The way I go about judging the Old Testament prophets is by seeing what Jesus thought of them (seeing as how Jesus is God and all...). I think Jesus didn't have a problem with the OT (he used it regularly, he alluded to it, the Jews at the time accepted it but Jesus didn't speak up about it being wrong - whereas he constantly spoke up about other beliefs the Jews were wrong about), so I don't have a problem with the OT.
I think the new layout stopped me from posting. I couldn't be bothered to get used to it.

This is pretty off topic now - but I use historical evidence to judge that claim (eg. Gospel biographies of Jesus + resurrection etc).

Right, so you judge it empirically.

If you want to call it that, yeah.
