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.

Tuesday Feb 09, 2021
Have you ever wondered if you can trust the reliability of the Bible? How do we really know who wrote it and has it been changed or corrupted? In this episode I'm going to give you one way to know the Bible is reliable. We are going to take a look at how investigating language, grammar, and styles of writing can give us confidence that the Law of Moses was actually written by Moses. Further, we will take a look at the style of language used in the Law of Moses as it describes the "Making of a Covenant" to show why we should expect different styles of language to be used by one author.
