I have been told several times in order to find my answers I need to look to the bible because it is the 'inerrant word of God." Why? What proof is there that the bible is the inerrant word of God? Was it not written by fallible human beings and therefore subject to being fallible?
The physical act of putting it in writing was done by fallible humans. However we believe that the books contained in the Bible were inspired by God through His Holy Spirit. The people wrote what God was leading them to write.
There are books that were used along side the Old Testament before and after the days of Christ which were not considered Scripture. They were used like devotional books are used today. They can be good to read, but are not necessarily words from God. They are included in today's Catholic Bible, but most Protestants refuse it. Some protestant will read them, but do not feel comfortable including them in the printed Bible.
