24. Is the New Testament true? The Confident Faith Podcast
-
- Christianity
In this episode of the Confident Faith podcast we're looking at the question, 'is the New Testament true?'
When examining the reliability of the New Testament there are two overarching questions that must be answered:
(1) Have the original writings been accurately copied and passed down to us through history? In other words, is the New Testament we read today the same as the original documents written approx. 2,000 years ago?
(2) Did the events recorded in the original writings actually occur? Were the apostles telling the truth, or were they lying, or perhaps innocently mistaken, about the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus?
This episode is dedicated to answering the second of these two overarching questions. An effective way to do this is to examine a cumulative case for the truth of the New Testament which consists of five lines of evidence - all starting with the letter ‘e’.
