Lots of folks in the church, in an effort to appease the world, have capitulated to the theories and “evidence” that the bible is not factually correct.
They think this makes the message more “palatable” when in reality all it does is water down the truth of the bible in ALL areas. The target areas, of course, are the biblical rules of morality, but if you can “disprove” the historical aspects, you undermine the absoluteness of God’s laws as stated in His Word.
