Reliability of the Bible

Text, transmission, translation, and claims of contradiction.

  1. How Do We Know the Bible Has Not Been Changed?

    “The Bible was copied by hand for centuries and translated over and over. Whatever the original authors wrote, what we have now is a corrupted, edited text that cannot be trusted to say what they said.”

  2. Is the Bible Full of Contradictions?

    “Skeptics circulate long lists of passages that supposedly contradict each other. If even one of them is a real contradiction, the Bible cannot be the word of a God who does not lie, so the honest thing is to admit the book is full of errors.”
    1. Do the Gospels Contradict Each Other About the Women at the Tomb?
    2. Did Paul's Companions Hear the Voice on the Road to Damascus?
    3. What Time Was Jesus Crucified?
    4. Does Genesis Contradict Itself About Creation Being Very Good?
    5. Does Proverbs 26 Contradict Itself About Answering a Fool?

  3. Who Decided Which Books Belong in the Bible?

    “The Bible's table of contents was settled by politics. Constantine and church councils centuries after Christ picked the books that suited them and suppressed the rest, so the canon is a human invention.”
