Can You Trust the Bible?
A Scripture-first hub for seekers and believers: truth, doubt, relevance, and how to read God's Word without arrogance or fear—drawing on Robert J. Cottle's apologetics teaching.
The short answer
The Bible claims to be God-breathed (2 Timothy 3:16) and living and active (Hebrews 4:12). It is not a fairy tale for entertainment; it is divine speech that judges and saves. Ownership without reading is hollow; honest examination and humble faith belong together.
