In our last podcast we talked about how history helps us determine the truth of Biblical documents. And if that\u2019s so doesn\u2019t history do the same for all religions?
\n\u2022 Why do Christians think their sacred books are any different than the sacred scripture of other religion?
\n\u2022 Aren\u2019t they all the same anyway, slightly different messages, but all leading to the same God?
\n\u2022 Hi, I\u2019m Yvon Prehn and welcome to Bible 805! This is part of our series on Truth & History
\n\u2022 Today we\u2019re going to talk about\u2026..The Historical Uniqueness
\n of the Christian Bible
\u2022 The questions I asked in the intro are incredibly important because as we showed last time (and please take time to listen to that podcast if you haven\u2019t already) history provides an anchor to tie what we believed to what is true in what religious texts say with actual events in the world outside the religious texts.
\n\u2022 I called them historical anchors.
\n\u2022 If the anchors exist, it may not be final proof, but it is a good foundation for the validity of faith.
\n\u2022 In this podcast, which is significantly longer than the ones we\u2019ve done so far, we are going to look at these major religions: Hinduism, Buddhism, Mormonism, Islam, and Christianity.
\n\u2022 For each one, we will look at a brief overview of the religion\u2014With an focus on their plan of SALVATION\u2014the \u201cwhat\u2019s in it for me\u201d of the religion, how to find meaning in this life, life after death.
\n\u2022 The SCRIPTURES upon which the religion and these beliefs are based, including the history of their sacred documents and a brief analysis of the historical anchors they provide.
\n\u2022 Finally and perhaps the most important of all: each religion\u2019s SAVIOR\u2014do they have one? And also their VIEW OF JESUS. All religions agree he lived, but have very different accounts of who he was and what he did, which account is accurate based on what history tells us outside the sacred documents.
\n\u2022 From this overview, I trust you\u2019ll see the Historical Uniqueness of the Christian Bible and though trust in that is not all that is needed for a saving faith in Jesus, I hope it at least helps you understand that all religions are not alike and encourages you to explore them further because your life now and eternal destiny depend on your decisions.
