Is the Bible Reliable?

[@suzaniovieno2023]

Thank you so so much! Loving all your teachings ❤❤❤. Me and my house shall serve the lord our God ♥️♥️♥️

[@Third_Camp_fellowship]

Thanks Jim for doing the work. And it's definitely not easy to be a Christian...it's true and that's all that matters.

[@cindyjohnson4682]

Thank you! An amazing presentation on the historicity of the New Testament! I sure wish more churches presented the evidential aspects of the Bible.

[@hubertagamasu6283]

Why is this not as popular as Ehrman's deceits? All churches should play this video at church.

[@benjaminhart7673]

Outstanding presentation!

[@Romero610]

Once again Jim , t hank you so much for this video presentation. I watched it twice .I have just recently heard of Bart Ehrman and his lecture about we don't have copies of copies etc etc . I had never heard that before and this really shook me. I am so glad you covered this and it and strengthened my faith even more. Thank you once again !

[@Musicchick60]

1:22:40 The three motives he covers boil down to this: 16 “For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.” (1 John 2:16)

[@meamisano]

This presentation is GOLD!

[@fridge3489]

Agreed! J. Warner Wallace is The Man.

[@imranmeco3393]

I've been sent this video by a person I was having a discussion with, and let me tell you, it is, by far, the best argument for Christianity I've heard so far. The allegories and the detective angle are unique and innately understandable, and the speaker's charisma and rhetorics (that word gets a bad rap, but I mean it in a good way) are just radiating off of him. The video's still fresh in my head and I still have ideas to digest here with this newfound view on Jesus (especially since I still haven't made the devil's advocate case yet, which I do for evrything important when changing my mind). My biggest gripe is still with an omniscient omnipotent and benevolent God, and all of the issues that brings up (the problem of evil, free will, contradictions where an omniscient being regrets doing something and changing its mind, etc.). Either way, fantastic video! I wish it was more popular. (Also, if anyone can help me with those issues with God, like the kind opinion opponent I was arguing with did with this, I'd be more than grateful, cause I haven't been able to find compelling arguments on my own).

[@JasonNapalm72]

Hello Imran, i am happy to discuss those matters with you, if I can answer then then I will 👍🏻

[@MsBellsandy]

I could type various answers but this came to mind. While reading the old testament it floored me how many times God actually repeated himself, continuously gave warnings, and people STILL were surprised when another country conquered them or God left their presence. As a parent, repeating yourself gets old fast so I'd say God was hundreds of years more patient than I would ever be 😂😂 Darned if I don't want to send my little darlings off somewhere away from my presence daily. Good thing it's not forever.

[@BrianJohnson-lx3zd]

I'm really interested to know, after 8 months what's your conclusion? (if you've made one, obviously this is a big deal!)

[@Skarlet-ju8sr]

The athiests objection on philosophical grounds such as "The Problem of Evil" and so on are irrelevant. If Christ as presented by the evidence alone by many scholars such as Jim Wallace is accurate, our human OPINIONS on right and wrong are irrelevant. Getting with the program is the only logical recourse.

[@sarahkim2380]

This is an older comment, but I came across it and wanted to answer the question about God regretting! I’m assuming you were discussing Genesis 6:6 when it says God regretted making man. Although the sense we use the word regret in today is in making a mistake, the word used in the Hebrew (going back to the original language) has the root of the word nacham, which ties closely to emotion. That means that the word “regret” would’ve been used more in the sense that God was pained by what mankind did, not that he thought it was a mistake to create mankind!! Hope that helped to answer your question :)

[@chuckw8391]

Loved this!

[@charlottecoetzee5640]

Recently purchased the book "Person of interest" . I'm learning so much. Really glad I heard of J Warner Wallace.

[@corbind.collectibles919]

One of the STRONGEST defenses for the faith. I have studied this heavy and will forever use this to further advance the Kingdom for people that have questions. Always remember my friends, spread the truth IN. LOVE!!! Jesus was all about Love for He is LOVE! He is the truth and power of our present, our past, and our futures.

Glad it was helpful!

[@Truthjustice23]

This is awesome information! we need to hear this at this times where a lot of people is and even "christians" start doubting about tbe bible. Thanks Wallace for your time and work. ❤🙂🙏

[@parabinda]

It's not about New Testament being reliable. It's about if all verses of NT makes sense to be accepted as truth. Jesus dying on cross take your sins away is false as Christians are still doing sins on a regular basis.

[@kallioperobling3359]

@@parabinda your logic is false. Your sins are not taken away as if you never again can sin. The wages of sin, the sin tax if you will, has been paid. You are a sinful creature that cannot face God through your filth. Jesus, being perfect, paid the sin tax by dying in your place. His death takes away your sin. Now your filth is washed away with his blood and your eternal soul can choose to live in God's light instead of the vile depths of the darkness of Godlessness.

[@jeremiahchasteen8937]

​@@parabindajust because you put on the Jersey, doesnt mean you made the team. Most that claim to be Christian, are anything but. The scriptures are very clear. "He became the source of eternal life for all that OBEY him" (Hebrews 5:9)By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments. IF ANYONE SAYS, “I KNOW HIM,” BUT DOES NOT KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS, HE IS A LIAR, AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN HIM. But if anyone keeps His word, the love of God has been truly perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him: WHOEVER CLAIMS TO ABIDE IN HIM MUST WALK AS JESUS WALKED (1John 2:3-6) EVERYONE WHO HAS THIS HOPE IN HIM PURIFIES HIMSELF, just as Christ is pure. EVERYONE WHO PRACTICES SIN PRACTICES LAWLESSNESS AS WELL. Indeed, sin is lawlessness. But you know that Christ appeared to take away sins, and in Him there is no sin. NO ONE WHO REMAINS IN HIM KEEPS ON SINNING. NO ONE WHO CONTINUES TO SIN HAS SEEN HIM OR KNOWN HIM. Little children,LET NO ONE DECEIVE YOU: THE ONE WHO PRACTICES RIGHTEOUSNESS IS RIGHTEOUS, JUST AS CHRIST IS RIGHTEOUS. THE ONE WHO PRACTICES SIN IS OF THE DEVIL, because the devil has been sinning from the very start. This is why the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the works of the devil.ANYONE BORN OF GOD REFUSES TO PRACTICE SIN, because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God. BY THIS THE CHILDREN OF GOD ARE DISTINGUISHED FROM THE CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL: ANYONE WHO DOES NOT PRACTICE RIGHTEOUSNESS IS NOT OF GOD, NOR IS ANYONE WHO DOES NOT LOVE HIS BROTHER.This is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another. (1 John 3:3-10)

[@brandonschmidt930]

Absolutely fascinating... it's great to get a new perspective. Thank you.

[@CindyPurses]

EXCELLENT!!! Thank you so much!!! I am thoroughly enjoying your videos and excited to view more and more. Using your expertise to solve cases in the Bible is SO interesting, fascinating and answers so many questions which in turn strengthens faith for everyone. I've been seeking answers and am so glad I found you. I see your videos go back to 15 years. I have a lot to catch up on and looking forward to every minute of it. I am very grateful for all your hard work in researching and explaining. Amazing and absolutely wonderful. GOD BLESS YOU!!!

Did the podium catch fire at some point? It looks burnt

[@plant3616]

1:08:29 the role of the Church council in compiling already-existing gospels. There’s no reasonable way that they create have created the gospels, and don’t let it stand, un-objected, that they did any such thing. Don’t let lies stand

[@DamianS1893]

Greatly appreciate your ministry...

[@Ewerboweski]

One reason the church does not teach hard hitting facts that can make a true believer is because most people in the church sitting there listening are to lazy, or do not have the IQ to track along with these facts in a short time and cannot handle it. It is pathetic but the churchs I see in alberta canada through the decades try to reach the most people possible. Not teach the truth relentlessly. So most of the followera are nominal who can be shaken away simply and do not know thier own belief. Most Christians I have met in my life here have a general belief, not real faith rooted in turth and facts.

[@friedrichrubinstein]

I dare to say that a common reason for this is that many Christians don't commit to believing the Bible. When you get influenced by "scientists", "scholars" and all kinds of Bible-critics into not taking the Bible seriously anymore then you have no fundation for your faith. If the Bible is not trustworthy then _what is?_ You stagger between opinions instead of truths and got nothing to rely on.

[@dannywilliamson3340]

Too many churches are more interested in entertaining the goats than feeding the sheep.

[@kallioperobling3359]

I don't think you need a special IQ to understand this. Jesus tells us we need to be like little children, not like philosophers, or scholars.

[@Skarlet-ju8sr]

​@@kallioperobling3359Paul insisted that we study up and check them out, for if the Resurrection did not happen out faiths are in vain.

Thanks! Good video. Is there a chance to mirror the videos to Odysee?

Ezekiel 23:20 this is the word of God so make sure to share this with your children

[@John14-6...]

Does a confession from the suspect count as direct or indirect evidence? Also bought your first book which was excellent and plan on eventually purchasing Person of Interest.

[@fridge3489]

Does a crystal-clear video recording of the crime taking place count as eye-witness testimony? If not, is it still direct evidence? Feels like it should be. But he said only eye-witness testimony is direct evidence.

[@Skarlet-ju8sr]

​@fridge3489 crystal clear? Most CCTV footage is blurry or glitchy looking. In this day and age, with deep fakes and voice replication, you must TEST this video footage witness as well. Where did the footage come from? Who acquired it? Who provided it? Any possible motives to discredit the accused? So on. These days a video doesn't cut it alone. That's why you need corroborated data.

[@corbind.collectibles919]

I know this doesn't matter to the subject and perhaps you cannot answer this but.... what on earth happened to that podium!? LOL

Many think they are more reliable than the scriptures. Psalms 111 : 7,8,10.

[@FLDavis]

4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

[@trucyaurelia2410]

[@PaDutchRunner]

Unfortunately it’s a heart thing not a knowledge thing. Bart knows all of this.

[@Skarlet-ju8sr]

​@PaDutchRunner he skews his belief on presuppositions. "Where is the original copy of the NT?" "There are more errors in the manuscript evidence than there are words in the NT!" He is going for kill shots with bad body alignment, so he misses.
