Are the Gospel accounts in the Bible trustworthy? Why were some Gospel accounts left out of the Bible? Learn from a scholar how to be certain, beyond a reasonable doubt, if what the Bible says about Jesus holds up to scrutiny or not? The week Jonathan and Pastor Vinnie are joined by Pastor Daniel Royo who is finishing up his Ph.D. in Bible studies. Daniel fields questions from Jon and Vinnie on the hard issues about the Gospel accounts of Jesus in the Bible. In this episode, we hold no punches and explore the question of why some “Gospels” were left out of the Bible and If the text of the Gospels has been changed or tampered with. We look at what modern non-believing scholars think about the New Testament, the Gospels, and their history. We explore where the Gospels and the whole New Testament come from and how we got our copies. And we ask hard questions about why different manuscripts vary.
