I Don't Have Enough FAITH to Be an ATHEIST

Can We Really Believe the Bible is Inerrant? Plus More Q&A


Listen Later

Do you have to believe that the Bible is completely without error to be a true Christian? If you don’t agree with the Bible, you ultimately find yourself at odds with the teachings of Jesus and that’s never a good idea. But if both the Old and New Testaments have discrepancies, why should we consider our Bible to be inspired?

This week, Frank dives into the issue of the inspiration of Scripture and tackles several questions from the audience, briefly discussing topics like abortion, free will, and God’s sovereignty. He’ll also examine some of the apparent contradictions in the Bible and offer insights from scholars and theologians regarding the variations between the eyewitness testimonies recorded in the New Testament. During the episode, Frank will answer questions like:

  • Do humans beings inevitably make mistakes? If so, how can we trust the Bible?
  • If everything happens for a reason, do we still have free will?
  • How did St. Augustine approach the inerrancy of Scripture?
  • Why is it important to have an eternal perspective?
  • Does the parable of the landowner contradict the promise of rewards in heaven?
  •  

    Additionally, Frank will take us into the cosmic realm and explore the implications of the Big Bang on the creation story in Genesis. For those wanting to go deeper into these questions, Frank shares his recommended reads to expand their understanding. If grappling with challenging passages in the Bible has been a hurdle for you, this episode is a must-listen! By the conclusion of this podcast, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how to interpret the Bible within its literary and historical framework, empowering you to steer clear of common misinterpretations of Scripture.
