Proof The Bible Is True

Dr. Phil Fernandes: Answering Recent Attacks on the Jesus of the Bible In an age of uncertainty, can we still have confidence in the Jesus found in the Bible? Can we trust the New Testament text we have today? How do we know that Jesus of Nazareth was not just another myth or legend? Why aren’t the Gnostic writings in the New Testament? Why were they left out of the New Testament canon? Dr. Fernandes will respond to these recent arguments against the true Jesus of the Bible. He will argue that, contrary to the writings of Bart Ehrman and the wild speculation of critical New Testament scholars, we can trust the New Testament text and its portrait of Jesus. Strong evidence will also be provided that Jesus actually existed—He is not a mere legend that the early church borrowed from pagan myths. Finally, it will be argued that the early church was right to reject adding the Gnostic writings to the New Testament canon.
