“Is the Bible authoritative?”

Today, incredible pressure is being placed on universities and seminaries to reevaluate the origin and inerrancy of Scripture. Numerous articles and books are written with the goal of undermining the authority of the written Word. In this video, Jono Hall, Allen Hood, and Stephen Venable discuss the paramount question, “Is the Bible authoritative?”

What do we mean by “inerrancy”?

When we say that the Bible is inerrant, we mean that the manuscripts canonized in the Bible in their original form were inspired; the Holy Spirit breathed life on those words. Therefore, the Bible is trustworthy, reliable,  and without error.

Why is this important?

Once you undermine the authority of Scripture, you become vulnerable to any wind of teaching. If the Bible is a human document, nothing more than a history of man’s attempts to understand God, it will always be constrained to this culture. It can be shaped and interpreted to fit current post-modern thought. If it is a divine book, which it is, it will speak to any generation, any culture, and any human individual.

In this video Allen Hood and Stephen Venable share from their personal experience about the Bible as the final authority for how we are to live.
