[GingisK]

Those multitudes did not act as direct witnesses to this age, therefore, what is in the Bible is what is called hearsay evidence. The "second hand" witnesses are already classified as hearsay, but over 100 generations in the past.

The real difference between these two topics is the intervention of the Holy Spirit. Even your Faith is a Gift from God.

No, in both Matthew and John we have first hand accounts of Jesus meeting with scores of people. If both were alive to testify it would not be hearsay.
