Bible Discrepancies
My explanation is that the Bible was written by divinely inspired fallible human beings. They got some things wrong. They allowed their own bias and worldview to colour their reports from time to time. But despite that, the Bible is still the most accurate and useful source of information we have about Jesus. God, Christianity, […]
Truth: What Is That?
Those who believe that they are in possession of Truth (or a truth) often ask themselves why others persist in believing in (what appears to the questioner) falsehood–contrary to any proof or argument.
