Jay and Coalt tackle paragraphs 8-10 in the first chapter of the London Baptist Confession of Faith (https://www.the1689confession.com/). In this Episode:
Should we all learn Greek and Hebrew to get the most out of Scripture?
What about the original writings of Scripture -- do we have them?
How can we trust the Bible?
Do we see the providence of God in the preservation of Scripture?
If there are people that do not have the Scriptures in their language than Bible translation is missional not only academic.
What about Translations and paraphrases of the Bible?
What about places in the Bible that are more difficult to understand? Scripture interprets Scripture.
A call for Christian discernment!
