Is the Bible accurate? The short answer is yes. I don't want to waiver in that answer, but it does require a little bit of explanation. The purpose of the Bible is to present to us God's story of redemption and how it is that we can enter into a relationship with Him. The Bible wasn't written as a science textbook or even a complete history of the world. But, if the Bible presents something as true, then it’s true. For example, if the Bible presents an event as having happened, then that event happened. The Bible is true in what it declares to be true. It doesn't tell us everything, but what it does tell us is factual. So, is the Bible true? The answer is yes, everything the Bible presents as true is true.
