Do you ever wonder why inerrancy of Scripture comes up every once in a while? Well I have my own theory and I have backed it up with verses of Scripture. It is this: if anyone can say that they have proven that there are parts or whole sections of Scripture that are false or are only fiction, etc. then certain beings have seemly won a battle; because Scripture is the only means to tell if what certain beings, spiritual or human, are saying are in line with what God want us to know and follow. For instance, I hear a minister say something on TV and it sounds good, but I make sure what is said is truth by seeing what it says in Scripture. Another for instance, I read something by someone saying they got their truthful information from spiritual voices, I then check Scripture and find out that the "spirits truth" is in opposition to what Scripture states as truth. So whether Scripture is inerrant, infallible, or not is important to finding out what truths to follow.
Here are some verses showing the inerrancy and infallibility of the written Word of God that some call the Holy Bible or The Scriptures.
Psalms 19:7-14
; 119:89-176; Zechariah 7:8-12; Matthew 5:17-19; 19:4-5; 21:13; Luke 4:3-12; John 10:33-36; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; Ephesians 3:1-12; 2 Timothy 3:12-17; 1 Peter 1:17-25; 2 Peter 1:19-21
I have used two versions of Scripture to help others get a fuller meaning of the English translations. "The Scriptures" published by Institute For Scripture Research. Internet Web Page - http://www.messianic.co.za and The King James Version (Authorized)
The
Torah of �������� is perfect, bringing back the being; The witness of �������� is trustworthy, making wise the simple; The orders of �������� are straight, rejoicing the heart; The command of �������� is clear, enlightening the eyes; The fear of �������� is clean, standing forever; The right-rulings of �������� are true, They are righteous altogether, More desirable than gold, Than much fine gold; And sweeter than honey and the honeycomb. Also, Your servant is warned by them, In guarding them there is great reward. Who discerns mistakes? Declare me innocent from those that are secret, Also keep Your servant back from presumptuous ones, Do not let them rule over me. Then shall I be perfect, and innocent of great transgression. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be pleasing before You, O ��������, my rock and my redeemer. (Psalms 19:7-14 The Scriptures 1998+)
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. [Psalms 19:7-14 The King James Version (Authorized)]
Forever
, O ��������, Your word stands firm in the heavens. Your trustworthiness is to all generations; You established the earth, and it stands. According to Your right-rulings They have stood to this day, For all are Your servants. If Your Torah had not been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction. Let me never forget Your orders, For by them You have given me life. I am Yours, save me; For I have sought Your orders. The wrong have waited for me to destroy me; I understand Your witnesses. I have seen an end of all perfection; Your command is exceedingly broad. O how I love Your Torah! It is my study all day long. Your commands make me wiser than my enemies; For it is ever before me. I have more understanding than all my teachers, For Your witnesses are my study. I understand more than the aged, For I have observed Your orders. I have restrained my feet from every evil way, That I might guard Your word. I have not turned aside from Your right-rulings, For You Yourself have taught me. How sweet to my taste has Your word been, More than honey to my mouth! From Your orders I get understanding; Therefore I have hated every false way. Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path. I have sworn, and I confirm, To guard Your righteous right-rulings. I have been afflicted very much; O ��������, revive me according to Your word. Please accept the voluntary offerings Of my mouth, O ��������, And teach me Your right-rulings. My life is in my hand continually, And Your Torah I have not forgotten. The wrong have laid a snare for me, But I have not strayed from Your orders. Your witnesses are my inheritance forever, For they are the joy of my heart. I have inclined my heart to do Your laws Forever, to the end. I have hated doubting thoughts, But I have loved Your Torah. You are my hiding place and my shield; I have waited for Your word. Turn away from me, you evil-doers, For I observe the commands of my Elohim! Support me according to Your word, That I might live; And put me not to shame Because of my expectation. Sustain me, that I might be saved, And always look to Your laws. You have made light of all those Who stray from Your laws, For falsehood is their deceit. You have made to cease All the wrong of the earth, like dross; Therefore I have loved Your witnesses. My flesh has trembled for fear of You, And I am in awe of Your right-rulings. I have done right-ruling and righteousness; Leave me not to my oppressors. Guarantee Your servant�s well-being; Let not the proud oppress me. My eyes have pined away for Your deliverance, And for the word of Your righteousness. Do with Your servant according to Your kindness, And teach me Your laws. I am Your servant � make me understand, That I might know Your witnesses. It is time for �������� to act! For they have broken Your Torah. Therefore I have loved Your commands More than gold, even fine gold! Therefore all Your orders I count as right; I have hated every false way. Your witnesses are wonders; So my being observes them. The opening up of Your words gives light, Giving understanding to the simple. I have opened my mouth and panted, For I have longed for Your commands. Turn to me and show me favour, According to Your right-ruling, toward those who love Your Name. Establish my footsteps by Your word, And let no wickedness have rule over me. Redeem me from the oppression of man, That I might guard Your orders. Make Your face shine upon Your servant, And teach me Your laws. Streams of water have run down from my eyes, Because they did not guard Your Torah. Righteous are You, O ��������, And Your right-rulings are straight. You have commanded Your witnesses In righteousness and truth, exceedingly. My ardour has consumed me, For my adversaries have forgotten Your words. Your word is tried, exceedingly; And Your servant has loved it. I am small and despised; I have not forgotten Your orders. Your righteousness is righteousness forever, And Your Torah is truth. Distress and anguish have found me; Your commands are my delight. The righteousness of Your witnesses is forever; Make me understand, that I might live. I have called with all my heart; Answer me, O ��������! I observe Your laws. I have called upon You; Save me, that I might guard Your witnesses. I rise before dawn, and cry for help; I have waited for Your word. My eyes have gone before the night watches, To study Your word. Hear my voice according to Your kindness; O ��������, revive me according to Your right-ruling. Those who pursue mischief have drawn near; They have been far from Your Torah. You are near, O ��������, And all Your commands are truth. Of old I have known Your witnesses, That You have founded them forever. See my affliction and deliver me, For I have not forgotten Your Torah. Plead my cause and redeem me; Revive me according to Your word. Deliverance is far from the wrong ones, For they have not sought Your laws. Your compassions are many, O ��������; Revive me according to Your right-rulings. My persecutors and adversaries are many; I have not turned aside from Your witnesses. I saw traitors and was grieved, Because they did not guard Your word. See how I have loved Your orders, ��������, revive me according to Your kindness. The sum of Your word is truth, And all Your righteous right-rulings are forever. Rulers have persecuted me without a cause, But at Your word my heart stood in awe. I rejoice at Your word As one who finds great treasure. I have hated falsehood and loathe it, Your Torah I have loved. I have praised You seven times a day, Because of Your righteous right-rulings. Great peace have those loving Your Torah, And for them there is no stumbling-block. ��������, I have waited for Your deliverance, And I have done Your commands. My being has guarded Your witnesses, And I love them exceedingly. I have guarded Your orders and Your witnesses, For all my ways are before You. My cry comes before You, O ��������; Make me understand according to Your word. Let my prayer come before You; Deliver me according to Your word. My lips pour forth praise, For You teach me Your laws. My tongue sings of Your word, For all Your commands are righteousness. Your hand is a help to me, For I have chosen Your orders. I have longed for Your deliverance, O ��������, And Your Torah is my delight. My being lives, and it praises You; And Your right-rulings help me. I have strayed like a lost sheep; Seek Your servant, For I have not forgotten Your commands. (Psalms 119:89-176 The Scriptures 1998+)
LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants.
Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.
I am thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts.
The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies.
I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad.
MEM. O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.
Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.
I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.
I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.
How sweet are thy words unto my taste yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments.
I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word.
Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments.
My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law. The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts.
Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart. I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end.
SAMECH. I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love.
Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.
Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.
Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.
Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood. Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies. My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.
AIN. I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors. Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.
Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness.
Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes. I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.

Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes.
Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law.
TZADDI. Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments. Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.
My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words.
Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.
I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.
Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.
Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights. The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live.
KOPH. I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes. I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.
I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word. Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.
Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment.
They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law. Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.
Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.
RESH. Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law. Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word.
Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.
Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments.

Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness.
Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.
SCHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.
I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.
I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love.
Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments.
Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.
LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments.
My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly. I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways are before thee.
TAU. Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me understanding according to thy word. Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy word.
My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes.
My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness.
Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts. I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my delight.
Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me.
I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments. [Psalms 119:89-176 The King James Version (Authorized)]
And the word of
�������� came to Zek�±aryah, saying, "Thus said �������� of hosts, â��Execute true right-ruling, show kindness and compassion everyone to his brother. "Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the stranger or the poor. And do not plot evil in your hearts against one another.â�� "But they refused to listen, and they shrugged their shoulders, and stopped their ears from hearing. "And they made their hearts like flint against hearing the Torah, and the words, which �������� of hosts had sent by His Spirit through the former prophets.

And the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother: And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart. But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear. Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts. [Zechariah 7:8-12 The King James Version (Authorized)]

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
