Is the Bible Reliable?
Last week we started our new series “Asking for a Friend: Finding Answers to Tough Questions.”
Last Sunday’s question was: “Is the Bible Reliable?” (see video below)
Over the next few weeks we’ll tackle these questions:
“How could a good God send me to Hell?”
“How can Jesus be the only way?”
“Why is there so much evil and suffering in the world?”
I don’t want to rehash a bunch of the information from the sermon but instead wanted to offer some resources* that might help you dive deeper into this topic.
*I have not read, watched, or listened to all of these but can recommend them based on my familiarity with the author and their teachings.
