Yes, it was, wasn't it. I record every one of his sermons.

RE: Is the Bible reliable?
Thanks for sharing.
Regarding his first point, Manuscript Evidence... there's a New Testament Critic named Dr. Daniel Wallace with Dallas Theological Seminary. He's the founder of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM).
CSNTM travels the globe and makes digital copies of actual NT manuscripts. You can view their library online.
Dr. Wallace goes into detail regarding the manuscript evidence of the NT.

When you don't mistranslate it and completely misunderstand all of the references in linguistic and historical context it is.
The problem isn't the book per se, but what successive iterations of the Church have done to the Bible in the thousands of years since its writing.
It WAS reliable, but then humanity made it unreliable and turned it into a political weapon instead of a spiritual guide.
