Can I Trust the Bible? | Chris "Woz" Woznicki

Rocky Peak Young Adults

Can we really trust the Bible? That’s the question we’re diving into this week with seminary professor Chris Woznicki. Join us as we explore how trust is built, what’s at stake, and why Scripture matters for your faith, your doubts, and your future. We’ll see how the Bible stacks up against objections to its reliability.

Message Notes:

2 Peter 2:20-21

For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. – 2 Peter 1:16

Apologetics = The task of presenting a well-reasoned intellectual defense of the truth of Christianity.

For the Non-Christian: Apologetics breaks down walls to faith.

For the Christian: Apologetics serves evangelism, build’s confidence, and leads to worship.

Trusting The God Who Speaks - Testimony

Properly Basic Belief: A belief that you are allowed to have without needing proof for it; it is something you can reasonably believe from the start.

Defeater: Something that gives you a good reason to stop believing something you thought was true.

“Reel” Objections to the Bible

1) “The Bible we have today is copies of copies that have been corrupted in the ‘oldest game of telephone.’”

2) “The Gospels were written too long after Jesus’s life to be trusted.”

• Jesus (AD30) --> Mark (AD42) --> Paul (AD50) --> Matthew & Luke (AD59) --> John (AD70)

3) “The Bible isn’t history—it’s made-up stories used to push forward the church’s agenda.”
