I feel like I answered this same question (maybe in a different form) in another thread? I apologize if I am wrong but I think that answer applies just as well. You asked me:
“Hello Vinnie! How do you keep faith in Jesus despite all the contradictions in Scripture? Thank you”
I responded with: “I became a Christian and remain one due to personal experiences while reading about Jesus in the Gospels, not because through a careful study in my high school years I realized a 2,000 year old anonymous text written 40 years after the nature-defying, miraculous events it reports are all demonstrable true. God is sovereign and speaks to us how he wants and through whatever method he chooses.”
There is no historically proving the resurrection so what I am saying has no impact on it. It is faith or nothing. I have pointed out it is historically secure that Jesus’s followers thought he appeared to them after his death. Nothing more can be said than that. There is no plausible reason to suppose the Gospels can be used as positive evidence to prove a resurrection, as if God’s salvific grace and sovereign ability to speak to us is dependent on the mighty intellectual prowess of apologists.
I mean how many Christians throughout history didn’t even possess complete Bibles and were illiterate? God still managed to reach them despite their inability to historically prove all the details in the gospels were true. Historical apologetics bas some value but i can’t give any consent to basing faith on it.
