Yes, God is infallible. We're now under a grace covenant, not the law, but yes the law is important and should be followed. It should be followed because it's etched in our hearts and we're compelled to follow it.
Edit: The guy two answers down is a Catholic. Catholicism is not biblical Christianity (just look at the crusades) and the Pope most certainly is not infallible. ONLY God is infallible.

God is infallible, but the bible was written by men, who are all fallible. It is therefore practically impossible that the Bible spells out His Divine law to the letter. If you read it, you will also notice that it is full of what would be glaring contradictions if taken literally. Each Christian looks at and interprets the Bible in his/her own way and follows His dDivine law in his/her own way... Although certain principles are obviously central to Christian belief and cannot be "interpreted" in quite such an open fashion.
This answer carries a health warning... Not all Christians think like me, and not all Theists are Christians. So finding out how "Theists" as a general group think is gonna be pretty damned impossible thanks to the immense diversity. It's like a guy trying to work out how women think lol!

God (His Son and Spirit) is infallible and the Bible doesn't specify anyone else who is. Otherwise, they'd be equal to God and worthy of worship and that's not possible. God's law is given for our benefit, but we cannot abide by all the law. That's why God sacrificed His Son. We try to follow God's law, not out of obligation, but because of the love God has for us and the love we should have for God.

Yes. The bible is the inspired word of God. every word in their is what He said. The newer versions have changed that but the KJV hasn't. Every word in there is what God wants us to hear and we shouldn't change it. He is infallible

The bible spells out God's divine law. If you don't follow it to the letter you will die.
All people die.
Those who follow the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus live eternally in the presence of the King of Kings.
Glory to his name!

God is omniscient. The Pope is infallible. The Bible is part of God's inspired Revelation to us. The Sacred Tradition is the other part. The Bible is primarily a book about worship, not about law.

Yes He is infallible,
Mic:6:8: He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

The Kingdom of God is in you, not in the Bible.
I think atheists in general say " I control myself, I am a god unto myself. "

Truth is infallible.
The Bible isn't.
