How is the historical truth of the Christian Bible unique? a comparison with the Muslim and Mormon Scriptures

About this Lesson        

This is the second of two videos comparing the Christian Bible with the scriptures of other faiths.

While each of the two videos comparing other scriptures with the Christian Bible is not a comprehensive course on world religions, I trust each presentation is an accurate and respectful representative of that religion. Here is how I will do it:

• First, I give you a brief overview of each of these four religions— Part One: Hinduism, Buddhism, Part Two: Islam, and the Mormon Church.
• Second, we look at how each religion defines salvation and a life pleasing to God.
• Third, we look at what are their sacred writings, including samples of their scriptures that support their beliefs.
• Fourth, what are the historical anchors in their scriptures that support their claims? We will look briefly at geography, archeology, and source criticism, plus the document history of their scriptures.

Last, will then look at how each one views Jesus and the historical basis for that view.

Based on that we will evaluate the historical validity of their religious claims and I trust you will conclude, as I have, that the Christian Bible has far superior claims to objective truth than the scriptures of any other religion.

This lesson is part of a 4‐part  foundational series: How Truth & History confirm that we can trust the Christian Bible.

#1 What is Truth?

#2 How do historians determine Truth?

#3 How is the historical truth of the Christian Bible unique? part one. . . a comparison with the Hindu and Buddhist scriptures

#4 How is the historical truth of the Christian Bible unique? part two. . . a comparison with Muslim and Mormon scriptures

Please plan to listen to or watch all for a full understanding of the topic of why we can trust the Christian Bible. All are part of the yearly subscription package to the lessons.

This is an extremely important foundational series of lessons. Though it takes more than intellectual assent to the truths of the Christian faith to become a believer in Jesus (the demons know the truth of it as the book of James tells us), it is important to trust our eternal destiny to a faith that is based on historical, verifiable evidence and not merely fables and myth.

This series of videos will give you confidence that your faith has a verifiable, historical, and trustworthy foundation.
