The inerrant inspiration applies only to the original writing of the Biblical books. Thus, whenever one finds in Scripture something that appears to be in error, rather than assuming that the writer made a mistake, one should remember that present day translations may not be totally accurate or one s understanding or interpretation of the Biblical text may be inadequate or incorrect. The measure of a man is his word.
Scripture is the very life and Word of God.
Down to the very words of the original manuscripts, the Bible is without error, absolutely true, trustworthy, and infallible. This is true not only when it speaks of salvation and morality, but it is also without error on all subjects about which it speaks, including history and the cosmos. Jesus Christ himself taught that Scripture is God s inspired Word. To deny the full inspiration of holy Scripture, therefore, is to set aside the fundamental witness of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit and the apostles. Also to limit or disregard it inerrancy is to impair its divine authority.
