Is the Bible really Inerrant and Infallible?

Well there's that entire copy of a copy of a copy thingy...not to mention all the mucking around with it by various Popes and factions.

The bible is not only accurate, but is the word of God. I rated you a ten for your desire to write on a subject you feel strongly about. I will admit, that I will probably not read any of the following articles concerning this subject, but I wanted to give my input. Each story is truth and a lesson in itself. If one was to read with a desire to see problems then any writing has problems, not just the bible, but every writing, and every scientific experiment. People accept medication that years later have been found to be harmful, but they thought the original thinking because of logical thinking was correct.

As God has told us, to be read the word of God with a child's eyes. That is where you would need to start, and then go from there.

God teaches us not to judge, or hate, and to love and show compassion, where is the controversy in those teachings?

The Bible is accurate and is God breathed. I agree with Randy. I do know that there are a few "printing" errors but they do not change the meaning of God's word.

Simon, the original stone tablets that have the stories and teachings on them are the one and only accurate writing. These were written by man, and were inspired, and directed by God. The NIV, Thompson chain reference, that has gone back to the original scrolls and tablets is the most accurate if you are looking for one to read. They tell you that they went back to the original writings with scholars, and linguists, and if there is a question about an interpretation, then they tell you.

The meaning and the lesson is still there, and again, where is there a controversy in not hating, but loving and cherishing one another, and believing that something bigger and more divine than us created the universe and all of its wonders?

I think it's definately a good source of history.

Everytime I read It.......I get more ...........Can You All Feel Me?

Oh, I quote: "God teaches us not to judge, or hate, and to love and show compassion, where is the controversy in those teachings?"

You read the Bible? It's full of judgement, hate and lack of compassion.

Randy and Simon!! Great comments, I couldn't have said it better. As for the other more negative and suspicious input... I'll just let that go. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I hope -- at least in this group where the article doesn't really fit -- that it doesn't come into a back and forth debate, criticism and anger.

I speak PEACE on this article, In Jesus Name

hmm... i believe with my whole heart that the Bible is the word of God, and that there are no errors in it, because God is perfect, and so are His words therefore. i belive that it is the truth and that the only way to heaven is through it (through Christ), i belive in it so much, that i will not ever deny it or God, even with a gun at my head, or a torture machine in front of me, because i would rather suffer unto the end, then deny my Christ and my King by saying His word is not perfect and irrefutable.
