How can we be sure that the Bible is infallible?

My friend, even the air in my lungs would be more properly used by someone more worthy.

Everything I do and say will effect everyone, and everything, mostly in a negative way.

For that I ask everyones forgiveness.... always.

Forgive me.....

Forgive me...

Every Christian says that the Bible is inspired by the Holy Spirit.

...but the Bible was written by men...
...and they sin
...and so they could be inspired but say "nahhh, I'd rather write my own thing". It might seem stupid, but every sin is so...
We can be assured by God that His scriptures are infallible! I suggest that if you are unsure that you ask Him.

Hey, Orthodoxy - It's soooo good to see you, Brother!

Here is how the bible records 2 of the authors..
Acts 4:13Now as they observed the (S)confidence of (T)Peter and John and understood that they were uneducated and untrained men, they were amazed, and (U)began to recognize them as having been with Jesus.

Yet these farmers fisherman and tax collectors wrote the bible, a work of literature penned better than the work of all other known great authors...That in itself should LOCK in the fact for you that these writings are divinely inspired!

...much the same proof used for the Qur'an by some Muslims.

Better than the work of all other known great authors? You mean a work that heavily plagiarized other previous works, contains a multitude of errors that any decent editor would have taken issue with, presents various conflicting views of the two main characters (God and Christ, namely) and makes only mildly creative use of symbolic meaning? I understand your desire to revere the Bible highly, but seriously, as a work of literature it's no where near the pinnacle.

aaaaah....only the Holy Spirit could have enlightened you thus.

It is not a case of weather the Bible is infallible, it is weather you have a correct translation.

God is not a liar and never contradicts himself, do you have a Bible that never on a single occasion contradicts itself ?

If you have, then you do not neccesarily have an infalible Bible...as there are those who read and do not understand because understanding has not been granted to them....yet.....but you will have an inspired translation, that never contradicts itself, because God never contradicts himself.

I will provide a link to a free online version of the NT for you.

It is inspired translation...just bear in mind...that you may not understand all of it.

Peace

The only way to know for sure is to ask God. Jesus personally told me the Christian Bible is his written word.

there are those who read and do not understand because understanding has not been granted to them

This is very interesting... why has understanding not been granted to them?

If some have been granted understanding, and some haven't... isn't that unfair?

And with so many having differing interpretations of what they read... which have understanding, and which do not?
