Understanding Faith: A Comprehensive Q&A with Abdu Murray

Abdu Murray’s conversation offers an informed defense of the Christian faith, and thoughtful answers to complex questions, inviting us to explore the intersection of faith and reason with an open heart and mind.

Tune into this comprehensive conversation about the Bible and Christianity, where we talked about:

✦ The Historical and Archaeological Reliability of the Bible:
We delve into the evidence supporting the Bible’s authenticity, discussing archaeological findings that corroborate biblical narratives and the preservation of biblical texts over centuries.
✦ Addressing Common Misconceptions:
From the Council of Nicaea’s role in forming the Bible to the Bible’s stance on slavery and racism, Abdu clarifies widespread misunderstandings, showcasing the Bible’s consistent message of love, equality, and redemption.
✦ The Exclusivity of Salvation through Christ:
Tackling one of the most controversial aspects of Christianity, Murray explains why Jesus is considered the singular path to salvation and how this belief is not about exclusion but about the profound love of God for humanity.
✦ Creation vs. Evolution:
Abdu provides a nuanced perspective on the creation-evolution debate, emphasizing that faith and science, when properly understood, are not in conflict but can offer complementary insights into the nature of existence.

We dug into top questions on Christianity and the Bible with Abdu, including:

How reliable is the Bible?
Is there any historical or archaeological evidence that contradicts the Bible?
What really happened with Constantine? Did he influence the content of the Bible?
Why did Constantine become a Christian? Was it for power, influence, or money?
What explains the difference between the Protestant Bible and the Catholic Bible? Did Constantine add books? Did Martin Luther remove books?
Is the Bible racist? Does it promote slavery? Why doesn’t it explicitly condemn it?
Moses grew up in Egypt and wrote the Ten Commandments. Egypt had something called the Laws of Ma’at which came before the Ten Commandments. Did Moses plagiarize these laws?
Are there multiple roads to heaven? Is the God of the Bible the only God?
Will non-Christians all go to hell? What about people who’ve never heard of Jesus?
Creation in the Bible account versus evolution: How do you reconcile the two?
