We don\u2019t rely on the assumption of faith, but only on objective evidence, which even the critics themselves, or at least the majority of them, can\u2019t deny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani: Now that I think about it, I\u2019ve heard one of these critics talk about the New Testament, saying it\u2019s full of mistakes and contradictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ravioli: The author also addresses this point, emphasizing that the media gives much more weight to the critics than to others, even though they are in the minority. In his book, the author doesn\u2019t hide his conservative stance and explains that there are ways to show that these supposed contradictions are only &#8220;apparent&#8221; and can be explained. However, he warns us that this is not the topic covered in the book. In reality, the presence of errors and contradictions does not affect the historical certainty of the five facts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani: I understand. So, the discussion is about the historical certainty of the five points, not whether the Bible has errors or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ravioli: Exactly. Anyone who wants to delve into the historical reliability of the Bible has books and books to explore, but in the case of the minimal facts, we don\u2019t care about that at all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Papaia: From what I know, everyone says the Bible is full of contradictions, but personally, I\u2019ve never read it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Igor: Certainly, no one expected anything different from you, Papaia!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/savedblog.com\/?p=2368\">Previous<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/savedblog.com\/?p=2374\">Next<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three renowned scientists\u2014Papaia, Banani, Ravioli\u2014and their assistant Igor work at the NASAL observatory.Ravioli accidentally bought a book, which turns out to be very interesting.They are discussing Ravioli\u2019s book.
