WHAT DOES INERRANCY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

inerrancy

Biblical inerrancy

Biblical inerrancy, as formulated in the "Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy", is the doctrine that the Bible "is without error or fault in all its teaching"; or, at least, that "Scripture in the original manuscripts does not affirm anything that is contrary to fact". A formal statement in favor of biblical inerrancy was published in the Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society in 1978. The signatories to the "Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy" admit that "inspiration, strictly speaking, applies only to the autographic text of Scripture". However, even though there may be no extant original manuscripts of the Bible, those which exist can be considered inerrant, because, as the statement reads: "the autographic text of Scripture,... in the providence of God can be ascertained from available manuscripts with great accuracy". Some equate inerrancy with infallibility; others do not. Biblical inerrancy should not be confused with Biblical literalism.

Definition of inerrancy in the English dictionary

The definition of inerrancy in the dictionary is the doctrinal position that, in its original form, the Bible is totally without error, and free from all contradiction.
