Evidence for why we know the New Testament writers told the truth.

Are we surprised. It is aways the same stuff. People thinking that if they use the right wording it will be true. Like if I use the right words, the magic will work.

Getting back on topic:
I would like to offer up this bit of information for DOC to consider:
Evidence that christianity or the bible, can't be the true religion.

1.) Slavery is immoral.
2.) Jesus condoned slavery.
3.) Ashoka the Great was the first Emperor to outlaw slavery.
4.) Ashoka was Buddhist.


As such, It is more likely that Buddhism is the true religion and not Christianity.

I thought it was the Mormons who got it right?

Correct. The intro to the Book of Morman contains the following "Concerning this record the Prophet Joseph Smith said: “I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth"".
He has no motive for lying. I am also sure I have seen Joseph Smith described as a drunk and a con man. This negative portrayal proves he is telling the truth.

We know 12 of the 12 people who saw the golden plates testified to the fact, beating Doc’s 11 of 12 Christian martyrs. What more evidence can anyone want?

Photos of Jesus and his disciples having a nice boat trip.
The marriage certificate of whoever was married at Cana.
A nutritional analysis of the wine served there.
The testimony of the poor sods Jesus kicked out of business and the Temple.

Thomas Jefferson was a Mormon, although I accept that he cut some bits of the book of Morman out of his bible.

Mormon's translate Psalm 22 not as "pierced hands and feet" but "Pierce's handy meat". Mormons believe it was an advertisement for Pierce's apocalyptic meat packing Company. "When the world is ending, and that is all she wrote, why not have a bite of our spicy new goat!"

The Finkelstein wedding? Ah, Schlomo and Trixie, what a lovely couple.
 
In DOC's defense, (yes, really!!!) I want to say that, contrary to a lot of blind believers, he at least tests his hypothesis and his evidence (nay, findings).

Thing is DOC, that human history is not at all that easy to prove. It takes a lot and even that lot might not be enough to convince some people.

(Sorry to Godwin) There are even people who do not believe the Holocaust happened, and that was so short a time ago that there are people from that age and a lot of parents of people (like mine) even lived through that time in those places. And there are even records that were kept by the Nazi's. And even that is simply not enough for some.

I am willing to believe this if I see evidence of it. But I have not seen a single hypothesis tested by DOC.

Got me there. I just wanted to say something nice. Sometimes I get that urge when it is many against one.
 
Yes but no, he already decided that the Bible as the literal inherent word of God and entirely true.
He's certainly not testing any of his hypothesis, he is not even seriously admitting that he could be wrong...

IOW, the unpopularity of your position is not evidence of its veracity.
