I was an inerrantist... until I decided to read the Bible for myself at age 18. And then I became an atheist.

2 Timothy 3:16
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness
OK, I'm ready for your gymnastics. Let's see what you got.
Indeed... Where does it say the breath of God is also inerrant? I can point to passages to where God is with out error, but I have never seen anything that says The bible is with out error. Look at your passage. Does it say that all scripture is with out error? No it says all scripture is directed by God and is good for teaching rebuking and correct training.. meaning it is by the bible we are judge whether it is without error or not...
That is what the message in 2 Timmy says. Not that the bible is God or like God in that it is with out error.
If Paul wanted to say the bible is without error as God is without error he would have said so. Rather he just puts the authority of God behind the words of all scripture to tell us it is by these words we are judged...
No dancing just rehashing what is actually on page rather than what religion implicates.
Riddle me this sport.. what do we gain by repersenting the bible in a way the bible does not repersent itself? When in truth what God said in 2 tim was stronger than a message of infaliblity. In that Paul is saying I Don't care what you think the bible says it is all valid inorder to become a christian, and it is by this book that you will be judged.
The way Paul states it it does not matter if all the i s are dotted and ts crossed, this book is the holy standard.

It seems that a self-professed believer just called the Bible a bunch of lies.
2 Timothy 3:16 (CEV) = "Everything in the Scriptures is God’s Word. All of it is useful for teaching and helping people and for correcting them and showing them how to live."
