That's what the resurrection is all about. Jesus is risen from the dead.
Yes, that's the myth. A lot of people still believe it, as you do. I do not. I examine the history and contradictions of the book because when I was little I was told that it was infallible. I like collecting information. I don't particularly care what anyone thinks of the book -- unless they are rude enough to insist that I should believe the stories in it.
The Bible is not infallible because it cannot be prevented from teaching error. It simply says what it says.
People can be prevented from teaching error. Therefore, people can be infallible. Books are inerrant.
But that's probably splitting hairs.
Now, the Bible contains books that were written as history, allegory, poetry, etc. All sorts of literary styles.
What caused you to stop thinking the Bible is either inerrant or "infallible"?
