Isn't the Bible filled with
errors ?
Because the Bible is God's Word and God cannot lie (Isaiah 55:10-11;
John 17:17; Titus 1:2; Hebrews 4:12), it's totally trustworthy, free from
any error. God's Word is described as "the word of truth" (2 Corinthians
6:7; Colossians 1:5; 2 Timothy 2:15; James 1:18). Inerrancy isn't a theory
about the Bible; it's the teaching of the Bible itself.
What most people claim as errors in the Bible aren't errors but
difficulties. People think they've stumbled upon apparent inconsistencies
when they haven't taken the time to find out all the facts, or made an
in-depth study of the passage. Many Bible questions have been answered as
new discoveries have been made in fields such as language, history,
archeology, and other sciences.
Regardless of the kind of difficulty found, not a single irreconcilable
error can be found in the Bible's pages.
