Is the Bible Inerrant?

The Bible itself does not claim to be inerrant. Perhaps the closest the Bible comes to claiming to be without error is in a New Testament letter known as 2 Timothy 3:16.

Is the Bible inerrant or infallible?

For example, Davis suggests: "The Bible is inerrant if and only if it makes no false or misleading statements on any topic whatsoever. The Bible is infallible if and only if it makes no false or misleading statements on any matter of faith and practice." In this sense it is seen as distinct from biblical inerrancy.

Does the Bible have inconsistencies?

Modern scholars find inconsistencies in the Old Testament and Torah and ascribe many of them to the process by which they were created.
