Inerrancy | S1E2

Join Kevin Boyd, Dustin Chappell, and Justin Foster for our second episode of But Wait! There’s More! In this episode we talk about Theology 101: How do we trust the Bible is true? Listen along to see how a blender, J.I. Packer, and a rotted tree made it into our conversation!

Key Points:

What does inerrancy mean?

The Bible is without error.

Why bother with inerrancy? And does it matter?

Scripture is the ultimate authority in rule and faith. It is God’s word to His people so that we know who He is and how to be saved and how to live life with Him.

Isn’t it enough that I have a connection to the Bible without believing that it is inerrant?

When we look at the Bible without the lens of inerrancy, we become the arbitrators of what is right and wrong and that causes problems.

What is Biblical Inerrancy grounded in?

If God is without error, then His word is without error.

What’s the best translation to use?

Any translation that is faithfully translated by a team of scholars.

What does the Bible have to say about inerrancy?

Psalm 12:6
Psalm 119:105
Psalm 19:7
Proverbs 30:5
2 Timothy 3:16,17
2 Peter 1:21
Bottom line: If we deny the trustworthiness of the Bible, the word of God, how then are we to trust the God of the word?
