Perhaps, if you do this work, someone here can become a non-believer in the veracity of the entire Holy Bible, the written Word of God just as you are.

The entire Bible is not the words of God. Song of Solomon was not written by a prophet and is not the word of God.

If your faith is centered around the infallibility of the Bible, then you don't have any faith to begin with.

Your faith should be in the infallibility and perfection of God Himself and His Son Jesus Christ. Nothing that man has touched will ever be perfect.

I would suggest that you stop treating the Bible like some magical talisman and look at it truthfully. It's a tool to help us learn about God. But it should never take the place of God.

Pray first. Read second.

You'd make a VERY poor missionary!

They tell you to READ first; THEN pray about the BoM.

"Infallibility" is a religious word associated with the RCC magesterium and the RC pope. "Inerrant" is the word I used to characterize the written Word of God, the Bible.

The Bible perfectly reveals the manner of thinking that belongs to the Lord Jesus Christ, who is perfect and without sin. The Holy Bible, reveals the Mind of Christ to the believer in Lord Jesus Christ but not to the unbeliever...the one who doubts.

Children can discern and accept that which is causing you to pull back in disbelief regarding just Who wrote the Bible and what it is that is being revealed so wonderfully! It is the same Author Who is revealed to each Christian who believes without doubting in the Word of God, however that Word is expressed and made manifest. The Author, the Inspiration of the Holy Bible is the One known as Jesus of Nazareth.

Verily, I have told you.
