Why do you believe the bible is infallable?

Question

I understand it's the inspired word of God but man did write it and man isn't perfect....meaning there could be contradiction, errors?

Answer 1

the bible is so full of lies it's unimaginable that anyone could give it credence.... I guess that's why christians are proud of their BLIND faith.

Answer 2

SOUNDS LIKE YOU BELIEVE IN GOD. YOU BELIEVE HE INSPIRED THE SCRIPTURES. HE CREATED MAN AND WOMEN,THE UNIVERSE, WHY WOULD YOU THINK HE COULD NOT PROTECT HIS INSPIRE WORD?The Bible is a gift from God, one for which we can be truly grateful. This unique book reveals things that we could never find out otherwise. For example, it tells us about the creation of the starry heavens, the earth, and the first man and woman. The Bible contains reliable principles to help us cope with life’s problems and anxieties. It explains how God will fulfill his purpose and bring about better conditions on the earth. What an exciting gift the Bible is!If you have a copy of the Bible, you are far from alone. In whole or in part, the Bible has been published in more than 2,300 languages and thus is available to more than 90 percent of the world’s population. On the average, more than a million Bibles are distributed each week! Billions of copies of either the whole Bible or part of it have been produced. Surely, there is no other book like the Bible.

Furthermore, the Bible “is inspired of God.” (2 Timothy 3:16) In what way? The Bible itself answers: “Men spoke from God as they were borne along by holy spirit.” (2 Peter 1:21) To illustrate: A businessman might have a secretary write a letter. That letter contains the businessman’s thoughts and instructions. Hence, it is really his letter, not the secretary’s. In a similar way, the Bible contains God’s message, not that of the men who wrote it down. Thus, the entire Bible truthfully is “the word of God.”—1 Thessalonians 2:13.

Answer 3

Well the word of God was written by God through man, Think on this , the Bible has many books that span over thousands of years, yet they all co inside. How but by God can this be,
and what of all the prophecies? some are coming true today! Being these are the end of times, if you don't believe me Read your news papers,

Answer 4

Holy Men of God wrote the bible, meaning, they were guided by God's Holy Spirit to write it, thus, there are NO contradictions or errors in the bible! It IS infallible because God wrote it Himself through the scribes, apostles, prophets, etc. When those holy men of God were given guidance and inspired by God's Holy Spirit to write the bible, there is NO room for error! God is perfect and infallible, thus, His word is also! :D

FORGERY IN CHRISTIANITY

"Being crafty, I caught you with guile" ...
For if the truth of God hath more abounded
through my LIE unto his glory; why yet am
I also adjudged a sinner?"
St. Paul.


"What profit has not that fable of Christ
brought us!"
Pope Leo X.

CHAPTER I

PAGAN FRAUDS -- CHRISTIAN PRECEDENTS

"Neither in the confusion of paganism, nor in the
defilement of heresy, nor yet in the blindness of Judaism, is
religion to be sought, but among those alone who are called
Catholic Christians." (St. Augustine, De Vera Religions, v.)


EVERY RELIGION, PRIESTCRAFT, and Sacred Book, other than the
Roman Catholic Christian, is thus branded as false in fact and
fraudulent in practice. The Jews, however, excluded by those who
have expropriated their ancient faith, make the same imputations of
falsity and fraud against the Christian religion, based on their
own ancient sacred Scriptures, and founded, as the Christians
claim, by a Jewish Incarnation of the Hebrew God, -- which, say the
Jews, is a horrid blasphemy; and they brand the Sacred Books of
Christian origin as false and forged.

The Christians, all their hundreds of warring Sects, in their
turn impute to the Jews the blasphemous repudiation and monstrous
murder of the Son of the ancient Hebrew God, Yahweh; and with ample
usury of blood and torture have visited that fabulous iniquity upon
the hapless sons and daughters of Jewry unto half a hundred
generations of "God's Chosen People."

But, of the countless Sects of Christians, one alone, it
avers, is of the True Faith; all the others are false and beyond
the hope of heaven: "Whoever will be saved, it is necessary above
all else that he hold to the Catholic Faith," -- so reads the
venerable forged Athanasian Creed. (CE. ii, 33, 34.) The Protestant
Sects, however, though they all admit the same origin and accept in
full fatuity of faith most of the same forged sacred writings for
their rule of faith as the One True Church, yet apply the scornful
epithet "Antichrist" to their venerable Mother in Christ; freely
dub a dozen of her canonical sacred Books of Jewish origin, and
most of her thousands of canonized Saints, forgeries and frauds;
and assert many of her most holy dogmas and sacraments to be
blasphemous and degrading superstitions. The while their own scores
of hostile factions mutually recriminate each the other as blind
leaders of the blind and perverters of the sacred Truth.

Answer 7

Yes, but man's infallibility cannot overcome the spirit of the message of God, which carries through like a huge neon sign throughout the Bible!

Answer 8

the very fact that the new testament accounts are not all the same, leads credibility to the truth of the gospel
after all 4 people arent going to recount circumstances the same way, if it was exactly the same in each book of the new testament, then one could call it a consipiracy.

Answer 9

You're exactly right. The accuracy of the Bible depends on how well the writers understood what God was revealing to them. We know many were not all that spiritually enlightened as Jesus came and taught a totally different philosophy.

Answer 10

Man is imperfect! God is perfect. God prompts us to be holy for he is holy. The gift of the Spirit is a perfect influence and instructor for man.
