This week on Resident Strangers Steve and Rich answer a few questions they received about last week's episode on the Bible as well as common questions they have received throughout their years of preaching and teaching. You'll be amazed at how many questions were covered in less than 25 minutes! Questions discussed are: How did we get the Bible? How did the New Testament come about? Did the Church invent the Bible? What about those "extra" books of the Bible? How do we study the Bible? How do we understand doctrine correctly? Does the Bible speak for itself? Why are there different translations of the Bible and how do we determine which is the best one to use?
