Biblical Inerrancy: A Reflection
- Country : Ghana
- Subject : Religious Education
Abstract
For two thousand years in the history of the church, the authority of the Bible was not questioned. However, for more than two centuries, an assault on the reliability of Scripture has come in relentless waves from influential voices on the margins of the evangelical movement. Biblical inerrancy has, therefore, become a subject of discussion for the past two centuries among scholars. The purpose of this paper is to revisit the issue of biblical inerrancy to present the augments for and against the subject. The paper will make clear whether the Bible is errant or inerrant. It will further help its readers to approach it as the authoritative source of truth revealing God’s will and the plan of redemption He has laid in place for mankind. The paper concluded that the Bible is without mistakes and errors. Its origination is a firm assurance to its inerrancy. A true God who seeks the salvation of His children will not watch for false accounts containing the plan of salvation to be presented to them. It was made clear that biblical inerrancy has a link with God and His plan to save mankind. When it is rejected, it will put God’s plan to save mankind in danger. Therefore, biblical inerrancy should be held in high esteem.
