0:00.0	If Jesus came in this room tonight, and we said, Jesus, we've been exposed to all kinds of critical
0:06.0	theories about the origins and development and trustworthiness of Scripture. We've been in endless
0:10.8	disputes about infallibility and errancy and inspiration and all that sort of thing.
0:15.2	Would you tell us, please, is this Bible, the Word of God?
0:24.2	Will that? this Bible, the Word of God. Well, that would put an end to the argument, wouldn't it?
0:27.4	If we heard from Jesus himself, his thoughts on Scripture.
0:31.0	Well, the fact is, Jesus has already told us exactly what he thinks of Scripture,
