I'm agnostic (don't know, don't believe I can know) about that, leaning toward skeptical. I am also somewhat skeptical that all the recorded sayings of Jesus are accurate. There could have been additions and edits after the fact.
You know we could comfortably doubt until we aren't sure we as a human being that we are really real. There's a psych disorder for that, Timmy
Point being, at some point you have to recognize nothing is sealed tight for our inspection, but trust enough to follow the evidence. Timmy, it's possible that man never landed on the moon. I mean, people could have bamboozled us on that one. At some point, I trust the credibility of the men and women who reported it, shown us the evidence and accept it as fact.

Which, to me, doesn't detract from the value of some of His teachings, BTW. Whether a literal man named Jesus said (or did) everything attributed to Him or not, the teaching was revolutionary and (mostly) worth following. Jefferson-style!
(Referring to Thomas Jefferson's admiration of Jesus's moral code, and his book The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth, which is his compilation of the Jesus's teachings. Bought a copy in Virginia a while back, but haven't perused it yet.)

Growing Pains evidence is the key word....What evidence do we have to say the bible is 100% totally correct...We have evidence man landed on the moon
Romans 1 says plenty on this.
The historicity and wide-documented evidence of Christ is also very secure.
You can't simply say He was a good man, and deny every word that came out of his mouth. He was either insane or he was the Son of God. There's no "he was a good man with nobel ideas" about it. That's picking and choosing to the umpteenth degree.
Lee Strobel has some great documentation and literature about Christ's life, his truth claims and even his resurrection. Plenty of proof.
Man on the Moon. We could say it was all a TV studio and fake. You see, doubt has no real end.
Just look at the shape the world is in thats proof right there that man can screw something up....
Need I remind you of the times when man has also gotten it wrong. It's a balancing act. Just like nature. It appears beautiful, and at times above man, but then we see the species that eat their own, that are blood savages, etc It's representative as man. That's why the whole Lion laying with the Lamb is symbolic of creation groaning together for that day.
