Burk Parsons: Can I Trust the Bible?

What does the Bible have to do with our lives today? Skeptics are shocked to hear that people in the twenty-first century still believe this ancient book and take it seriously. But the Bible is far more than an old book written by men long ago. In this session, Dr. Burk Parsons addresses the trustworthiness of Scripture, its authority as our guide for life, and how we can defend the Bible as the Word of God.
Dr. Burk Parsons acknowledges, with great appreciation, that several aspects of this message are based on Why You Can Believe the Bible by Dr. Voddie Baucham ( • Why you can believe th... ), Why We Believe - The Bible is God’s Word by Pastor Jeff Durbin ( • Why We Believe - The B... ), Can I Trust the Bible? by Dr. Robert Plummer ( • Can I trust the Bible? ), as well as the work of Dr. John D Currid, Dr. Michael J. Kruger, Dr. R.C. Sproul, Dr. Daniel B. Wallace, J. Warner Wallace, and Dr. Thomas Woodward.

I love the Bible Brother. My father pointed it to me since I was a child because Missionares from USA brought it to Brasil many year ago. I was blessed joining your study. I Usely hear Ligonier Studies. Praise the lord.God bless You. (From Brazil)

Another excellent topic and presented so well. Thank you, Blessings

[@bobbymccoy3542]

Thank you Ligionier for a great refresh and reminder.

[@missapk]

This is a critical topic in our times, because edifying & evangelism are all the more crucial as the Church Age draws nearer/near it's close. TY.

[@gideonlofipo9811]

My ears loving this from Australia agree agree agree

[@surfboy344]

Voddie Baucham has some excellent videos on apologetics as well.

[@wanda520]

Did he give Voddie credit for this message?

Thank you for being a leader & shepherd, for standing up for us in a time, I feel some pastors are dumbing down the Lord’s word, trying to pull cards out from the truth it stands for. We trust the Bible By Faith based on the acceptance he gives us. He is standing by. From those who love him, who seek him, and want his will for our lives this message is the meat that needs to be preached by all pastors right now. Our country needs it! The world needs it.
Thank you Ligonier for another solid message giving the hope we need. Faith alone.

Good job

I love the Bible because the truth is found there!!!

Bible is hoax

[@grandmarnier3746]

Wouldn't the dead sea scrolls be considered originals? Or no?

[@inatorquoisemood93]

Great presentation. How can you compare the manuscript copies of the new testament if there is no original manuscripts left to compare them to?

[@tjmcbryan]

from the sheer amount of manuscript copies that exist that cross reference and agree, and from the letters of the early church that quote and continue to back up those to such a large degree. not just 100's of references that agree and cross reference, but 1000's

[@southerngal9374]

Nope, there aren't enough pastors talking about sin, pointing fingers, as you call it. There were more rears in pews when the Bible, fire and brimstone, was preached.

[@Randompancakes12345]

Brilliant

[@MasterKeyMagic]

How did Saul die?

[@yahanan5766]

could've just showed us vonnie bauchams Video

[@andrewlawrencei3239]

The Bible the only book I can trust, because the Bible is the word of God.And the words of God are true.

[@frankleek]

Mind creates god

[@wanda520]

Voddie Baucham should have been sited because some of this is from him.

[@andrewlawrencei3239]

Yes because the Bible is the word of God .

[@scripturereading9039]

The title of this video is not the question to ask, the question to ask is...should I trust "man" in his word in speaking about the bible, and the answer is ....NO! You can trust in the words in the bible!
Romans 3:4 Let God be true and every man a liar

[@kodysmith3717]

That was a waste of time dragged out a 8 minutes video. Regardless God Bless but don’t drag out your videos.. Was boring waste of time. Check out David Wilkerson.

[@larryellison1663]

I don't understand your criticism.

[@Brlowvgsnhdhhtdvjg]

I don't think it was a waste of time because I learned a lot from it

[@georgejaquith4732]

To the contrary, after four slow minutes of rapport building, he cut to the chase with a great intensity and compelling questions. But I agree there are some spiritual types who waste one's time.

[@florida8953]

Comment makes zero sense.

[@berglen100]

Here to wake you up. Imagination being God in man is hard to grasp when the natural mind thinks God is outside. The OT is Divine Allegory not secular history. No ones lost and Jesus was allegory hinting skull not wood one. John Baptist was allegory that taught great Men looking outside are blind, Luke 17:a hint! 20And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
Your good but don't know your Jesus.

[@florida8953]

Literally no historian ever, secular or Christian, agrees with what you’re saying. Your comment is ridiculous.
