Inerrancy of the Bible

2 Tim 3:16-17

We must take note:

1. Bible is the revelation from God.

2. Inerrancy is only applied to the original text or the autograph.

For instance, the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy says, We affirm that inspiration, strictly speaking, applies only to the autographic text of Scripture

3. If any man founds errors in the Bible, do not think that it is because the original writers had done mistakes, no. They never done any mistake !

4. We must remember this well, if we find any problem, any mistake, any obvious error in the Bible, it is because we have these possiblilities:

a. the present manuscripts we have in our collection are not perfect or accurate.

b. the present Hebrew and Greek Bible and their translations possibly have imperfections.

c. we do not fully or accurately understand or expound the content of the Bible.
