Here are links to my posts about the historical unreliability of the stories about alleged events in the life, ministry, trials, crucifixion, and burial of Jesus found in the first three Gospels:
The Strategy of my Case for the Historical Unreliability of Matthew, Mark, and Luke
The Historical Unreliability of the Gospel of Luke
The Historical Unreliability of the Gospel of Matthew
The Historical Unreliability of the Passion Story in the Gospel of Mark
Because each of these Gospels are historically unreliable in terms of stories about events in the life, ministry, crucifixion, and burial of Jesus (i.e., careful investigation of these stories casts significant doubt on them), people who think critically will maintain healthy skepticism about any historical claims that are based on these Gospels, including historical claims asserted by Christian aplogists in cases for the resurrection of Jesus.
That is, critical thinkers will demand clear and strong historical evidence before accepting any historical claims about alleged events in the life of Jesus (especially concerning the alleged trials, crucifixion, burial, and post-crucifixion appearances of Jesus) that are based on these Gospels. Simply quoting passages from these Gospels will NOT be sufficient evidence to establish such historical claims.
