Eloquent arguments aside, the prevailing wisdom within Christendom regarding the inerrancy of the Scripture is meaningless because leading theologians only apply the doctrine to the originals which no longer exist. The Bible teaches that God has promised to preserve the inerrant words of his inspiration through a multiplicity to accurate copies that are just as authoritative as the originals. A side by side examination of modern versions with the King James text reveals startling differences that impact the major doctrines of the faith. These differences cannot be attributed to differences in how words are translated out of Greek and Hebrew into English. Rather the underlying manuscripts used by the translators are different thereby resulting in different readings. Logic dictates that when two things are different they cannot be the same thus making it impossible for divergent translations to both be the Word of God. Rather than contravening reason, the King James position is consistent in its application of the doctrine of inerrancy. God did not go through all the trouble to perfectly inspire his word only to have it disappear with the originals.
Skeptics and critics such as Dan Brown and others like him have been part of the Satanic “hath God said society” for centuries. Despite their best efforts, the Bible remains preserved and inerrant in the King James Bible for English-speaking people. It is unfortunate that potential allies in the Evangelical scholar’s union leave the Bible susceptible to skeptical attack by clinging to their unscriptural and incomplete notion of inerrancy.
