Christian faith requires belief in the Bible. Many people today find this belief an insurmountable obstacle to overcome. Even those who do believe the Bible often struggle with what they read and the questions that emerge. There are many reasons why a person may object to the reliability of the Bible. Some reasons are more intellectual in nature, while others are born out of real life experiences. However, three of the most common reasons a person may object to belief in the Bible are it appears at various points to be:
- Scientifically impossible
- Historically unreliable
- Culturally regressive
On Tuesday February 4 from 6-7 PM at the Black Sheep Pub (just north of Tenth Church on 17th St.), we will discuss some of these objections and consider whether or not a case can be made for the historical reliability of the Bible.
