Inspiration and Inerrancy — What They Actually Mean (It's Not What You Think)

The Bible is the inspired infallible unchanging Word of God but what does that actually mean In this episode we continue our Systematic Theology series by turning to the doctrine of Scripture itself where it came from why it's trustworthy and how to answer some of the hardest questions people raise about it We tackle a common objection head-on that the Bible was written by so many different people over so many centuries that it can't really be one unified message and show why that's actually strong evidence for Scripture rather than against it We define inspiration the very words [... more]
