The Bible is a reliable collection of historical documents that were written by eyewitnesses during the lifetime of eyewitnesses,who reported on supernatural events that took place to fulfil specific prophecies,and they claim they were divine in nature and not of human origin.
No it isn’t.
Your New English Bible is a modern rewording of the King James Bible. That was completed in 1611 and was the work of just 8 ministers belonging to the C of E.
There were (and still are) no original texts to translate. The oldest manuscripts were written down centuries after the supposed death of Jesus Christ. There are over 8,000 in existence and no two are alike.
None of these were used by the King James translators who just reworded the RC Latin text altering passages so they would be approved by King and Parliament. The changes made run to hundreds of thousands.
So here in the 21st century you believe that the “Word of God” is a book edited in the 17th century from 16th century translations of 8,000 contradictory copies of 4th century scrolls that claim to be copies of lost letters written in the 1st century?
