Ok, so the bible is inerrant, though I am not agreeing or disagreeing. The problem comes in when it comes to interpretation of what the scriptures mean, as every church and preacher teaches so many different and contrasting doctrines from one another based upon their own interpretation of the scriptures. The fact is that the scriptures are authoritative, but only if you understand what they say from the original intent. Anything else is corruption. Therefore almost all preachers and churches teach falsehoods because they do not interpret the scriptures properly. Thus, when they say the scriptures are inerrant, they are giving themselves credibility where credibility is not deserved.

At 5:40-6:00 of this video, this man who claims that the bible is inerrant then goes on to say, "where Paul says inspired by God, it should read, expired by God." In this, he changes what the scripture says to meet what he wants it to say. Doesn't he contradict his own doctrine by changing what it says?

@@tipsy09 I will try. Inerrancy by virtue of potentially inherent dogmatic implications of the term (addressed more fully by Sproul) developed a negative connotation around the 18th or 19th century (again, see video, I forget when). This had a profound affect on Western culture, leading MANY to distrust the Bible as the WHOLLY TRUE AND RELIABLE WORD OF GOD HIMSELF. The twist is, ironically, people were OK with the term 'infallable' in spite of their rejection of 'inerrant'. What Sproul does here, admirably, is explain that 'infallable' is actually a more dogmatic term than inerrant, so that those who accepted the former term at the expense of the latter were demonstrating themselves to be dimwitted. But in the end analysis, since everyone (or most) agree that the Bible is the infallable Word of God, society and culture can thus rest easy that ABSOLUTE TRUTH endures via Sola Scriptura.

RC Sproul was an outstanding lecturer, this is all very interesting, but I hoped he would say something about how inspiration works. Because if God does not dictate, how are you sure that what the authors of the Biblical books wrote are God's word? When the books of the Old Testament were written, there was no Bible yet, when Paul wrote his letters, there was no New Testament yet. How do you determine that these writings - and only these writings - are inspired and inerrant, when different churches have different canon? Then what about the clear contradictions between books of the Bible? E.g. the birth narratives in Matthew and Luke. Was Jesus born when Herod still lived, or later, when Cyrinus was governor of Syria? Were Joseph and Mary living in Bethlehem, and fled to Egypt before settling in Narareth as Matthew relates, or were they living in Nazareth who only visited Bethlehem because of a census, and after presenting Jesus in the temple returned to Nazareth? Was Jesus crucified on Easter day, as Mark says, or the day before Easter as John says. How do you reconcile these contradictions with the concept of inspiration and inerrancy? This lecture does not answer these questions.

In am here 2024 because a close relative of mine, grown up in a bible believing church, today 40 years later believe that Paul and Jesus contradict each other. I have never before had to argue with him on such things, but since the internet came he has during a period of 10 to 15 years changed his theology from believing the canon consisting of 66 books to doubt Paul and even the main understanding of the new covenant. Growing up as a bible believing Pentecostal he has now summoned his beliefs in mainly keeping the commandments and thus doing the will of God. His reason for that is that emperor Constantine and the Catholic Church decided what books were to be in the bible and not God. The last two years he has even started to believe that the doctrine of the trinity is false teaching. I am perplexed of this falling away. Somebody had this trouble with close friends now in our modern day?

By what authority do you bring your interpretations that imply errancy? Is your interpretation and knowledge of the history inerrant? Liberals use extra-biblical knowledge of linguistics and history to deny the factual veracity of scripture themselves. In many places in the Psalms it declares God's truth is without fault and pure words. It declares the writings of the apostles are from God, and that God does not err. Much like the doctrine of the Trinity, it is obvious to anyone who reads.

If we rearrange R.C. Sproul's words, we arrive at a definition closer to the truth: "Divine inspiration is the term later men attach to a previous human author's activity, when those later men require a vehicle to enable them to set forth a divine and supernatural origin for the human author's words." There only appear to be stars farther than 6,000 years old, according to Young Earth Creationists. Their starlight is real but the parent star is only a fiction in the sky. Likewise, the authors and the writings of the Bible are real, but the divine inspiration behind them is just a fiction that later men placed in their own imaginations.

Good stuff, but regarding the title of the series “Hath God said…” there is a problem with using Gen. 3:1 as a rally cry for biblical inspiration or inerrancy. It appears to be utilized this way because of a perceived parallel between the serpent’s questioning of God’s word and the modern unbeliever questioning whether Scripture is God’s word (or whether he has spoken at all). The parallel dissolves in light of the direct objects of the two questions. For the serpent’s question, the direct object is a faulty quote (“you can’t eat from any tree in the garden”) whereas for the unbeliever, the direct object is Scripture itself. One is a twisted, inaccurate version of what God said, the other is God’s very speech. These should not be confused. The problem ultimately is that the correct answer to each question is different. To answer the serpent correctly, one would say “no, God has not said that” whereas to the unbeliever you would answer “yes, God has indeed spoken through Scripture.”

Sproul has knowingly misled his audience about the meaning of "infallibility." It means that the biblical texts, despite their flaws and limitations, will "unerringly convey" divine truth to the spiritually-prepared reader. Infallibility insists that God safeguards the complete divinely-guided process of inspiration/writing of texts/hearing or reading/comprehension or conviction. Inerrancy refers to the texts themselves and is easily refuted, both as a logical concept, a practical possibility, and an actual historical fact. God did not safeguard the texts, either originally or as we have them now.

How can the Bible be infallible and inerrant? God says Gen 6:6 6And the Lord regretted that He had made man upon the earth, and He became grieved in His heart. God thought he had made a mistake! If God might make a mistake then there could be errors in the Bible. Either God is not infallible because he makes mistakes and therefore neither is the Bible infallible or the Bible is ERRANT at Gen 6:6! Also when the Dead Sea Scrolls were found they found there was a whole verse missing from the Masoretic text from one of the books. The text makes more sense with this verse included. They think the scribe got distracted at some point and when he got back to scribing the text, he jumped accidentally to the same word but in the next verse missing out a whole passage. So the Bible is not inerrant. If there is inerrancy then it can only be the Word of God which is inerrant which may or may not be written down correctly in the Bible. On top of that the Bible has many interpretations snd translations. Jews and Christians can be markedly different in their translations and interpretations of the Old Testament. So it is not safe to call the Bible inerrant and infallible. There was no canon when Jesus was on the earth and protestants have a different Canon to the Catholics. They removed the Apocrypha because they did not have an early enough copy. Therefore they said the apocrpha was not to be included in the canon. The trouble is most of this apocrypha was found in the Dead Sea Scrolls and in Hebrew or Aramaic. Therefore tje Catholic Canon was right. Only people who have never experienced the Holy Spirit with power could rely so totally and heavily on the Bible and yet the Bible would not exist without the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. John MaCarthy criticises the Charismatics about their experiences of the Holy Spirit but these experiences are Biblical. Look at 1 Kings 8:11 the priests in the temple could not stand up to minister to the people because the glory cloud was so powerful and filled the temple.

Biblical inerrancy is just at useless doctrine, because it is not the Bible that is the truth, the way and the life. It is Jesus. If you do not know Jesus you will never find truth in the Bible. Many theologians love scripture more than they love God and their neighbours and because of that they do not know Jesus. Do not follow priests or theologians only follow our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Word of God.

Were the biblical authors capable of authentically loving God WHILE God was allegedly successfully preventing them from erring? If so, then why doesn't God impose on the rest of humanity this magical influence whereby they can't err, but but but...they are still capable of authentically loving him? In other words, conditions necessitated by biblical inerrancy refute the popular retort that "God doesn't prevent us from erring because that would take away our freewill, and we need freewill to authentically love god". That's false. Apparently, under conditions necessitated by biblical inerrancy, God IS capable of rendering you incapable of erring while preserving your ability to authentically love him. NOW what is so unreasonable in the skeptic who says God has no excuse for allowing evil, because we know from the doctrine of biblical inerrancy that God CAN and actually DID preserve a creature's ability to authentically love him while simultaneously infallibly preventing them from erring, is actually achievable in this present fallen world?

I understand your argument, but consider; are being "influenced" by God and freely choosing to love him really mutually exclusive categories? It is my understanding of the Christian doctrine that we have free will, because that is what's necessary for any love or relationship to be meaningful. However, mankind chose rebellion against God. We as Christians understand that we ought to use our free will to choose God and to love Him. Part of doing that is admitting that we have made a mess of things through our own choices, and that we can only be saved through his power. Being saved requires us to VOLUNTARILY submit to his will! It sounds counterintuitive, but it's necessary for salvation. God cannot and will not work the same way through people that actively, consciously reject his grace and authority. We can see that God wrote the Bible through Godly men. (Godly, not perfect!!!) It is fair to say that through their experience with Him, the many biblical authors are willing to let God speak through him. This is how the prophets worked, is it not how scripture works? As for your final argument, it isn't an unreasonable question by any means. I don't know why God would make a creature who had the possibility to fall away from him. I don't think anyone can truly grasp that on this Earth. But God DID show that He loves us, He showed it by dying on the cross.

Unfortunately RC was a Calvinist who believed in and taught a false Calvinist gospel...

You are wrong. The bible teaches about God's Sovereignty. You must not even be saved.

the bible teaches particular redemption. Jesus died for His sheep see John 10. He did not die for the goats see Matthew 25. Which kind are you?

You are not a Christian it you do not believe in inerrancy.. R.C. Sproul.was obsessed with unbelievers and their totally irrelevant views. Colossians 2;8

He does explain the difference of the words well, however most people don't understand the differences. Which is why I so boldly exclaim INSPIRED. Even the great apostle Paul was biblically weak when it came to women, I have biblical proof of that. But we have been breaking God's very first commandment. We have exalted the bible to the level of an idol

the bible has in it the holy word of God. if you don't believe what is in holy scripture, then you gotta question what you really believe in. a christian that does not believe holy scripture is really not a christian at all.

Paul was biblically weak in regards to women!? Do you not believe in Genesis 1-3? Paul roots his "weakness" here.

Well in reality most of the textual analysis and criticisms occurred within the last 500 years, since the Bible was made more available in languages other than Greek and Hebrew - - I. E since the Reformation. Yes I know there were strong early Christian traditions of Bible study and commentary in the first few hundred years of Christianity, too, like from the church fathers and people like Augustine of Hippo.

Does not the Quran proclaim Jesus as a prophet of Allah? And Jesus proclaimed himself to be God. And Allah would not allow his prophets to be liars nor to have his words through them to be lost or changed, right?
