When asked where “the word of God” can be found, the most popular answer is “the Bible.” Many believe the Bible to be the inerrant and infallible word of God, but is this belief the truth? Is the Bible actually the inerrant and infallible word of God? First, let us define a few important words. The first word “inerrant,” simply means “free from errors or untruths.” The next word “infallible,” means “incapable of making mistakes or being wrong” or simply “incapable of error.” Another definition says that “infallible” also means “absolutely trustworthy or sure.” When combined, we see why the Bible is said to be “absolutely trustworthy or sure” because of its association with the word of God. This has led many to consider the Bible of being “incapable of error, of making mistakes, or being wrong.” But does all of this mean that the entire Bible is true? That is a question that has been pondered throughout the ages.
