| | Biblical inerrancy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Biblical inerrancy is the belief that the Bible is without error. | | | In its most stringent form, Biblical inerrancy holds that the Bible is literally true in every word, at least in the original autograph (the first texts written in the original Hebrew, Greek or Aramaic). | | | The belief takes several forms, ranging from Biblical literalism (the belief that the Bible is true in every word) to the belief that Biblical texts require interpretation in order to be understood correctly. |

| | inerncy |
| | The basis for the doctrine of biblical inerrancy is located both in the nature of God and in the Bible's teaching about itself. | | | Just as biblical authority only became part of Protestant confessions in the sixteenth century to counter the idea that tradition is the supreme authority of he church, so the doctrine of biblical inerrancy was only explicitly formulated to counter explicit denials of the Bible's truthfulness. | | | This is as true of inerrancy as it is of the doctrines of the Trinity, or of justification by faith. |

| | The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy says that the autographs of the Bible, that is, the actual parchment or papyrus on which the Biblical authors wrote, accurately reflects the authors intent. | | | It could be argued that postmodern Christianity is compatible with Biblical inerrancy, when the latter is understood to be referring to the complete fulfillment of the author's intent in the autographs, and allows for meanings not necessarily intended by the author but not incompatible with authorial intent. | | | Biblical inerrancy is one of the tenets of Fundamentalist Christianity. |

| | How the ICBI Started |
| | Biblical inerrancy is one of the theological issues that is being dealt with by the International Church Council, which is in many respects the spiritual successor to the now defunct ICBI. | | | At that conference we would also work through and release a set of affirmations and denials on the inerrancy of Scripture and claim that there is no real biblical authority without biblical inerrancy and that the church was bound to deteriorate to the degree it rejected the inerrancy of the Bible. | | | Another ICBI book, The Foundation for Biblical Authority, edited by James Boice and also published by Zondervan, answered the Roger's book and is an excellent survey for the pastor and academic layperson to come to a solid understanding of the debate and the historical arguments of the church for the Bible's inerrancy. |

| | Chicago Statement on Biblical Hermeneutics |
| | Summit I of the International Council on Biblical Inerrancy took place in Chicago on October 26-28, 1978 for the purpose of affirming afresh the doctrine of the inerrancy of Scripture, making clear the understanding of it and warning against its denial. | | | While we recognize that belief in the inerrancy of Scripture is basic to maintaining its authority, the values of that commitment are only as real as one's understanding of the meaning of Scripture. | | | This view is emphatically rejected in favor of the inerrancy of all Scripture. |

| | The Modern Inerrancy Debate |
| | Part of the difficulty in all of the inerrancy debate is a problem, even apart from all the other doctrinal and ideological agendas and presuppositions at work, in understanding the nature of Scripture as we have it in terms of God& self revelation in history, and in terms of what we mean by inspiration. | | | As a result, the Bible is often made to serve the doctrine of inerrancy, a move which runs counter to one of the primary tenants of the Reformation, that Scripture should be the primary authority for the faith and practice of the Christina community, not doctrines. | | | Even many conservative biblical scholars are now willing to acknowledge that the Gospels were likely written from earlier sources, either written or oral, that preserved the teachings of Jesus in the 35 or so years between his life and the writings of the first Gospels. |

| | Theology Today - Vol 35, No. 1 - April 1978 - THEOLOGICAL TABLE-TALK - Evangelicals and Inerrancy: The Current Debate |
| | For evangelical theology, belief in biblical inerrancy and belief in biblical authority have been very closely connected, and therefore the inerrancy debate touches upon what many people feel is the basis of authority and religious certainty. | | | Their study of the Bible and theology has convinced them that the assumption of scientific precision and accuracy, such as the term inerrancy connotes, is inappropriate when it comes to biblical realities. | | | It is my feeling that if the opponents of biblical inerrancy frame their positive position in practical and pastoral terms, they may be able to exercise great influence in the evangelical movement and not be shoved off to the side. |

| | Deep calls to Deep - A New Kind of Christian - Blog: Inerrancy |
| | Inerrancy doesn't concern itself with such figures of speech--unless you want to define "inerrancy" in a way that inerrantists DON'T. The fundamental issue in the inerrancy argument goes to the question, "what is the Bible?" Is the Bible God's Word TO us, or is it man's word ABOUT God? | | | That believers until the 20th century had little to say about inerrancy in no way suggests that they didn't believe it; rather, I'd suggest that no one had the temerity, until the 20th century, to call himself a "Christian" and doubt it! | | | This is the same with Jesus' mustard seed teaching. |

| | Inerrancy: Is the Bible Infallable, Inerrant, Free of Error? |
| | Other Christians use the term "limited inerrancy" to refer to the belief that the Bible is perfectly free of error only on matters of moral, spiritual and religious truth. | | | Inerrancy is a major part of the belief of conservative Protestants. | | | Biblical authority is the belief -- near universally held among conservative Christians-- that: "the Bible, as the expression of God's will to us, possesses the right supremely to define what we are to believe and how we are to conduct ourselves. |

| | Theology Today - Vol 31, No. 4 - January 1975 - ARTICLE - Biblical Inerrancy: Are We Going Anywhere? |
| | The question of biblical inerrancy is remarkably the same now as it was nearly a century ago. | | | But as long as inspiration and inerrancy are tied together, the line will be drawn then, as it is now, whether inerrancy or verbal inspiration are essential doctrines which cannot be compromised or reduced, or whether they are secondary doctrines which are not formal objects of faith. | | | Thus the issue of biblical inerrancy, among others, became a political-ecclesiastical struggle over whether non-conforming ministers and candidates (to the five points) could be excluded. |

| | The Doctrine of biblical inerrancy |
| | In this author's opinion, the belief of biblical inerrancy, as the clergymen articulate it, presents the biggest obstacle to people who are sincerely trying to find God and his will through the bible, from being successful in that endeavor. | | | The key doctrine, however, is biblical inerrancy and that belief will be the main focus of this article although the accompanying beliefs will be addressed. | | | The infallibility doctrine says that since inspiration and inerrancy are true, the teachings of the scripture are infallible, since they perfectly represent God's mind on what issues they speak to. |

| | The Error of Biblical Inerrancy |
| | Biblical inerrancy means that since the human authors and editors of the Bible were led or influenced by God, it follows that the Bible is "the Word of God." It also implies that the writings have been thereby supernaturally protected from error, and that therefore scripture is entirely trustworthy and authoritative. | | | Not everyone, however, accepted inerrancy — as we found out in the case of the Roman Catholic Church. | | | 185-254) denied that the biblical writers lost their free will under the force of divine pressure. |

| | Modernism and Biblical Inerrancy |
| | The doctrine of biblical inerrancy is so interwoven with the doctrine of Christ that to deny the former logically leads to a denial of the latter. | | | The doctrine of the inspiration, inerrancy and authority of the Bible rests upon the doctrine of God. | | | Since Jesus authored all the Scriptures by His Spirit, and since He Himself taught the inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible, then the Bible is a book that is to be used to disciple the nations. |

| | Traditional Biblical Inerrancy |
| | As I will be showing in upcoming articles on the new fundamentalists, this position is as impossible to defend as the traditional view of biblical inerrancy, but at least the traditionalists have a semblance of logic on their side. | | | In the case of the biblical god Yahweh, the Bible claims that truth and honesty are features of his nature. | | | In other words, if the biblical record can be proved fallible in areas of fact that can be verified, then it is hardly to be trusted in areas where it cannot be tested. |

| | Evangelical Scholars Further Explain Support for Biblical Inerrancy -- Beliefnet.com |
| | A group of evangelical scholars has taken the first step to more clearly state its support of biblical inerrancy, the belief that the Bible is without error. | | | "The case for biblical inerrancy rests on the absolute trustworthiness of God and Scripture's testimony to itself," reads the resolution, which was approved by a 4-to-1 margin. | | | It also states that members should refer to the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, created in 1978, as a further explanation of the group's stance. |

| | There is a difference between Bible inerrancy and Biblical translation and interpretation. | | | When we do this, the inerrancy comes through from behind how we practice and interpret Scripture. | | | If inerrancy could be defended against the skeptic's questions, then perhaps we could avoid the pitfalls of moral relativism by staking our position on a more firm frame of reference for morality. |
