The law of the LORD is perfect,
converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is
sure, making wise the simple, Psalm 19:7.
In an age of lies
and deceit, it is refreshing to renew my mind in something that is perfect and
sure. The Bible is that solid ground where we can know what is right and be
confident to find the unadulterated truth. The Bible is inerrant which means it is without error. Everything in
God's Word is true because it was spoken by God, who cannot lie. Whether it be
doctrine, history, or prophesy, the Bible is without error. It is perfect in
application and sure in its promises. God is Holy, perfect, and true and so is
His Word. God is unchanging, and so are His promises.
Because God’s Word is
inerrant, it is a sure guide for our life. Our feelings can change through the
day. Our gut instincts can be wrong. Family can give us terrible advise. But
the Bible will never lead us into error because it is not only without error,
it is also infallible.
Infallible means not
capable of being wrong, which is a stronger word than inerrant because the
Bible is true, and it will never fail. No future scientific discovery will ever
overthrow the Bible. Jesus said that Heaven and Earth would pass away before
the Word of God. NASA is going to pass away. Charles Darwin already has passed
away. College campuses will pass away. I used to work for Oxford University
Press and we sold new text books every year because the old books were already
outdated. God’s Word will not pass away.
I've lived long enough
that science has told me that the eggs I eat for breakfast would kill me, but
now, I'm told that they are good for me. I've been told the Earth will be
destroyed in an ice age, but now they say the earth is going to burn up in
global warming. Coffee was bad for me once upon a time, but now science tells
me it can be good for me. I think I'll stick to God's Word and thank Him every
morning over a cup of hot coffee, some eggs and a couple slices of bacon (I
Timothy 4:3-5).
God’s Word is not able to
be wrong, since it is spoken by an eternal, omniscient God. We can trust God's
promises of salvation by grace, through faith, in the finished work of Christ.
The Bible's teaching about damnation and eternal judgment are true and sure.
Every word of God is true and will not be changed, updated, or found to be
incorrect. You can trust God's Word in your marriage, in raising your family,
at work, at play. You will never be disappointed by following God because God
will never lead you astray. Psalm
12:6 The words of the
LORD are pure words. Rejoice in the
purity of truth.

Those are some proud and bold claims there ..... do you have any evidence that they are true?
How did you go about determining that there are no errors?
Unlike you, I've read and studied it.
