Rash, isn't it funny that people mix up English? Scripture is inerrant, i.e. without error. Scripture does not make a decision for you, it is not animate so is neither fallible nor the other way. A person can be fallible or not, an inanimate book isn't
The entire Word of God i.e. Jesus Christ is infallible and He grants us grace to infallibly follow His teachings.
"The entire Word of God i.e. Jesus Christ is infallible and He grants us grace to infallibly follow His teachings."I've been around and around on that with a few folks over the years. When I was a teenager you would hear "inerrant" all the time but sometime in the mid-seventies you started hearing "infallible" more often. The first place I noticed the switch to "infallible" was with the "World Tomorrow" crowd who claimed their interpretation of prophecy was infallible because Scripture is infallible. Then in some of the "Great Surrender and Escape" books, and then the next thing you knew everyone was claiming to be infallible because they quoted a verse or two along with their personal opinion.
I think it's part and parcel of the bogus "proof-text" game that ignores context and the fact that the entire Bible fits together and doesn't contradict itself. Playing that game allows each individual to rationalize whatever they like as long as they can find a Scripture verse they can claim to base their opinion on. It's just more proof that once people embrace the heresy of Core they all end up going along with whatever has the best marketing slogan, is most popular with their peer group, or has the most charismatic spokesman.
One of the interesting "infallible" things I often see is people who say, "the New Testament doesn't specifically condemn contraception so it's OK" then turn right around and say, "it's not right to baptize infants because there's no example of anyone doing that in the New Testament", then claim both of those interpretations are "infallible" because they're "based on Scripture". You know the inmates are running the asylum when they "infallibily" toss the murder of between eight and thirteen million infants a year with abortafacient drugs into the huge, "Christian Liberty" dumpster, but "take a stand" on when to baptize any infants who happen to survive.
