How a Skeptic Can Believe the Bible Is the Ultimate Truth
This week, we kick off a three-part series about the Bible and our claim that it is not only our ultimate authority, but the foundation of all truth.
In part 01, we ask, what is the connection between skepticism and belief? How can we know what is true and what is false? We explore how Christianity, once intellectually respected and revered, has become a watered-down shadow of itself, leading to confusion and a loss of truth. We also discuss the contradictions of moral relativism and the dangers of building belief systems on unstable foundations.
