Is the Bible Inerrant?
1) Direct Answer
Yes. The Bible is inerrant—the perfect, God‑breathed Word, the final Absolute for faith and life. Any “errors” people point to come from translation issues, copyist slips, or human misunderstanding, not from the Word God inspired.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God” (2 Timothy 3:16).
- “Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” (2 Peter 1:21).
- Jesus said, “The scripture cannot be broken” (John 10:35).
- “Thy word is truth” (John 17:17).
- “Every word of God is pure… add thou not unto his words” (Proverbs 30:5–6).
- “For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven” (Psalm 119:89; see also 119:160).
- “God… cannot lie” (Titus 1:2; Hebrews 6:18).
If God cannot lie, and He breathed the Scriptures, then the Scriptures cannot lie.
3) Simple Clarifying Logic
- One Author stands behind the many writers—the Holy Spirit. Therefore the message is perfect from Genesis to Revelation.
- Differences in accounts are like two witnesses viewing the same event from different angles; they harmonize when rightly divided.
- Figures of speech, poetry, and prophecy are true in the sense God intended them—what the Bible affirms, it affirms truly.
- Printing mistakes, marginal notes, or translation variances are human; the God‑breathed Word itself is without error. The Spirit guides believers into all truth, opening the harmony of Scripture.
4) Reinforcing Statement
Now notice… if you make yourself the judge of the Word, what is your absolute? But if you take God at His Word, the foundation is sure. The Scripture cannot be broken. Believe every word, add nothing, take nothing away, and let the Bible be your final authority.

...ect. "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God ... and the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us."---the Word itself. So therefore, the Bible is the Word of God. It is God Himself placed upon paper. For no man is any better than his word. If I can't take a man's word, I just can't have any dealings with him. He must be honest, he must be truthful, and especially as he professes to be a Christian.

...idence in what you say, you're no good. But you're just as good as your word is. And God is just as good as His Word is. And I, as a Christian believer, I believe that this Bible is inspired, and It is written by the Holy Spirit and It is the infallible Word of God. And God is under obligation to His Word, to the believer that will accept His Word. And any Word is a seed. If you accept it in your heart, by faith, and believe it and confess it, God will bring it to pass.

How that gift... Do you see it? There it is. The very God that wrote the Word is in the man, saying, "That's the truth. I don't care what anybody says. That's the truth." There it is. God, in the man, recognizes His own Word. Hallelujah! That settles it. God in here. "Believe all things. Hope all things. Endure all things." Is that right? All the Scripture is inspiration of God. God wrote it. When God comes in here, God recognizes His own Word, says, "Sure, that's the truth." Now, you go to doctoring it out somewhe...

I believe in the Bible being the full revelation of Jesus Christ. Now I do believe that God can do things that's not written in the Bible, because He's God. But as long as we can find it in the Bible as a promise, then we know it's true because the Word is true always. And so we believe Him to keep His promise. I believe that He's almighty. I believe He's infinite. Being infinite He knowed all things. He knows all things. A million years before there was a world He knew we'd sit right here tonight. If it isn't, He...

And I believe every word of it. It's perfectly the truth of God, and cannot be tampered with. And we'll be judged by this book at the end of life's journey. Yes, sir. I don't believe in intellectual speeches; I believe in the Word itself. And then stay with that promise until it's made manifest, and fulfilled. Then you've got it. But "Man...
