If the Bible is inerrant then why are there many historical and archaeological errors?
A:Yes, there are numerous historical and archaeological errors in the Bible. We therefore have to decide whether to continue to believe it is inerrant and, if so, what we mean by this. Some would say the Bible is inerrant on matters of faith, but not necessarily on history. Others would say if we find apparent errors in the Bile, then we have misunderstood the text, possibly for many centuries, and must reinterpret it. Of course, others would say that the Bible is the truly inerrant word of God and can not contain errors, and that if we read the Bible with total faith then those errors will just disappear.

What do you mean when you say the Bible is infallible and inerrant?
Although normally considered a synonym for inerrant, some say that calling the Bible infallible means that it can never mislead or deceive, but that this does not necessarily mean that it is inerrant - without error. This should mean that misunderstandings or contradictions should never be found in the Bible and that, for example, Matthew's use of the Book of Isaiah to show that the virgin birth was prophesied is not misleading.Calling the Bible inerrant means that the Bible contains no error of fact or transcription. This means that if any historical error or other error of fact is found in the Bible, then the entire belief in its inerrancy must be called into question. If the belief in the Bible's inerrancy is applied to an English translation of the Bible, this applies even to errors of translation.Some say that the above rule for inerrancy is too broad and that the bible contains exactly what God intends to convey, but the absence of error does not necessarily apply to the incidental, scientific, geographical, or historical statements in Scripture.Professor Alley of the University of Richmond is quoted as saying, "While some persons may continue to hold that the historic Christian belief in biblical infallibility and inerrancy is the only valid starting point and framework for a theology of revelation, such contentions should be heard with a smile and incorporated into the bylaws of the Flat Earth Society."

If the Old Testament is supposed to be at least partly fiction and meanings could have been lost in translations why would you treat the New Testament as the truth?
There are many shades of opinion as to the literal truth of both the Old Testament and the New Testament, and not all Christians consider either of them to be strictly true. Those who hold that the New Testament is both reliable and inerrant would also say that the Old Testament is equally so. Each individual has to make his or her own judgement as the whether the Bilbe is both reliable and inerrant, partly so, or largely a book of fiction with sufficient factual content to appear real. You decide.
