I think it reasonable to emphasize that much of Christianity cannot be proven true
by means of empirical evidence. In other words; many elements of Christianity
would never hold up in an unbiased court of law wherein facts are afforded far more
value than the words of any one particular holy book; whether the Tanach, the
Koran, the Sutras, the Book Of Mormon, or the Veda, et al.
Using the Bible's statements to prove the Bible's statements are true is sort of like
what would be a jury acquitting defendants based solely upon the accused saying
they didn't do it, viz: the Bible is true to a Christian, but we cannot sensibly expect
it to be true to critical thinkers, i.e. we chose the Bible to be our truth, but not
everyone chooses it to be their truth. So let's not be conducting ourselves in a manner
similar to militant activists waving placards, shouting, baring their teeth, and spraying
spittle; demanding that people defer to their way of thinking.
