Summary
During my Sabbatical, I wanted to post some short podcasts that only reached a limited number of people several years ago. They are short answers to tough apologetics and theological questions. There are 30 in total that we will be releasing every day. I hope you enjoy. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Elisa Childers podcast where we equip Christians to identify the core beliefs of historic Christianity, |
| 0:06.4 | discern its counterfeits and proclaim the gospel with clarity, kindness and truth and we are going to continue to do that even while I'm on sabbatical and not |
| 0:15.1 | recording full-length episodes until after the new year. But as we were going |
| 0:19.6 | through some old content we realized that there were some posts that only went out to a select group of |
| 0:24.2 | listeners and many of you, if you've been following the podcast for the past two or three years, |
| 0:29.5 | have not heard these posts and these are short answers to tough theological and apologetics questions. |
| 0:35.2 | So we're going to be bringing a new one to you every day during sabbatical. |
| 0:38.8 | Here's today's. Many critics claim that the Bible is riddled with errors. They point out differences in the gospel accounts or discrepancies among varying reports of the same historical event. |

| 1:41.3 | or other unexplained phenomena, they don't simply throw up their hands |
| 1:44.9 | in defeat and say, well, I guess it must be a contradiction. |
| 1:48.4 | The same principle applies to biblical research. |
| 1:51.0 | For example, critics used to say that the first five books of the Bible |
| 1:54.8 | couldn't have been written by Moses because in Moses' day, writing hadn't yet been |
| 1:59.2 | invented. But we know now that writing existed for about 2,000 years before Moses' time. |
| 2:05.0 | Number two, you might be presuming the Bible guilty until proven innocent. |
| 2:10.0 | The typical way people approach human communication is that there's no reason to suspect |
