Is the Bible Reliable?
5 Principles of Bible Interpretation to Remembe
Eric Lyons
Anyone truly attempting to understand the Bible must consider some basic principles of interpretation that allow for a reasonable treatment of the Book. In order to be as fair with the Bible writers as we would want others to be with us, the following principles should be considered, especially when Bible contradictions are alleged.
The Reliability of Jesus
Eric Lyons
Can we really trust Jesus? If so, why did He once say that His “witness is not true”? Why did He predict that He would rise from the dead after three days if He really rose on the third day? Join Eric as he discusses these and other questions that skeptics often ask about the Son of God.

Eric Lyons

In this lesson, Eric addresses several alleged contradictions and demonstrates how they can be resolved simply by acknowledging that many times Bible writers did not record events in a strict sequential order.

Eric Lyons
In our scientifically advanced age, Americans’ skepticism of biblical inerrancy appears to have reached an all time high, especially in regard to matters of the Bible and science. How can a book, parts of which were written 3,500 years ago, have relevant scientific data? How could the Bible writers have made accurate statements about the heavens, long before the invention of telescopes and satellites? How could their references to zoology, botany, astronomy, and human anatomy be trustworthy?

Eric Lyons
