New Testament Issues That Can Challenge Faith

Описание: Pew Research just released a poll showing the percentage of Christians in the U.S. has dropped by 16% in just the last decade. What is going on? Some of it may relate to the huge push many critics are making to discredit the New Testament by focusing on issues such as no original manuscripts exist or variants in the manuscripts we do have. While this is an ‘answering critics’ video, because of the Latter-day Saint perspective, we have a unique view of this situation, and have a lot to offer the world of Christians that may be weakened in their faith by these arguments, and so the video can also be viewed at times as an ‘evidences’ video as well. Also addressed and answered are a number of verses in the New Testament that are used to attack Latter-day Saints.
