Is the New Testament truly inspired Scripture, or should some of its books be questioned? This episode of Truth Unveiled examines internal biblical evidence showing that Jesus commissioned the apostles, the Holy Spirit guided the early Church, and apostolic writings carried divine authority. It also considers Peter’s description of Paul’s epistles as Scripture and explains how the New Testament reveals the fulfillment of the promised New Covenant. Discover why apparent differences among the Gospel accounts need not undermine their historical reliability.
Government disclosures and military testimony have renewed public interest in UFOs—now commonly called unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAPs. Jeff Reed and Mike James examine the available evidence, reported encounters, possible natural explanations, and the provocative possibility that some experiences could involve spiritual deception. Most importantly, they consider what Scripture clearly reveals about nonhuman intelligence, fallen spirits, and the need to test every extraordinary claim against the Word of God.
The Book of Giants is an ancient work connected to the Book of Enoch that tells of fallen angels, violent giants, prophetic dreams, and Noah’s Flood. Although fragments were discovered among the Dead Sea Scrolls, its age does not make it inspired Scripture. Mike James, Jeff Reed, and Olivia Doyle compare its teachings about the Watchers, demons, immortal souls, and the Flood with the biblical record. This episode demonstrates why every ancient claim must be tested by the Word of God.

The Church of God International (CGI) traces its origins to the Church that Jesus founded in the early first century. Membership in the CGI consists of "called out ones" from around the world practicing Christianity as initiated by Jesus and furthered by the early apostles. The church begun by Jesus, the very one He promised would survive through the centuries, is alive and well. Today, disciples live the faith "once delivered to the saints" in this twenty-first century (Jude 3). They obey the same message taught by Jesus Christ, and they proclaim the same gospel taken to the world by the disciples. Members value the witness and teachings of Jesus Christ as the church's work.
The CGI home office is in Tyler, Texas. Incorporated in 1978, CGI has ministers and congregations scattered throughout the United States and Canada . We also have churches in Kenya, Jamaica, the Philippines, Australia, the United Kingdom and a growing number of countries around the world.
The CGI shares many foundational beliefs with other Sabbath-keeping Churches of God, while holding several important doctrinal and organizational distinctions. These include our understanding of the timing of the Passover and Exodus, our rejection of the church-era theory, date-setting, and “headline theology,” and our commitment to accountable servant leadership rather than authoritarian, top-down government.

I recently read something pertaining to Hebrews 4:2 that suggests the "gospel" mentioned here pertains to the "gospel" about salvation. In other words, Moses and the nation of Israel in the Old Testament received the same message about salvation that the New Testament Church had preached to them. Is this true?
Here is the scripture in question:
For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. (KJV)
