Does the Bible Have Errors?

The Bible as we know it was translated over many years from the original Hebrew and Greek manuscripts. These original manuscripts are true (infallible) and without error (inerrant) since they were directly inspired by God. God can’t lie and does not make mistakes, so you can trust both what he has said, and the process by which he preserved his Word.

The Inerrancy of Scripture

The inerrancy of Scripture means that Scripture in the original manuscripts does not affirm anything that is contrary to fact.

Is Inerrancy a Helpful Term?

I believe inerrancy remains a helpful term because it makes an important claim about Scripture that reflects what Scripture claims about itself. It’s also a claim rooted in the character of the God who inspired the Bible’s words.

Does the Bible Have Errors?

Men talk of all the “mistakes of Scripture.” I thank God that I have never met with any. Mistakes of translation there may be, for translators are men, but mistakes of the original Word there never can be, for the God who spoke it is infallible and so is every Word He speaks, and in that confidence we find delightful rest.

For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.
