DyerConversations

Welcome to DyerConversations! My father once told me, ”Be a life-long learner.” My name is Billy Dyer and I want you to take that journey with me. On my channel you will experience the journey of being a life-long learner with me by acquiring the skills to think more critically, investigate truth claims, challenge your own biases, and navigate through all the false information out there. That means we need to be able to abandon long held ideas if the evidence points to a better position. In today’s culture, speaking the truth is risky business. People like to hear what already affirms their current beliefs, not necessarily what is true. Therefore, join me in the search for truth so we can draw conclusion that are Beyond A Reasonable Doubt!! Are you disciplined enough to challenge your thinking? Hit that SUBSCRIBE button to stay up to date on all the latest DyerConversations.

Should You Believe Genesis?

How do we know we can trust the book of Genesis is reliable? The Bible claims Moses wrote it, but is that true? In this episode I will evaluate two points people bring up to say we shouldn't believe Moses wrote Genesis. One of those points is that Genesis tells the same stories multiple times and therefore, there must be multiple authors behind Genesis and not just Moses. Upon examination we realize these points are baseless and we can absolutely trust that Moses wrote Genesis.

Why God Has Multiple Names

Critical Scholars deny Moses wrote the Pentateuch based on Five Pillars. In this episode we will examine Pillar 1; The Use of Different Names for God. These scholars argue that the display of God being referred to by different names in the Pentateuch is evidence of multiple sources behind the text. But this theory fails when we actually apply it to the text of Scripture. Find out how by watching this episode.

Did the Old Testament Change?

Who Wrote the First 5 Books of the Old Testament?

Most Bible scholars deny Moses wrote the first five books of the Old Testament. What are their reasons for this? In this episode I will explain how their philosophical approach to the Bible automatically rules out the possibility for them to conclude Mosaic authorship.
