Alleged Discrepancies (Part 2)

Authority of ScripturesSteve Gregg
In this text, Steve Gregg explains that alleged discrepancies in the Bible often arise from ambiguous wording and different contexts. He notes that understanding the cultural and historical context of the time can help in understanding possible discrepancies or differences in emphasis. Critically, he emphasizes that different accounts of events can give different details, but that does not necessarily mean they contradict each other. Applying common sense and understanding can generally remove difficulties and show that the Bible does not contradict itself.
