Why do you think the Bible is infallible when there is so much evidence to say that it is not infallible.

I'm Christian and I cannot say that I believe the Bible is infallable. The word of God is law. RELIGION is man's OWN interpretation of God's Law plus whatever they think God should have included but didn't. I absolutely believe in God Almighty, but the Holy Bible was written by MEN of different RELIGIONS (or faiths). I believe, that if a person were to believe in God, all you need to do is read Exodus chapter 20. Those Ten Commandments are all that I remember reading that GOD ACTUALLY WROTE. The rest, well, I don't remember hearing tell of God autographing a copy of the Bible.

Can I answer the question with a question?

Does the Bible get its authority from the church, or does the church get its authority from the Bible?

Which predates which?

Anyway, great question, getting people to think. As a follower of Jesus myself, I have to ask why we as a group attest to so much faith in the Word yet do so little of what it teaches in the actual practices and traditions of our faith.

Ouch.

But to answer your question more directly, people need absolutes. I'm no different, I believe in absolutes.

I believe the Word is infallible. John tells us the Word became flesh and dwelled among us. So I'm more inclined to say the LIVING WORD is infallible.

I could provide you with many links showing the Bible's many errors, but what difference would it make.

I think it would actually be worse if the Bible was right and we were here with the sole purpose to serve God in a world that's only in between times where God wipes out most of society. So you keep worship your God that kills babies, sets up guidelines for slavery, treats women as 2nd class, creates AIDS, and threatens the people He created in His love and glory with eternal hellfire.

You still want the Bible to be the truth?

Edit: Here is an undeniable contradiction:

How many stalls and horsemen?
KI1 4:26 And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.

CH2 9:25 And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; whom he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.

4,000 or 40,000? Now not a life changing error, but an error nonetheless, which makes the Bible questionable. This is an indisputable error, therefore it is safe in saying that the Bible has errors is a fact.

I don't know why people still feel the bible is infallible, all they have to do is read the book Misquoting Jesus to see that a vast majority of the King James Bible is falsified and made up by translators and scribes.
I suppose its the same reason that a lot of Asians still believe that eating shark fin will make men more Verile and women more fertile. Its all BS, but people still believe it.

I will just mention one thing for proof....PROPHECY. Not one minute detail of ANY prophecy written in the Bible that has been fulfilled has had ANY discrepancy. There have been brilliant people that have spent their lives trying to disprove the Bible...and FAILED. You tube...well enough said.

I just described why I think the Bible is inerrant, which in turn shows that it is infallible. Infallible means "incapable of error".

I wouldn't say that it is infallible. The typical line is "inerrant". Which it is not. What it is is inspired. There's a difference.

Both sides need to understand, there is no way that you are going to understand what is written in the bible accurately in English-- which is what most people, Christian and not, tend to do here.

Most of the complaints about the Bible's errancy is merely due to a lack of study of Greek, Aramaic, and Hebrew. People need to know that, oitherwise, they are just telling me that there are errors in the English translation.

Having studied the Bible for over 20 years I've yet to find anything false about it. The so-called contradictions are almost always due to lack of study of the text or taken out of context just to try to prove a point. The presence of God in my life just backs up what my study has shown.

the ethical regulation is perpetual. It grew to become into given from the introduction of the international till the very end of the international. without lacking a step the ethical regulation that's summarized in the ten Commandment have rigidity as lots in the previous testomony as as we communicate. A 2nd form of regulation is the civil regulation. The civil rules are those rules which ruled the rustic of Israel in the previous testomony. The punishments got here across in the previous testomony are component of the civil regulation. The civil regulation grew to become into began with the start of the rustic of Israel and persevered till the destruction of the temple in 70 A.D. The punishments got here across in the civil regulation are given are for those which commit the main scandalous sins. God is the giver of existence and the author - and has the nicely suited to decree the punishment for sin. in reality your grievance does no longer make experience - if God's punishment for sin is hell fireplace - those earthly punishments are no longer something in assessment.

There is just way more evidence that the Bible is infallible as opposed to being flawed. It's as simple as that.

Inerrancy and infalibility are 2 different things.

The Bible is perfect enough theologically and historically to amaze any scholar or historian. It is human enough to give any unbeliever doubt.
