Includes this line.
Quote:16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
But, perhaps you'd prefer Martin Luther? A protestant of some note.
Quote:Luther's straightforward belief in Scripture's inerrancy cannot be downplayed as representing only his "callow youth" or - mutatis mutandis - his "senile old age." From his commentaries on the Psalms of 1513-1516, written before the posting of the Ninety-Five Theses ("All the words of God are weighed, counted, and measured") 24 to his final major attack on the papacy in 1545, the year before his death ("Let the man who would hear God speak read Holy Scripture" ), 25 the Reformer's attitude to Scripture remains categorical. He embraces the bibliology of the historic church: "St. Augustine, in a letter to St. Jerome, has put down a fine axiom - that only Holy Scripture is to be considered inerrant."
I can't believe you would resort to an appeal to authority...
So you take that verse as claiming infallibility then?
If yes, then does a math book with a mutiple-choice test section mean that it is not "...useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in.." math? As it has incorrect answers in the choices...
Innerancy is an idiotic stance as there are verses that directly refute that possibility.
