His report, or what some ancient writer thought he heard Him say?
OK, so your problem is based on not believing the Bible is the inerrant Word of God. My advice would be, if you are open minded, to look at some of the ancient prophecy that has already been fulfilled. For example look at most of the prophecies of Daniel. You will see that they were fulfilled exactly, in some cases to the day. If that does not give you confidence the the Bible is the Word of God, then you are hopeless. Just do me a favor and stop calling those of us who believe in the Bible “dumb as a box of rocks”. Some of us are highly educated!
