Can we really trust the Bible? – In this first episode of Unlocking Bible Answers, host Fernando Ortiz is joined by Pastor Vili Costescu and Pastor Andrew Layland to explore some of the most common, and important, questions about the Bible’s reliability, origin, and relevance for today. We explore key questions like:
– Who wrote the Bible, and when was it written?
– What languages was the Bible originally written in?
– How was the Bible put together?
– What is the difference between the Old and New Testaments?
– Is the Bible reliable?
– Has it been changed over time?
– Are there non-biblical sources that mention biblical events or people?
– Does the Bible contain contradictions or errors?
– Is it meant to be taken literally or figuratively?
– Why are there so many translations?
– Why do Christians say the Bible is “alive”?
– What’s the best way to start reading the Bible? Whether you’re curious about the Bible or looking for solid answers, this conversation will help you see the Scriptures in a new light. Want to go deeper? Watch these related videos:
