Is Bible inerrant

The Bible is simply man's stoneage attempt to explain the Unexplainable just like all other religeous writings.

It's childish not to require the teachings to evolve! Everything else has!

If you're stuck in believing the Bible...why are Adam & Eve painted with an olive leaf to cover the bellybuttons. Because we don't know what the hell we are doing!! (manknind that is!)

Grow up...it almost 2008! For God's Sake! LOL!

OR...
Genesis represents God's explanation of the world to those who had no scientific experience in terms they could relate to. If there is/was God and God felt it timely to explain the world how else would God have presented a cosmology to those who were struggling with basic engineering - in terms of relativity and quantum theory?

Maybe God trusted us to do the updating of his creation metaphor on our own as science evolved.

ROFLAO!! Like "God", the ultimate teacher, couldn't figure out how to explain his world to his creation.

"How else"? Can't believe you can ask that question -- even an unbeliever can answer that one hypothetically ... about a bazillion different ways.

Yeah, maybe.

Quote from smilingsynic:

Yes, you are right that a lot of Christians do not hold that the Bible is inerrant, or that is infallible. I am one of them.

The Bible, as I stated earlier here, is a critical holy book in Christianity. That is so despite its errors.

Is the Bible God's special revelation? No, it is a human book (collection of books).

After all, if God had wanted believers to consider the Bible as inerrant or as infallible, God would have ensured the reliability of the biblical text.

Its manifold errors and inconsistencies suggest otherwise.

I ain't no Bible scholar nor nothin'.. but does it actually say anywhere in the Bible that the Bible is inerrant?

Ah, yes, but perhaps the Holy Father feels that it's best that we learn at a certain pace. Who are we to question the ways of the Lord?

Very funny. But you actually make a point.

As Dr. Fill suggests it's just possible that we are'nt intended to know the whole story all at once. Maybe God just felt that we had reached a point in our evolution that some sort of explanation was needed.

Of course, there were those Greeks with all their amazing science; but they had a truly primitive relgious system based in Fate rather than self-determination.

Brother Hansel, surely thou jesteth.
 
Like Einstein could explain his theories to his infant children so that they would truly understand at his level...

and the gap between Einstein's mind and his children's mind is insignificant compared to the gap between a human mind contained within a size 7 & 1/2" cap and an Infinite God...

Quite seriously, you really do have a God complex...in so many ways.

Many will tell you that the bible *does* claim to be inerrant and will back it up with multiple passages, such as:

2nd Peter 1: 20, 21
2nd Timothy 3:16, 17

Others will say it makes no such claim.

With devout and sincere christians on both sides of the issue (though most overwhelmingly crowd onto the inerrant side) I find it amusing that the 2Pet 1:20 verse should say there is no "private interpretation" allowed.

Interestingly, private interpretation is rampant, with all sides claiming that theirs is not strictly "private", but blessed by their personal relationship with "the Lord". Of course, this can't be true since they come to a myriad of conclusions (interpretations).
