Religious and Philosophical Reasons Why We Don’t Have Inerrant Copies
This is the granddaddy of the issues in answering this argument. The first aspect of it is one that Skeptics themselves should easily see.
Hardened skeptics often call Christians "bibliolaters" - thus implying that the Bible is some sort of "leather-covered security blanket" that Christians worship and would be frantic without. This charge is unfortunately sometimes true, although I could say the same of some skeptics and their copies of Origin of the Species, or of certain adherents of certain Skeptics in regards to their own fearless leaders. At any rate, we can see easily why, first, this dichotomy is wrong, in terms of a blanket assessment; and second, how this leads us to the biggest reason why we do not have inerrant copies of Scripture today.
First, it is plain that neither the Bible nor a belief in inerrancy is required to be a Christian. If this were so, then skeptics like Frank Morison or C. S. Lewis, who believed in the historicity of the Resurrection but not in the inerrancy of the Gospel reports of it, would never become Christians. ..." Click above link to continue.
You can call me whatever name you want and it won't change a thing. I'll stand by what God has said about His Bible. It's far better to have men laugh than to have God laugh.
Bible-believing, Christians who have a personal relationship with God believe that "all Scripture is given by inspiration of God" (2 Timothy 3:16). Bible-believing, Christians who have a personal relationship with God understand this to mean that the whole Bible is inspired, in that holy men of God "were moved by the Holy Spirit" (2 Peter 1:21) to write the very words of Scripture.
Bible-believing, Christians who have a personal relationship with God believe that this divine inspiration extends equally and fully to all parts of Scripture as it appeared in the original manuscripts.
Bible-believing Christians who have a personal relationship with God believe that the whole Bible in those original manuscripts is, therefore, without error.
Bible-believing Christians who have a personal relationship with God believe that all Scripture centers around the Lord Jesus Christ in His person, work, and in His first and second coming. Therefore, no portion of the Old Testament is properly read or understood until it leads to Christ.
Bible-believing Christians who have a personal relationship with God also believe that all Scripture was designed for our practical instruction. (Luke 24:27, 44; John 5:39; Romans 15:4; 1 Corinthians 10:11; 2 Timothy 3:16)
Finally, the first chapter of the Book of John, written by God, states, that Jesus Christ is the Word:
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
So, for those who actually do believe what God has said about His Scriptures, and who take those Scriptures seriously, to deny the Scriptures is to deny Christ. And denial of Christ and rejection of His death on the cross as payment for sin condemns a person to eternal separation from God.
It's that serious.
