Is the Bible true?
And not, “Does it contain truth?” I mean, “Does every word in the Bible reveal and teach true facts about reality?”
What we’re really driving at is the question of biblical inerrancy. Is the Bible entirely free of error, or does it contain mistakes?
For the first 1700 years of its existence, the church almost universally believed in the inerrancy of the Bible. Some Christians still do today.
So, does this mean just accepting that the Bible is true, free of any mistakes, without question? “God said it. I believe it. That settles it.” Is that the idea?
Proving that God’s Word is true and contains no mistakes is exactly what God wants us to do. He doesn’t just want us to believe it’s true. He wants us to know it!
But how? How can we know that the Bible is true?
