Hello, do you trust the validity of the New Testament, in parts or as a whole? It was written quite some time after Jesus. How do we know it's true?
The Bible, both the Old and the New Testaments are completely reliable--you can have full confidence in them. In the case of the New Testament, copies of the gospel witness accounts were in wide circulation from shortly after the Resurrection (probably from the foundation of the Church at Pentecost). The Epistles were copied over and over and circulated through the churches as well. You must remember that the Jewish believers who were responsible for writing them down (and it is possible that Luke was a Jew as well) all understood that it was their sacred duty and privilege to be the conduit of the Holy Spirit's inspiration of their words. They understood the eternal consequences of lying about even the smallest detail.
