Think the Bible Has Errors? Here's What you Might be Missing

Can you defend the inerrancy of Scripture? What do we mean when we say the Bible is inspired by God? Maybe you've heard that the Bible contains the word of God, or that it becomes the word of God, or that the Bible's concepts are the word of God. In today's podcast, I hope to show that the Bible, in its entirety, IS the Word of God. We talk through different views of biblical inspiration, and discuss the philosophical argument for inerrancy. ------------------------------------------------------------------ This video is sponsored by: FOUNDATION WORLDVIEW Foundation Worldview creates curriculum series that will empower your child to think Biblically in a deceptive world.
