The Rap Report dives deep into the essential topic of biblical inerrancy, kicking off with a serious question that hangs in the air: Are there errors in the Bible? Andrew Rapoport, the host, introduces his friend Keith Foskey, known for his humorous takes on various denominations, but today, he brings a weighty discussion on textual criticism. Kieth explores how to trust the Bible as the authentic word of God, touching on the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, a pivotal document from the '70s that sought to clarify what inerrancy truly means. This episode is a rich blend of scholarly insight and accessible discussion, making complex theological concepts relatable and engaging for listeners while also maintaining a light-hearted vibe amidst serious discourse. As he unravels the layers of biblical authority and textual transmission, they invite the audience to consider the reliability of Scripture in a world marked by skepticism and varied interpretations.Takeaways: The podcast discusses the importance of biblical inerrancy and how it underpins Christian faith, emphasizing that if the Bible contains errors, it poses a significant problem for believers. Andrew Rapoport introduces Keith Foskey, noting his expertise in textual criticism, which is essential for understanding how we can trust the integrity of biblical texts over time. The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, developed in the 70s, serves as a foundational document affirming the Bible's authority and trustworthiness amidst modern skepticism. Listeners are encouraged to explore the various translations of the Bible and the complexities surrounding textual variations to gain a deeper understanding of scriptural reliability. The podcast highlights the remarkable preservation of biblical texts, with a wealth of manuscripts that allow scholars to reconstruct what the originals likely stated despite minor variants. Rapoport argues that understanding the Bible's authority is key for Christians today, especially in light of contemporary challenges to its truth claims and interpretations.

Let’s settle in friends for some quiet time…. Just kidding. Episode 6 in this serial series interrogating the malformed pillars in evangelicalism is here. We examine one of the most important elements in evangelical belief systems–perhaps THE most important religious icon–the Bible. Evangelicals claim the Bible has supreme authority in designing beliefs. It’s the “Bible alone”, used with complete disregard for malformed interpretations. You may be wondering why chat about the Bible mid-way through this series and not at the very start. After all, isn’t the Bible central to evangelicalism? It is, but not in the manner you might think. The Bible has been distorted to become a tool for religious propaganda that advances the interests of white evangelicalism. In other words, the Bible is used to define conservative and white supremacist worldviews, and believers stuck in the pew of these churches must adopt specific interpretations or risk being excommunicated (if evangelicals had such a thing.) Malformed beliefs like biblical inerrancy and literalism are not, ironically, biblical, yet are core attributes used to keep the faithful in line. Let’s talk about it, Episode 6 is here.

The doctrine of Biblical Inerrancy is a very important one. It's a doctrine we should not waver on. The Bible is without error. It is inerrant and infallible. Since it is true, we should follow God's teachings. In this edition of the Love In Action Ministries Podcast, Ken teaches on Biblical Inerrancy and looks at the 1978 Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy. Please subscribe to and share the Love In Action Ministries Podcast. It is available pretty much anywhere you listen to podcasts. Thank you and God bless you.

In 1978, the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy was produced to define and clarify the claim that the Bible does not contain errors. In this podcast, Keith Foskey discusses the subject of inerrancy in light of the existence of textual variants in the manuscript tradition and how the Chicago Statement still stands as a useful took in this discussion. He also discusses teachings by men like Wesley Huff and others who are working towards clarifying the history of ancient manuscripts over against the claims of those who argue for corruption in the text.

In this episode I revisit three of my most controversial episodes (5, 19, and 57) that discussed the creeds of the Christian church and Biblical inerrancy. Most of the negative feedback from my show has been generated by these two episodes, and I wanted to revisit them one more time to clear up any potential misunderstandings. First, I explain how the common denominator among all protestants is the belief in the authority of scripture and why that should shape our understanding of the creeds and Biblical inerrancy. I then explain how I agree with every statement of the Apostle's Creed and discuss the importance of creeds in general while showing that the creeds are incomplete because, understandably, there are many important aspects of the Biblical witness that can't be fit into a short summary statement of important beliefs. I discuss how creedalism can sometimes screen out the teachings of Jesus, Christian ethics, and discipleship generally because they address mostly doctrinal statements, and that we need to understand the creeds within the larger framework of scripture so we don't neglect other essential aspects of our faith. I then turn once again to Biblical inerrancy, showing how it has been misappropriated by fundamentalists, progressives, and skeptics and used in ways that undermine the authority of scripture and cause interpreters to unjustifiably impose modern ideas about science and history back into the text. I also explain how defenders of the Chicago Statement, such as R.C. Sproul, have a hermeneutical method that is nearly identical to my own, and why retaining the language of ‘inerrancy' can work if it is carefully defined. I then explain why I prefer the terms ‘authority' and ‘reliability' over ‘inerrancy' while acknowledging that many people I know who hold to ‘inerrancy' are in complete agreement with me on the way in which the Bible ought to be interpreted. I hope this episode helps clarify my position on these important issues! Check out the upcoming episode (147, drops Thursday) for a conversation I had with Jacob Winograd of the Biblical Anarchy podcast about inerrancy.  Media Referenced:Ep 5: The Authority of Scripture and the Creeds of the Early Church: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/authority-scripture-creeds-early-church/ Ep 19: Biblical Inerrancy w/ Tim Price: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/biblical-inerrancy-problems-timothy-price/ Ep 57: The Chicago Statement: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/chicago-statement-on-biblical-inerrancy-a-critical-analysis/The Protestant Libertarian Podcast is a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute and a part of the Christians For Liberty Network.

Do most Christians have the wrong definition of inerrancy? You may have noticed some pretty significant discrepancies between the different Gospel accounts in the New Testament—discrepancies that skeptic Bart Ehrman didn't hesitate to point out during past debates with Dr. William Lane Craig, Jimmy Akin, AND today's guest! Is there a way for Bible-believing Christians to harmonize these variations, or should we throw out the concept of Bible inerrancy altogether?This week, author, Christian apologist, and New Testament scholar Dr. Mike Licona sits down with Frank to expose the truth about "errors" in the Bible, specifically tackling some of Bart Ehrman's objections to the reliability of the New Testament. He'll also discuss the release of his new book, 'Jesus, Contradicted: Why the Gospels Tell the Same Story Differently', which is a resource aimed to help Christians navigate through textual variances. During the episode, Frank and Mike will answer questions like:What is the true meaning of divine inspiration?What is the Chicago Statement of Inerrancy, and what are some of its shortcomings?Did God dictate to the Gospel authors?Are there errors in the original Bible manuscripts?What is literary spotlighting, and how does it apply to the Resurrection narratives?Buckle your seatbelts, friends, because this podcast episode is likely going to make you uncomfortable by challenging much of what you've been taught (or assumed) about biblical inerrancy. Is it okay that the Bible doesn't have camera-like accuracy in some places? Listen as Dr. Licona helps us to take a fresh look at the doctrine of inerrancy and then decide for ourselves. And be sure to pick up a copy of the book, 'Jesus, Contradicted'!To view the entire VIDEO PODCAST, be sure to join our CrossExamined private community.

Would Dietrich Bonhoeffer be comfortable signing the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy? To quote the man himself, “The theory of verbal plenary inspiration will not do.” Isn't that confusing? He has such a high view of the authority of the Bible. Bonhoeffer left German liberalism and combated theological and political error all around him. He… Download Audio

The Evangelical Theological Society (ETS) annual meeting is like Comicon for theology nerds. This is the place where evangelical scholars (the people who write the commentaries and study Bibles) present academic papers to each other. Many of these ideas are then taken back into seminaries, ministries, and local churches. We wanted to share about some of the papers we heard this week at ETS and how we think these ideas will potentially influence your Christian circles.

First, why a sermon series on Jude and why spend so much time in an epistle that is only one chapter with 25 verses? For starters, it is because we believe the Bible is the Word of God, and that it is fully inspirited by the Holy Spirit who superintended the personality and language of individuals to reveal His will to mankind in all matters upon which the sixty-six books that make up the Bible touches upon. Because the elders and I believe the Bible is the Word of God, it is our conviction that, it is to be believed, as Gods instruction, in all that it affirms, obeyed, as Gods command, in all that it requires; embraced, as Gods pledge, in all that it promises.[1] This is why, included in Meadowbrookes Statement of Faith are these words: We believe the Bible, including the Old and New Testaments, is the divine revelation, the original autographs of which were verbally inspired by the Holy Spirit, thus rendering them trustworthy and solely authoritative in faith and practice (2 Tim. 3:16, 2 Pet. 1:20-21). The Scriptures reveal the mind of God concerning the need and the method of human redemption, the character and destiny of mankind, and are useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work (Jn. 5:39, 2 Tim. 3:16-17). Expository preaching is the best method to teach and communicate the intended meaning of any given section of the Bible. Because there is so much packed into 25 verses in Jude, I will spend the next five Sundays preaching from it. The second reason why a sermon series in Jude is necessary is that we live in a very interesting time where I believe the following to be true: There is a new Gnosticism that threatens the Church today. When it comes to the types of things that have threatened the church in the past and what threatens the church today there is little difference, just different dress. Permit me to give you an overly simplistic explanation of the second century Gnosticism that threatened the early Church. First, the Gnosticism the first Church faced shared some characteristics with Judaism and Christianity, but those who were gnostic believed that salvation could only come through revealed knowledge that was either long forgotten or newly discovered. Some of the key beliefs of Gnosticism included: The material world is governed by evil and ignorance. True salvation is experienced through a secret or hidden knowledge. Truth is more subjective rather than objective. Some variants of Gnostic beliefs viewed the material world as evil, to include our bodies, as such, there was no harm in indulging fleshy desires, such as sex outside of marriage, since there would be no resurrection of our bodies. Other variants of Gnostic beliefs stressed a form of asceticism, or acts of piety to earn salvation. New Testament books such as Galatians, Colossians, 1 Timothy, and Jude address and warn about Gnosticism. Paul warned of the sort of teaching the Gnostics were guilty of with these words: But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed (Gal. 1:8-9). Ever since the apostles and the inclusion of the 66 books in our Bibles, there have been other books written and falsely ascribed to Thomas, Philip, Judas, and Mary, among many other writings that those sympathetic to gnostic beliefs believed to belong in Holy Scripture. Some of those writing suggest that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene, Judas was actually a hero who carried out secret instructions from Jesus to betray Jesus. These writings have been long rejected throughout Church history for good reason. Jude warned about such teachings: For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ (Jude 1:4). Today, there is a new Gnosticism, or perhaps a variant of the same old Gnosticism but in 21st Century dress. There is a resurgence among Christians that there is a secret knowledge that is uncovered by ancient sacred writings not included in our Bibles due to some conspiracy to keep them closed and unavailable to the Church. Related to both the old and new Gnosticism is a growing trend to question, doubt, or reject the belief that Jesus is God. This is not only true of Gnosticism, but also of any false teacher. Regarding those, who are called, beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ (v. 1), there were certain people who deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ (v. 4). What are some ways they deny Jesus? They deny the incarnation, that is his humanity, or his divinity, or the sufficiency of what he accomplished on the cross for sin-cursed humanity. The one thing that just about every cult or perversion of the Gospel has in common is a diminishing of Jesus divinity and humanity. Why attack Jesus in this way? Because to do so is to create a different Christ. We will spend time unpacking this point during this sermon series but let me leave you with something to ponder. If Jesus is not God, then for over 2,000 years Christians have been worshiping a false God. How so? If God is not Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, then we worship a false god. Let me put it in another way: If you trade a Jesus who is fully divine (God) and fully human, then that means you reject God as a Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), which means that you have rejected the true God for another god. The nature of Jesus is critically important for Jude. According to Jude, God keeps those who are beloved in God the Father, for Jesus (v. 1), and it is Jesus who keeps those who are beloved in God to present us blameless before God (v. 24). If you get Jesus wrong, you will get the gospel wrong; this is why the false teachers who crept in unnoticed, attack the nature of Jesus and this is why doctrine matters. We live in a day and age when doctrine does not seem to matter among many who claim to be Christian. God has communicated his will through the instrument of human language. By doing so, He has chosen to use language and the rules of grammar to reveal his will, character, nature, redemptive plan, and everything else Holy Scripture addresses. Therefore, our view and understanding of all that the Bible teaches is subject to a reading of the Bible that takes a particular section of Scripture in its grammatical, theological, historical, cultural, and literary context. This is what is called a Biblical Hermeneutic and it is a system that the Holy Spirit honors to shape and guide the Christian. This is how our understanding of the various doctrines of our faith are formed and shaped. We live in a day and age when what or how one feels about God or His Word is the hermeneutic used to understand His Word. In other words, the doctrines of some who call themselves Christian are shaped by their feelings. According to a 2022 Ligonier Ministries State of Theology survey those who indicated that they strongly agreed with the following were considered evangelical: The Bible is the highest authority for what I believe. It is very important for me personally to encourage non-Christians to trust Jesus Christ as their Savior. Jesus Christs death on the cross is the only sacrifice that could remove the penalty of my sin. Only those who trust in Jesus Christ alone as their Savior receive Gods free gift of eternal salvation. What is shocking is a significant number of evangelicals surveyed profoundly misunderstood the nature and character of God: Almost three out of four (73 percent) agree with the claim that Jesus is the first and greatest being created by God. More than half (58 percent) believe that God accepts the worship of all religions, including Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. More than half (56 percent) agree that worshiping alone or with ones family is a valid replacement for regularly attending church. More than half (55 percent) believe the Holy Spirit is a force but is not a personal being. More than half (55 percent) agree that everyone sins a little, but most people are good by nature. More than half (53 percent) disagree with the claim that even the smallest sin deserves eternal damnation. More than one in three (46 percent) disagree that every Christian has an obligation to join a local church. Almost half (44 percent) say that Jesus was a great teacher, but he was not God. Almost one-third (29 percent) agreed with the statement that God learns and adapts to different circumstances, while only 43 percent disagreed.[2] What this survey reveals is that many Christians today do not understand or hold to, the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints (Jude 1:3). For these reasons and more is why I am convinced a sermon series in Jude is important. There is a lot going on in our world that is unsettling. There are great global sorrows we may face in this generation or maybe the next generation; the question I am haunted by is how am I as your pastor preparing you for such sorrows that are coming? John Piper wrote in his book, Spectacular Sins: Christians in the West are weakened by wimpy worldviews. And wimpy worldviews make wimpy Christians. God is weightless in our lives. He is not terrifyingly magnificent. His sovereignty is secondary (at best) to his sensitivity.[3] I believe Piper is right. I believe an expository sermon series on Jude, or any book for that matter, helps prepare us for both global sorrows and personal sorrows such as cancer, divorce, general suffering, etc. Here is what expository preaching does best: It shines the light of Gods word upon the mind in such a way that the Holy Spirit creates fire in the heart of the Christian. For all that is going on in your world, Jude begins his letter by revealing a Christ who made it possible for you to be the recipient of the mercy, peace, and love of a holy God. Jude then concludes his letter by reminding us that it is not by our power or might that salvation is possible, but on the Christ who keeps us: Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. (Jude 2425) [1] The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy; 1974. [2] https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/state-theology-2022 [3] John Piper.

The one thing that just about every cult or perversion of the Gospel has in common is a diminishing of Jesus divinity and humanity. Why attack Jesus in this way? Because to do so is to create a different Christ. We will spend time unpacking this point during this sermon series but let me leave you with something to ponder. If Jesus is not God, then for over 2,000 years Christians have been worshiping a false God. How so? If God is not Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, then we worship a false god. Let me put it in another way: If you trade a Jesus who is fully divine (God) and fully human, then that means you reject God as a Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), which means that you have rejected the true God for another god. The nature of Jesus is critically important for Jude. According to Jude, God keeps those who are beloved in God the Father, for Jesus (v. 1), and it is Jesus who keeps those who are beloved in God to present us blameless before God (v. 24). If you get Jesus wrong, you will get the gospel wrong; this is why the false teachers who crept in unnoticed, attack the nature of Jesus and this is why doctrine matters. We live in a day and age when doctrine does not seem to matter among many who claim to be Christian. God has communicated his will through the instrument of human language. By doing so, He has chosen to use language and the rules of grammar to reveal his will, character, nature, redemptive plan, and everything else Holy Scripture addresses. Therefore, our view and understanding of all that the Bible teaches is subject to a reading of the Bible that takes a particular section of Scripture in its grammatical, theological, historical, cultural, and literary context. This is what is called a Biblical Hermeneutic and it is a system that the Holy Spirit honors to shape and guide the Christian. This is how our understanding of the various doctrines of our faith are formed and shaped. We live in a day and age when what or how one feels about God or His Word is the hermeneutic used to understand His Word. In other words, the doctrines of some who call themselves Christian are shaped by their feelings. According to a 2022 Ligonier Ministries State of Theology survey those who indicated that they strongly agreed with the following were considered evangelical: The Bible is the highest authority for what I believe. It is very important for me personally to encourage non-Christians to trust Jesus Christ as their Savior. Jesus Christs death on the cross is the only sacrifice that could remove the penalty of my sin. Only those who trust in Jesus Christ alone as their Savior receive Gods free gift of eternal salvation. What is shocking is a significant number of evangelicals surveyed profoundly misunderstood the nature and character of God: Almost three out of four (73 percent) agree with the claim that Jesus is the first and greatest being created by God. More than half (58 percent) believe that God accepts the worship of all religions, including Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. More than half (56 percent) agree that worshiping alone or with ones family is a valid replacement for regularly attending church. More than half (55 percent) believe the Holy Spirit is a force but is not a personal being. More than half (55 percent) agree that everyone sins a little, but most people are good by nature. More than half (53 percent) disagree with the claim that even the smallest sin deserves eternal damnation. More than one in three (46 percent) disagree that every Christian has an obligation to join a local church. Almost half (44 percent) say that Jesus was a great teacher, but he was not God. Almost one-third (29 percent) agreed with the statement that God learns and adapts to different circumstances, while only 43 percent disagreed.[2] What this survey reveals is that many Christians today do not understand or hold to, the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints (Jude 1:3). For these reasons and more is why I am convinced a sermon series in Jude is important. There is a lot going on in our world that is unsettling. There are great global sorrows we may face in this generation or maybe the next generation; the question I am haunted by is how am I as your pastor preparing you for such sorrows that are coming? John Piper wrote in his book, Spectacular Sins: Christians in the West are weakened by wimpy worldviews. And wimpy worldviews make wimpy Christians. God is weightless in our lives. He is not terrifyingly magnificent. His sovereignty is secondary (at best) to his sensitivity.[3] I believe Piper is right. I believe an expository sermon series on Jude, or any book for that matter, helps prepare us for both global sorrows and personal sorrows such as cancer, divorce, general suffering, etc. Here is what expository preaching does best: It shines the light of Gods word upon the mind in such a way that the Holy Spirit creates fire in the heart of the Christian. For all that is going on in your world, Jude begins his letter by revealing a Christ who made it possible for you to be the recipient of the mercy, peace, and love of a holy God. Jude then concludes his letter by reminding us that it is not by our power or might that salvation is possible, but on the Christ who keeps us: Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. (Jude 2425) [1] The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy; 1974. [2] https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/state-theology-2022 [3] John Piper.

In this episode, we analyze the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, a document drafted in 1978 and signed by over 200 evangelical scholars and church leaders. The Chicago Statement articulates the formal evangelical understanding of the doctrine of inerrancy, which states that the Bible is without error in everything that it affirms, including modern conceptions of history and science. I argue that the doctrine of inerrancy as outlined by the Chicago Statement undermines both the authority of scripture and our ability to interpret the Bible historically. We will go line-by-line through the text and explore both the strengths and inconsistencies of this historical doctrinal summary. I will ultimately argue that the categories of authority, reliability, and inspiration are superior to inerrancy and allow us to faithfully interpret the Bible in its historical context without imposing upon it our modern intellectual ideas and categories.   Media Referenced:The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrency: https://www.etsjets.org/files/documents/Chicago_Statement.pdfThe Chicago Statement Wikipedia Page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Statement_on_Biblical_InerrancyThe Scandal of the Evangelical Mind, Mark Noll:  https://a.co/d/9jYqzgoDeserting the King, David Beldman: https://a.co/d/i87rl02Jesus Remembered, James Dunn: https://a.co/d/3bIc5PxMy Episode on Biblical Interpretation: https://theprotestantlibertarianpodcast.buzzsprout.com/1978104/10705266Timothy Price on Biblical Inerrancy: https://theprotestantlibertarianpodcast.buzzsprout.com/1978104/11181723Conversation on Biblical Anarchy Podcast, Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXjzzEoegXA&t=1082sDaniel 3 Podcast, Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/nl/podcast/daniel-3-ep-92-protestantism-and-inerrancy-w/id1575925285?i=1000596725706Daniel 3 Podcast, Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3qxdj7JzZzsWdcKf19nJpQ?si=SJgHiIMBQEacTQQwC2OGXw The Protestant Libertarian Podcast is a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute and a part of the Christians For Liberty Network.

For evangelical Christians, it's no secret that the Bible is at the center of just about everything we do. We believe it is God-breathed, inspired, and that it is the measuring rod by which we evaluate all moral and spiritual claims.  But is it inerrant?  As follow up questions go, this feels like an easy "yes." Nevertheless, biblical inerrancy has long been a feature of debate among Bible-believing Christians. Not because some Christians are arguing that the Bible contains errors, but because of the interpretive assumptions often bound up in the term "biblical inerrancy." In this episode, we explore the history surrounding the discussion of biblical inerrancy, the famous Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, and whether this particular framework is the best way to understand the message and authority of Scripture.  READ FULL SHOW NOTES HERE Visit kainosproject.com to find other resources to help you tackle ancient truths in everyday settings, and be sure to subscribe to our email list to get all of our fresh content delivered straight to your inbox.Subscribe on Apple PodcastsFollow on Spotify Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

In Episode 148, we talk about the doctrine of inerrancy. When it comes to matters of faith and practice, the truth does matter, making the teaching of biblical inerrancy crucial. This question is essential to our grasp of the Bible because it reflects who God is.The Bible's "inerrancy" is a word. Inerrancy is a biblical reality, yet it's a theological phrase. Several theological terminologies used by Christians for millennia are not in Scripture. For instance, "Trinity." Trinity is not a scriptural phrase, yet it summarizes the Bible's view of God. In the same way, inerrancy describes the Bible's perfection.Tune in now, and let's go bigger, better, and deeper!

Have you ever heard of The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy? In lesson 4 of this series ("A High View of Scripture"), we introduced the word 'inerrancy' and briefly discussed its meaning. In this episode, Clint and Shahe spend more time talking about whether or not Christians should use documents like The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy to help define important and difficult terms.

Does it matter who wrote the Bible? Does it matter who the Bible was written to? Someone's background, education, and life experiences change the way we perceive what they say. Who we are, what we believe, or where we live all determines how we receive new information and how we may feel about it. When studying Scripture, knowing the author & audience of a particular book or chapter helps us gain insight into what they are saying.

Sometimes it's appropriate to carefully weigh all sides of an issue, patiently sorting through reasons, listening to perspectives, and respectfully dialoging with people who believe differently. We spend most of our time on this podcast trying to commend and practice that sort of thing. On the other hand, sometimes ideas are just bad, and it's appropriate to say when something is dumb or harmful and move on. As Qohelet of Ecclesiastes might say, there's a time for argument, and a time for derision. You're gonna get a little more of the second thing in this episode.We tackle the doctrine of biblical inerrancy, the 20th century invention of white American evangelical men, which holds that the Bible is without error in the original manuscripts. We discuss where the view comes from, what seems to motivate it, the most prominent version of it accepted by contemporary evangelicals (the "Chicago Statement"), the influence it's had, and why we think it's hopelessly misguided. Towards the end we also discuss the similarities between inerrancy and originalism about the American constitution. Just to make sure we piss off as many people as possible.Some of the resources mentioned or discussed in the conversation are:The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy"How the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy became a litmus test"Five Views on Biblical InerrancyPete Enns on his panel discussion on inerrancy at the 2013 ETS meetingThe beverage featured in the episode is Laphroaig 10 Year Scotch.The beverage tasting is at 2:26.

Today Phil and Susie will be talking about the claim that the Bible is inerrant, and how we can use the Bible itself to disprove that claim.  We are gonna split this up into a 2 part episode because there's so much to cover so we want to be able to really dig into this topic because it's a fun one! Today's episode will focus on what inerrancy is, a little history of how we got the modern day Bible, especially the NT,  look into some various types of contradictions that are rampant throughout the text and then what a failure of inerrancy would really mean for Christianity.

In 1978, a battle raged around the world as to whether the Bible was inerrant meaning without error. This prompted an international summit, in which 300 leading evangelicals gathered and created the “Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy.” What is the doctrine of inerrancy and why is it so important for Christians to understand and defend? Listen as Pat and Dr. Doug Potter explain the inerrancy of the Bible and its importance.

Meet the Chicago Statementon Biblical HermeneuticsMany Christians today claim to believe that the Bible is supreme, only to hear their pastors or themselves interpret the Bible in ways that defy every biblical interpretation rule.So today, we dedicate our episode to better biblical understanding. We look at a very important document called the “Chicago Statement on Biblical Hermeneutics,” a doctrinal statement produced in 1982 aimed to improve our biblical interpretation.The Statement, which was hammered out by some of the biggest scholars in Christianity, is made of 15 articles. I originally planned to touch on four articles but since I got some extra time, I decided to do a fifth one.After this episode, you should be able to come away with a clear framework for how to interpret the Bible, one that has been agreed to and signed on by some of the best scholars in biblical and evangelical Christianity so tune in now and let's go bigger, better, and deeper !If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe to the Godstuff podcast so you're always first to know when a new episode is released.Episode Highlights:Introduction [0:00]Who is the “Chicago Statement”?
