How did Judas really die, by hanging or by falling and bursting open? Does the Bible contain contradictions? And what does it really mean to “set your mind on things above”?
In this episode of Ask N.T. Wright Anything, Tom Wright and Mike Bird tackle three challenging questions:
Reconciling Matthew and Acts on the death of JudasWhether “biblical inerrancy” is the best way to speak about Scripture’s authorityHow to read Colossians 3 without falling into a heaven-good, earth-bad mindsetTom explores what biblical authority actually means, why “inerrancy” can sometimes miss the point, and how the New Testament vision is not escape from earth — but heaven and earth coming together in new creation.
Questions:
1 01:34 How did Judas actually die? How do we reconcile Acts and Matthew's accounts of this??
2 09:07 Does the Bible contain errors? How do we tackle the question of Biblical Inerrancy?
3 26:33 Are we too "heavenly minded"? Should we consider earth as "good"?
