Okay, friends, thank you for joining me today.

0:32.1

I'm reflecting a little bit on some of the responses that I received from my more recent, was it last week's

0:40.9

podcast where I talked about the difference between infallibility and inerrancy.

0:46.9

And, you know, I'm scratching my head at some of these responses.

0:49.6

I have them in front of me.

0:50.7

I'm not going to just necessarily read them, but it's clear to me that there's

0:55.5

been some misunderstanding, okay? So let me repeat what I said last week with the hope of clearing up

1:07.9

any confusion. What I mentioned last week was that given these words

1:15.5

that are applied, are used to describe scripture as a high view of scripture. A low view

1:24.9

is its man's writings, and that's it. A high view entails God's involvement

1:32.1

with it in some significant way. And I said, given that, there are two words that are used to

1:37.8

describe it and are distinguished from each other, and those words are infallibility and inerrancy. Now, I made the

1:48.5

point that many people use those words interchangeably, and I have no trouble with that, because they

1:57.1

generally mean the same thing when they use them, and what they mean is a very high view of Scripture, what I would call now inerrancy.

2:07.6

But when you think about those words, infallible and inerrant, you think about the linguistics of it, those aren't exactly the same. And it does seem like infallible

2:20.8

would be the stronger word than inerrant. If we say that something is inerrant, then we mean

2:28.0

it has no errors. And I mean, I've done lots of things that didn't have any errors, okay, of one sort or another,

2:36.7

depending on the frame of reference you have.

2:39.9

But to say something is infallible, or maybe someone or some text, means it's not capable of errors.

2:47.4

So it might be inerrant because it's not capable.

2:50.4

So on a linguistic basis,
