Why We Can Trust the Reliability of the New Testament

Posted on by

“These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit (Ruach), whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.” — John 14:25-26

Without a doubt, the New Testament (and by other means the Old Testament) has indeed been preserved through the ages for us to learn from today. These people helped me to understand their reliability and their historical authenticity.

How (Not) to Read the Bible with Dan Kimball

Posted on by

Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless; and consider that the longsuffering of our Master is salvation — as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.

You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked; but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Master and Savior Yeshua the Messiah.

To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.
 — 2 Peter 3:14-18

Understanding Islam from Former Muslim Nabeel Qureshi

Posted on by

And He (Yeshua Immanuel) went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. Then one said to Him, “Master, are there few who are saved?”

And He said to them, “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able. When once the Master of the house has risen up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, ‘Master, Master, open for us,’ and He will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know you, where you are from,’ then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets.’ But He will say, ‘I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.’ There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of Alohiym (Creator God), and yourselves thrust out. — Luke 13:22-28
