Religion and Theology

Inerrancy is a terminology which relates to doctrine and is mostly used when facts are well outlined. The interpretation of autographs gives the truth of what is contained in scriptures. There have been several debates on whether the bible is inerrant. The interpretation of the bible gives some light on faith and the relationship with God. Biblical interpretation raises many answered questions on the relationship between man and God. People realize the revelation of God through the scriptures in the bible. The scriptures in the bible have been used to define Gods guidance. The bible gives coverage of the life of Jesus and His apostles. Through the bible, people ascertain His guidance through scriptures (Stephen, n.d). The bible is considered as a tool used for equipping, convicting and encouraging people. God portrays himself to His people in written form. The scriptures helps in gathering faith based on doctrines.

Stephens article about Biblical inerrancy looks in to the argument relating inerrancy. He observes the validity of these claims by considering each argument. There are three presuppositions which were put forth by Andrew. These include Gods existence in inspiring the Bible, the canon of Hebrew Scriptures and the concept behind resurrection. Gods existence in the bible and the issue of resurrection seem to be reasonable. The issue of arguing from the point of Hebrew Scriptures may be odd since these give biblical arguments on the manner Jesus distributed authority. Stephen proves inerrancy by giving valid support on the issue. He dismissed any historical arguments which obtained stability through listening. Andrew pointed out the weaknesses on some inerrantists for defending the argument on epistemological (Stephen, n.d.). He provided light on historical argument by ascertaining that historical argument is directed to historical norm.

There is some strength which can be attained from Stephens stand on Epistemological argument. The inductive argument directed towards Andrews viewpoint indicated the strength in Epistemological argument. Stephen pinned down Davis argument of human reasoning. Andrews Biblical argument on prophecy showed his weak points. He quoted various scriptures which highlights on prophecy. Amongst the quoted scriptures are Mathew 5 and 2peter1. Stephen argument about the Biblical interpretation is complete.

My viewpoint is the support of inerrancy in the bible. The importance of inerrancy can be attained by referring to the several quotes indicted in the article. The scripture is normally taken be the word of God. Therefore the scripture is considered to be inspired, thus presenting the doctrine of inspiration. The consideration of the scripture as the world of God makes one believe inerrancy of the bible.  I coincide with Andrews Biblical argument. My differing view to his stand is the manner in which he concludes about the argument. Gods inspiration has been narrowed down to prophecy. This is according to the quotes provided by Andrew. This is contrary to Pauls teaching about Gods inspiration in the scripture. God is considered to inspire the scripture. This can be evidenced by scriptures contained in Matt and Numbers (Stephen, n.d.). The logical argument would therefore be Gods appearance in written form, Gods inspiration of the scripture and the inerrancy of the bible since god can not lie. It is clear that the bible is full of inerrancy. The reference made by Jesus remains unknown since most of the scripture are believed to be inspired by God.  All the words contained in the bible are inerrant.
