Pastor Charles Spurgeon (1834 - 1892) says:
"It is not possible for fallible men to write infallible books. Somehow or other, we either say more than is true, or less than is true; the most skillful writer does not always keep along that hair line of truth, which is more difficult to tread than a razor's edge. But Scripture never errs. Here is the bullion gold without a single particle of alloy."
Pastor Spurgeon is right. The Bible is the inerrant infallible Word of God. I love the Authorized King James Bible, and I hold that version to be superior to any other translation, including the New King James Version (see my post: Another Look at the Authorized King James Bible). But I reject those who claim that this version, or any other version, of the Bible, is inerrant.
The Bible is inerrant in the original manuscripts, which no longer exist. For atheists and other God haters, this is stumbling block. But for those who love our Lord Jesus, and bow with humility before their King, this is just one more thing they accept by faith. We are saved by believing in Jesus Christ, not by believing in a particular Bible translation.
The Bible Stands
"The Bible stands like a rock undaunted
'Mid the raging storms of time;
Its pages burn with the truth eternal,
And they glow with a light sublime.
"The Bible stands though the hills may tumble,
It will firmly stand when the earth shall crumble;
I will firmly stand on its firm foundation,
For the Bible stands."
Amen!
