Yes, the doctrine of doctrine of Biblical inerrancy refers not to minor errors, but to the lack of contradiction and falsities in The Bible. No doctrines are affected by minor copyist errors.

What does it mean for the Christian's by' the Bible is inspired?

The Christian Church as a whole claims that the Bible is inspired and inerrant. This means that God is the one who moved through the writers to communicate to us the words which God wanted us to hear. This inspiration, however, is not a dictation, but a movement of God's spirit through the writer, utilizing the personality and style of the writer. Inerrancy means that all that is written in the inspired documents is without error. Now, there is a comment worth mentioning here. Inspiration and inerrancy applies to the original writings, not to the copies. In other words, it is the original writings that are without error. The copies, sadly, have copyist errors in them.


Why do you think God would allow a few copyist errors to creep into the Holy Bible?

None of the copyists errors that crept into the Holy Bible change God's message. Still, they let you know that while the Bible is true it is not perfect. God does not want you to worship the Bible. God wants you to worship him. If people thought the Bible was perfect, they might worship the Bible instead of worshipping God.

Is the Holy Bible inerrant?

Some regard the Bible as inerrant - totally without error or contradiction. Others, more practically regard the Bible as infallible - containing possible errors or contradictions on matters of history and the natural world, but not on matters of faith. 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 this 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."


How much of the Bible was inspired by God?

For the Bible to be inspired by God, it ought to be inerrant and without contradictions since God can surely not make any errors. Yet throughout the Bible and in almost every book, there are clear and identifiable errors, whether historical or scientific. There are numerous doublets and biblical contradictions that point to multiple authors writing according to the context and needs of their own times, and not writing perfect copies of God's word. None of the Bible was inspired by God.

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 is the difference between infallible and inerrant?

"Infallible" means incapable of making mistakes or being wrong, while "inerrant" means free from errors or mistakes. In other words, something that is infallible cannot make mistakes, while something that is inerrant does not contain mistakes.
