In our "Truth or Myth" series, we discussed 8 statements that the Bible proves to be Myths, and we would contrast that myth with a true statement from the Bible. This series was first used at Cross Impact Winthrop, and we are thankful that they allowed us to use it here at IUPUI.
To help you grasp what we discussed, here are the 8 Myths and Truths that we discussed.
