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.

The infallible Word of God

...t seed come that could stand in the middle and hold sinner on one end and God on the other and bridge the way. Every word that He spoke, every word that was placed into the Bible was time-tested by the Holy Ghost. Therefore I believe every timber. Amen. Every precept of God is right. Everything that's written in this Bible, I'd be willing to lay my life down for it. I may not have faith enough to make every promise come true, but I'll never stand in somebody else's way who does have faith to do it. If I can't walk...

Salvation cannot be based upon any church, or any creed, nothing but the Word of God, for it's God's Word. God's Word is so perfect that not one iota of it will ever fail. All the heavens will fail; the earth will fail. John said on the island of Patmos, "I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away." But God's Word went right on, just the same. I want you to notice, in technique now, how infallible the Word of God is. When the two thieves and Jesus was dying on the c...

...thought. And the thought was created by God Himself. And every time God makes a thought, it's a creation, and when He speaks it, it becomes a reality. So every word of this Bible is God's spoken creative thought. And every time it's taken into the right ground, it'll be made manifest. Amen. Then all the spooks drop away, every shadow moves. And we stand anchored, nothing can shake you then, see. All the superstitions and ups-and-downs is passed away then; we're right on the Word. God can't do nothing but honor that...

"God in sundry times and divers manners spake to the fathers through the prophets." Now, II Timothy 3:16. Let's see what it says in 3:16 All Scripture [Yeah!] is given by inspiration of [Prophets? No! Inspiration of what?] God, and is profitable for doctrine, and reproof, and correction, and instruction in righteousness. That the man of God may stand perfect, thoroughly furnished in all good works. All right then, all Scripture is wrote by inspiration. Jesus here on the earth said that heavens and earth would pass...

...Urim Thummim. Woe unto him that'll add or take away anything from this book. This is God's eternal truth and in the day where there is people saying, "Oh, we don't need the Bible. It's been translated fifteen times, or more; how do we know its right?" Till heavens and earth pass away, God's Word will never pass away. Every doctrine and everything else of the Bible, that we have in the church, must be based upon the Word of God---must come from the Word. Not just one place; but, from Genesis to Revelation it must sa...
