Episode Summary

In this episode, Pastor Jeff and Jen dive into the theological concept of inerrancy. The Bible always tells the truth. Christians believe we have a perfect Bible because we have a perfect God. We believe we have a trustworthy Bible because we have a trustworthy God.

Topics We Discussed in this Episode

● [3:00] Inerrancy means that the Bible always tells the truth, and that it always tells the truth concerning everything it talks about.

● [5:56] Inerrancy provides spiritual orientation, something that Christians can trust in and hold fast to.

● [9:02] How do we respond to so-called inconsistencies and perceived errors in Scripture?
