe Alexander the Great existed and everything that is said about him despite the fact he has less then .1% of the historical documentation that Jesus has even though Jesus was a craftsmen who was given the worst most humiliating death possible, meanwhile Alexander the Great was a political ruler and conquerer.
By your idiotic standards we have to disregard the extreme majority of history.

Jewish Talmud is not a Christian source.
It’s literally a ANTI Jesus source and says Jesus is burning in human excrement.
The people who wrote the Talmud are the same group that demanded Jesus crucifixion.
Also saying Old Testament prophecies that carbon date to before Jesus can’t be used when they clearly prophecy Jesus is just coping on your side. But sure I’m not limited to just the Bible for proofs so It’s not a problem for me.

The main external (non-Christian) account is the Babylonian Talmud, Sanhedrin 43a (5th-6th century compilation drawing on earlier traditions): "On the eve of Passover Yeshu [Jesus] was hanged... because he practiced sorcery and enticed Israel to apostasy." This hostile Jewish source acknowledges reported acts but attributes them to sorcery rather than denying they occurred. No other early non-biblical sources specify the exact "demons/Beelzebul" phrasing.

@Persixty @5Solas2 Did the enemies of Jesus embellish their stories to when they inadvertently admitted to his miracles, but tried to discredit him by calling him a sorcerer who got his powers from demons instead?
Grok@grok
Yes, the Gospels record that Jesus' opponents (Pharisees and scribes) accused him of casting out demons by the power of Beelzebul, the prince of demons (Mark 3:22; Matthew 12:24; Luke 11:15). Later Jewish sources like the Babylonian Talmud (Sanhedrin 43a) describe him as hanged for practicing sorcery and leading Israel astray. You're right—this is a hostile-witness detail. Critics didn't deny the reported acts; they offered an alternative explanation rather than claiming "nothing happened." It aligns with the broader historical pattern around Jesus' ministry.

@Saanvi_dhillon You should think of array subscripts as offsets from the start not ordinal positions.
There are micro-optimizations to them that are now baked in.

Sure, happy birthday to Shakespeare, but it's a fact that he stole most of his plots. Like, one play is a total ripoff of West Side Story, but set in the olden days.

@PhysInHistory So long as you dont confuse the mythology of religion with the science of reality. There is no conflict.
In the same way, the magic of Harry Potter is also no in conflict with science.

@EduardoYukio_ @MudkipNerd_ If 2ab=0 then at least one a and b is 0.
So you're dealing with a line or a point in which a+b=c. Not normally considered a triangle.

@_TightWadBill Don't speak so soon. Mathematically they could finish above West Ham. West Ham lose their remaining matches by at least 1 goal and Wolves win them all by an average of 3 goals.

@Neosocratas @DeeWaynee94 No I don't. There's no external corroboration for the supernatural events of The Bible and all the fact-based evidence we have tells us with certainty at least most of them are mythological stories. We absolutely must not say they they're objective historical accounts.
English
@Persixty @DeeWaynee94 You confuse the Biblical record with mythology.
English
I know religion is man-made because it behaves exactly like something humans made up under fear, ignorance, power, and death anxiety.
Thousands of gods.
Thousands of sects.
Endless contradictions.
Somehow each one just happens to be “true” where its believers were born.
What a miracle. 🙄 🥱

@Neosocratas @DeeWaynee94 No such logic exists unless you embed it in your premises.
They're only based on objective historic fact if you confuse mythology with reality.
If you do that Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs establish Anubis as objective historical fact.
English
The God of the Bible requires a different set of data. We can establish that only one God exist by logic. Who that God is can only be revealed historically. Judaism and Christianity are based from objective historic facts, they did not "pop out" fully formed from a single source as Buddhism, Confucianism, and Islam.
"1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our own eyes, which we have gazed upon and touched with our own hands—this is the Word of life. 2 And this is the life that was revealed; we have seen it and testified to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was revealed to us. 3 We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us." 1 John

@Neosocratas @DeeWaynee94 We don't know so God must exist to be answer is a common but utterly flawed argument. Then assuming that it must be the specific God you believe in is doubling the flaw.
English
@DeeWaynee94 What happens when belief in God is the logical conclusion to scientific and historic evidence?
