I like to read the blog of a guy named Tim Challies, I think you’d like him as well. So, I’m going to post links to three of his blog posts about “inerrancy” in the bible. What’s inerrancy, you ask? Well, it’s one of the largest arguments that people use to prove their disbelief. The first article is a big broad look at all that stuff people mention when they try to say God’s word can’t be trusted. Read the second article to get his definition of “Inerrancy”. Finally, read the third to tackle what could be “boo-boos in the Bible”.

I hope you guys like it. I’m going to put the first little tidbit after the link to give you an idea of what you’re going to read.

1. Are There Errors In The Bible:

“A few days ago I received an email from a reader of this site who was concerned about how to answer those who claim that the Bible is a book filled with error and contradiction. Such claims are common and, sadly, are more and more being put forth even from within evangelical circles. This reader affirmed his belief in the inerrancy and authority of Scripture but was looking for some guidance on how to answer the multitudes of claims against the Bible.

I’d like to take that on.”

2. What Does Inerrant Mean:

“When I first began to develop and understanding of this doctrine, I found that the doctrines of Scripture cannot be neatly separated, one from the other, for they are intertwined and interrelated. So in the first article I wrote about inspiration, canon, transmission and authority. Today I will turn to inerrancy, first explaining what it is not (often a good place to begin, I find) and then providing a working definition.”

3. Errors And Contradictions In The Bible:

“This is the third and final article in this short series dealing with inerrancy and with the Bible’s supposed errors and contradictions. In the last article we defined what inerrancy is not and then attempted to adequately define the term. I suggested the following definition: The inerrancy of Scripture means that Scripture in the original manuscripts does not affirm anything that is contrary to fact. Today we will look at some common objections to this doctrine as well as some problems that may arise if we deny it.
