Authority of ScripturesSteve Gregg
In "Alleged Discrepancies (Part 1)," Steve Gregg discusses the common charge that the Bible contains inaccuracies and contradictions. He argues that while there may be perceived discrepancies, the Bible has been historically accurate and can be properly understood through careful interpretation. Gregg emphasizes the importance of understanding context, genre, figures of speech, and principles of hermeneutics in preventing misunderstandings and the appearance of contradictions in the Bible. He also provides examples of alleged discrepancies, and suggests that through responsible interpretation, all contradictions can be resolved.
