Bibliology Inspiration And Inerrancy Of The Bible
Bibliology: Inspiration and Inerrancy of the Bible
To say that the Bible has authority is to say that the Bible is from God, because God is authority. Because the Bible goes about directing your attention to God, we can imply that it is reverencing any authority found in its pages to a supreme authority giver. With any authority given it must begin with God, for he is his own authority. This is found when he makes a covenant with Abraham in the Old Testament. No other name is of greater authority and so the Lord swears an oath by his own name.

Not only are they inspired by God and revealed to us through the Bible, but also they are precisely what God wanted to be understood. Just as God is known to be without error, following sensibly neither are his words without error. (John 1:1) When it comes to Biblical passages that are found to prove inerrancy false such as morally objectionable scripture, we must ask our selves “what is morally objectionable? and “Who decides what is and is not morally objectionable?” This is supposing there is a law that makes some things objectionable and others not. And if we can say there is such a thing than we must admit that somewhere there is a supreme lawgiver who decides what is and is not morally objectionable. And if there is such a living being to decide what is and is not morally objectionable than it must be super naturally authoritative. This follows up with the understanding that God is authoritative and the scripture through inerrancy and inspiration point to him as being so. If this can be accepted as truth, than all other argumentative material can be understood as inaccurate and false. No form of alleged errors, ridicule, divergent events or numbers can hide the light of subjected truth on this
