How do we know we can actually trust the accuracy of the Bible? Is the Bible an ancient document that has been tampered with? Has it been edited many times over the centuries and now is filled with errors? How can we know what the Bible really said when the originals no longer exist?

According to a nation-wide study released by the American Bible Society (2014), almost half of all Americans do not trust the accuracy of the Bible. So, how can you know that you can trust the Bible? and What do you say to those who question its reliability?

“The Bible can be trusted,” says author Dr. Timothy Paul Jones. The good news is that the Bible is reliable, even though it was hand copied and there are variations between texts. Teach your class with this ready-to-use PowerPoint presentation that explains the variations and why they don’t affect the trustworthiness of the Scriptures.

This PowerPoint gives answers to refute the following claims:

• The Gospels were written long after Jesus lived by people who weren’t eyewitnesses.
• The stories about Jesus’ life and death were not handed down reliably and not recorded accurately.
• The Bible is full of textual errors, as proven by the Dead Sea Scrolls
• The New Testament wasn’t finalized until hundreds of years after Jesus and his disciples, so there could have been many other “Gospels” accepted and later rejected—in addition to the four Gospels found in the Bible today.
• The originals of the Bible are lost; therefore, we have no way of knowing what it actually said.
• The Bible was edited by people who had an “agenda” and changed many teachings.
