What's New
- How should I respond to a friend who does not believe Jesus existed, saying Tacitus, Josephus and oral tradition are not reliable?
- Did Peter actually write the book of Second Peter? I have heard some doubt about this.
- Are people with deep convictions born into other religions saved? Is it fair if they did not have as much opportunity to hear?
- How do you explain the biblical stories in Genesis of people living 900+ years?
- Regarding Old Testament prefigures and foreshadows: how much evidence is there that these things really happened (Abraham, Moses, etc)? Actually there are nine really good questions here. Lots of stuff!
- Do we need historical evidence outside the Bible to establish the historicity of Jesus?
- Why does Josephus not mention any of the miracles Jesus worked?
- Prophetic misinterpretations in Matthew (cont.)
- I believe the New Testament is reliable, but the Old Testament is not reliable. Does not the unreliability of the OT impact how we should think about what Jesus said because he quotes it?
- Was the New Testament written in Hebrew?
