Moral Inconsistency
If some laws are not valid,
then No law is valid
& therefore- All God’s laws are invalid.
Absolute laws exist while time, manner, &
place exceptions exist.

Josh McDowell
The Bible claims to be the Word of God-…. Like other books that
make similar claims.
The difference is- the Scriptures
contain INDISPUTABLE EVIDENCE
of being the Word of God.

Winfried Corduan: Philosophy & Religion Professor
“ No other ancient documentation equals the NT when it comes to the preservation of manuscripts, both in terms of numbers & closeness in time to the originalautographs.”
Questioning the Bible’s credibility as an ancient manuscript requires tossing out the validity of every other manuscript found. P. 84

Alex McFarland
OT strength is its QUALITY. NT strength is QUANTITY.

Criticisms
Scientology & Islam facts distort Jesus
The Da Vinci Code: NT written centuries after Christ w/ revisions.
Myth was perpetuated that power hungry men fought over content with ”winners” earning the right to do final edits.
More than 24,000 copies of NT manuscripts have been found…..and ALL of these have matched one another word for word, as was the case with the OT.

Louis CasselsUPI Religion Writer
“The ‘debunk Jesus’ books accept as
much of the Gospels as they find
convenient—like ‘God is love’—then
ignore or repudiateother parts which contradicts their
notions.”
