Everyone, myself included, is biased. Yes. It’s appalling to me, and not only me, how many people don’t study the Bible. Dusty Bibles are common. Yes, but they must hear and believe the gospel that Jesus and the Apostles preached in order to be saved. What I believe is that the intelligent...

So it is your testimony that you have no idea who God’s children are?

Yes. That is what happened. The Muslim in the incident wasn’t a student. If the student who was speaking with the Muslim, attempting to evangelize him, had any conversation with the Muslim about the reliability of the Quran, he didn’t mention it to me. The student was a teenager. The way...

No. I think you’re misunderstanding what Jesus is saying. They were right to think that eternal life is found in studying scripture because he is the life and they testify about him. Scripture is reliable. How helpful would it be to someone who is struggling over the issue of the reliability of...
