The Truth About the Bible

In this sermon, the pastor addresses the question 'Why should I trust the Bible?' by examining both historical evidence and personal application. He explains that the Bible is a collection of 66 books written over 1500 years by approximately 40 authors, with the New Testament written within 15-60 years after Jesus' death by eyewitnesses. The pastor contrasts this with other historical figures whose biographies were written hundreds of years after their deaths. He discusses the remarkable preservation of biblical texts, including over 5,800 Greek manuscripts and the Dead Sea Scrolls which demonstrate textual consistency over thousands of years.
