Are there Errors in the Bible?...

“A few days ago I received an email from a reader of this site who was concerned about how to answer those who claim that the Bible is a book filled with error and contradiction. Such claims are common and, sadly, are more and more being put forth even from within evangelical circles. This reader affirmed his belief in the inerrancy and authority of Scripture but was looking for some guidance on how to answer the multitudes of claims against the Bible.

What Does "Inerrant" Mean?

“Yesterday I began a short series on the inerrancy of Scripture, looking at whether there are errors and contradictions in the Bible. You can read the first article and the response to it here: Are There Errors in the Bible?. When I first began to develop and understanding of this doctrine, I found that the doctrines of Scripture cannot be neatly separated, one from the other, for they are intertwined and interrelated. So in the first article I wrote about inspiration, canon, transmission and authority. Today I will turn to inerrancy, first explaining what it is not (often a good place to begin, I find) and then providing a working definition.”

Errors and Contradictions in the Bible

“This is the third and final article in this short series dealing with inerrancy and with the Bible’s supposed errors and contradictions. In the last article we defined what inerrancy is not and then attempted to adequately define the term. I suggested the following definition: The inerrancy of Scripture means that Scripture in the original manuscripts does not affirm anything that is contrary to fact. Today we will look at some common objections to this doctrine as well as some problems that may arise if we deny it.”

“From being the Great Omission to the Great Commission.”...a lie repeated long enough becomes like a truth. Great Omission? That is a lie. The Great Commission has never been omitted in the 2000 years and more of the history of the Church. The “Church” has always and continues to fulfil the Great Commission since its foundation by the LORD Jesus Christ Himself.

Matthew 28:18And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.

To help your conception of what hell is

(Jonathan Edwards)

"His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will clear His threshing floor, gathering His wheat into the barn—and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire!" Matthew 3:12

"They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!" Matthew 13:42

"Then He will say to those on the left—Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the Devil and his angels!" Matthew 25:41

"If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell—where the fire never goes out!" Mark 9:43

"He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire!" Luke 3:17

"I am in agony in this fire!" Luke 16:24


"Those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire!" Jude 1:7


To help your conception of what hell is—imagine yourself to be cast into a fiery oven—or into the midst of a great furnace, where your pain would be as much greater than that occasioned by accidentally touching a coal of fire—as the heat is greater. Imagine also, that your body were to lie there for a quarter of an hour, full of fire, as full as a bright coal of fire, all the while full of quick sense. What horror would you feel at the entrance of such a furnace! And how long would that quarter of an hour seem to you! If it were to be measured by the hour-glass, how long would the glass seem to be running! And after you had endured it for one minute, how unbearable would it be to you—to think that you had yet to endure the other fourteen minutes!

But what would be the effect on your soul—if you knew you must lie there enduring that torment to the full—for twenty-four hours! And how much greater would be the effect—if you knew you must endure it for a whole year! And how vastly greater still—if you knew you must endure it for a thousand years! O then, how would your heart sink, if you thought, if you knew—that you must bear it forever and ever! That there would be no end—that after millions of millions of ages, your torment would be no nearer to an end, than it ever was; and that you would never, never be delivered!

But your torment in Hell will be immeasurably greater than this illustration represents! How then will the heart of a poor creature sink under it! How utterly inexpressible and inconceivable, must the sinking of the soul be in such a case!

God points out the fact that homosexuality is an abomination, a wicked depraved sin....take it up with God.

"We would do well to recognize that the God of the Bible does not condemn homosexuality in an arbitrary and capricious fashion. Rather, He carefully defines the borders of human sexuality so that our joy may be complete. It does not require an advanced degree in physiology to appreciate the fact that the human body is not designed for homosexual relationships. Spurious slogans and sound bites do n...more

"We would do well to recognize that the God of the Bible does not condemn homosexuality in an arbitrary and capricious fashion. Rather, He carefully defines the borders of human sexuality so that our joy may be complete. It does not require an advanced degree in physiology to appreciate the fact that the human body is not designed for homosexual relationships. Spurious slogans and sound bites do not change the scientific reality that homosexual relationships are devastating not only from a psychological but also from a physiological perspective: “Irritation of the sensitive rectal mucus layer causes a host of reactions, including diarrhea, cramps, hemorrhoids, prostate damage, and ulcers or fissures which in turn invite infection. The thin cell layer of the rectum is easily perforated, and its insensitivity to pain can lead to serious complications before a person is aware of any harm.”13

This is just the tip of an insidious iceberg. Common nonviral infections transmitted through homosexual activity are “amebiasis, giardiasis, gonorrhea, shigellosis, chlamydia, syphilis and ectoparasites.”14 Viral infections include “condylomata, herpes, hepatitis B and hepatitis A. Like bacterial infections, these diseases are easily transmitted by oral-genital contact, genital-anal contact and oral-anal contact.”15 Suffice it to say that while there are attendant moral and medical problems with sexual promiscuity in general, it would be homophobic in the extreme to obscure the scientific realities concerning homosexuality. It is a hate crime of unparalleled proportions to attempt to keep a whole segment of the population in the dark concerning such issues." ~ President Bartlet's Fallacious Diatribe

“Are you seriously saying you morally equate two adults of the same sex having consensual relations with an infant being anally raped?”...

How does God grade the sin of homosexuality between consenting adults of the same sex with the sin of the anal rape of an infant? As far as God is concerned both are evil wicked depraved sins. All sin is sin and the wages of sin is death. Two adults of the same sex having consensual relations with each other is the sin of homosexuality and is an abomination to God. An infant being anally raped must enrage God even more. Don’t worry, judgment day is coming. Perfect JUSTICE will prevail...if the two consenting adults that commit the sin of homosexuality and the anal rapist of an infant do not repent before they die they will be cast into the lake of fire forever. Are there degrees of torment within the lake of fire for different types of sins? I don’t know and I am not going there to find out...less

SBellam, why jump on someone's back just because of a typo? Are you judge, jury and executioner now? Are you CP's offical spelling Police or something? One hand on the key board the other on a dictionary? The goal of athiests is to deny the existence of the God they know exists it’s their whole main purpose in life really otherwise there'd be no atheists on the planet but there always will be God deniers on the planet, eh...God word says: “The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, They have done abominable works, There is none who does good. The LORD looks down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any who understand, who seek God. They have all turned aside, They have together become corrupt; There is none who does good, No, not one.” The Bible calls atheists “fools” not as in empty headed idiots but rather, morally deficient. The atheist is morally deficient as far as God is concerned. Every time you look in the mirror remember you are a foolish, morally deficient, person because you deny the existence of the God who does...what a sorry state of affairs...less
