… taking a forensic statement analysis approach toward examining the Gospels.

FORENSIC STATEMENT ANALYSIS

Forensic Statement Analysis (FSA) describes a series of sequential techniques experts use to identify linguistic ‘signals’ separating lies from truthful statements. FSA experts examine the statements of suspects and witnesses to identify indicators revealing subconscious information. FSA is an effective tool when employed by someone who has been trained in the discipline.

FSA is not a science, however, and we must be careful about our conclusions when examining statements. One thing is certain: the more we practice the techniques of FSA, the more reliable our conclusions. As you begin to look at statements more critically, be careful about jumping to a particular decision or inference. Cross-check and test your assertions and build a cumulative case to make sure your conclusions are reasonable.”

(J. Warner Wallace, Forensic Faith, p. 107)

Is it not true that many simply jump to conclusions without taking the time to seriously examine all of the evidence in the scriptures?

Not everyone is a detective. Nor do we have all the time in the world. But some people do. I look up those people on YouTube. XD
