The words of the Lord are pure words, like silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. You shall keep them, O Lord, You shall preserve them from this generation forever. Psalm 12:6-7
If we didn’t have the Bible—God’s revelation to us written in a book—what would be our basis for truth, for knowing right from wrong, for understanding how to think and live in our world?
Or, what if the Bible had errors in it, where statements about people, places, and events were proven false?
The perfect truthfulness of Scripture in every word is one of the great foundations of the Christian faith. For example, if what the Bible says about Jesus Christ is incorrect, our faith, as the apostle Paul states, is “empty” and “futile”.
For the past several years, The Christian Worldview has held an essay contest for students interested in attending The Master’s College in California. The question that students wrestled with this year was: Define and explain the doctrine of biblical inerrancy and the role that it plays in a Christian worldview.
Great question, but perhaps challenging for some of us to clearly articulate. The good news is the Dr. Abner Chou, professor of Biblical Studies at The Master’s College, will join us this weekend—along with the grand prize winner of the essay contest—to discuss the importance of biblical inerrancy.
