Inerrancy

Inerrancy:

    Inerrancy is a word which describes the concept of the complete accuracy and truthfulness of the Bible as the Word of God.  When we say that the Bible is "inerrant", we mean that the Bible is wholly true, that it was given by God to the original authors in such a way that it is with­out error and is free from untruth.

    The authority of Scripture is a key issue for the Christian church in this age, as it has been in every age.  Christian believers are called upon to show the reality of their discipleship by humbly and faithfully obeying God's written Word.  Therefore, recognition of the total trustworthiness of Scripture is essential to a full and adequate confession of its authority.

    There is a continuous attack on the Word of God and its place as the authoritative representa­tion of the mind of God on earth.  This attack is orchestrated by Satan himself as part of the spiri­tual conflict.  The following paragraphs state the position of fundamental believers on the ques­tion of the authority of the Bible.
