Biblical inerrancy
From CreationWiki, the encyclopedia of creation science
(Redirected from Inerrancy)
Biblical inerrancy is a belief and a doctrinal stand that the Bible is without error. Such belief or trust in the truths of the Bible weigh heavily into our epistemology, and ultimately our faith in salvation.
There are two forms of inerrancy known as strict and original inerrancy.
- Strict inerrancy holds that the Bible is without error in its present form.
- Original inerrancy holds that the Bible was without error in its original form, but has accumulated a few minor and insignificant errors through years of copying.
Although many argue that the Bible contains numerous contradictions, the trust in Biblical inerrancy is held because it is believed the Bible is inspired by God, and shows evidence of this in many forms.
- It is prophetic - remarkable prophecies have been substantiated scientifically. [1]
- It possesses advanced scientific foreknowledge.
- Its history is thoroughly substantiated by archaeology.
