Defending Faith: Understanding the Myths of Biblical Inerrancy

"Boot Camp: Getting Ready to Fight the Battle for Your Faith" by Carey Roesel and James Patrick Holding tackles common misconceptions about biblical inerrancy. This resource equips believers with the knowledge to address myths such as the notion that divine inspiration equals dictation, and that inerrancy applies to all copies of the Scriptures. With insights from the Chicago Statement, the authors emphasize the importance of understanding the Bible within its historical context, seeking qualified answers, and judging the text by its original standards rather than modern assumptions.

  4. SORRY!The real ones couldn’t make it. So….

  5. The Chicago Statement The Chicago Statement is the main statement of doctrine which describes inerrancy. No….it’s not about “deep dish pizza”… Please…hold the matches until we’re finished…thank you.

  6. Myth #1: Inspiration Equals Dictation Did God control every single stroke of the pen? “The mode of divine inspiration remains largely a mystery to us.” – Chicago Statement, Article 7

  7. Myth #1: Inspiration Equals Dictation Inspiration is NOT: • God controlling the pen personally • God giving dictation word for word Inspiration IS: God using the natural abilities of His human instruments to get the results He wants

  8. Myth #2: We Are the Standard Do we assume our meaning and values – or look for theirs? “[God] utilized the distinctive personalities and literary styles of the writers whom He had chosen and prepared.” -Chicago Statement, Article 8

  9. Myth #2: We Are the Standard When reading the Bible, DO NOT: • Assume your values onto the text • Automatically conclude that something you don’t understand is wrong or “nonsense”, etc. When reading the Bible, DO: • Seek out answers from qualified sources to questions that are raised in your reading • Try to find out what it meant to the people who first wrote and read it • Judge the text by THEIR standards

  10. The Abomination That Causes Misinformation

  11. Myth #3: Inerrancy Means Covering Every Possible Misinterpretation “Duh…the Bible is not clear. Must be God’s fault.”

  12. 1 Kings 9:26 (King James Version) And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Ezion-Geber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red sea, in the land of Edom.

  13. 1 Kings 9:26 (Picky Atheist Version) And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Ezion-Geber, which is beside Eloth, which was on the shore of the Red sea, in the land of Edom, at the time I wrote this. In the year which will be numbered 2008 (according to a system to be invented by some people called Romans) Ezion-geber will not be by the Red sea any more because the water will recede.

  14. Myth #4: Inerrancy Means Inerrant Copies [Inspiration] applies only to the autographic text of Scripture...– Chicago Statement, Article 10

  15. Myth #4: Inerrancy Means Inerrant Copies “But why DIDN’T God keep the copies inerrant?” • It would lead to “bibliolatry” (historical note: RELICS!) • It would lead to restricted access to the Bible
