Does anyone have one reason that supports infallibilty?

Necro post yeah!

Where did you get the idea of biblical infallibility?

To me the Bible is inerrant. That is, I've yet to see this proven otherwise.

Infallible, well that sounds like an Islamic claim.

Do you have links where you've raised this with Christians?

Yes - certain things are reality - and when speaking about them - you are infallible

Example - everyone who says "All humans eventually die" speaks infallibly in that sentence

[ThomM]

Sure -= when YOU are making up a fictional story - you own it - and you can say anything YOU want to in it.

Of the Bible... The spelling error has already been corrected, look up ^.

I've heard boths sides of the debate and it seems like nobody sees what I see. I thought maybe an atheist would have a different take on it but it seems like the same-ole, same-ole. Neither side has actually read the Bible I think...

What do you think you see here?

The Bible is now read by people all over the world in literally dozens and dozens of languages and hundreds of different translations. Many of these translations differ in their interpretations of certain texts, and disagree about what should and should not be included.

If the Bible truly were a work inspired by god's holy spirit, it's hard to imagine him allowing it to become corrupted.

The Bible has been altered because it is the invention of man, and so is god. As an invention of man's imagination, god is to different men different things. To some men he is a triune god, to others he is one god with a completely separate son. To some god controls all things as he wills, to others he only controls the greater outcome while allowing free will. And so on and so forth.

As the Bible has been writen, re-writen, translated, edited, etc., etc., it has taken on the idenity of the people taking it through those processes and the age and values of those particular times.

However, the Bible is so outdated now, and technology has advanced so much, that it has become practically impossible to subject the Bible to anymore significant changes in an attempt to keep up with scientific and archaeological discovery.

The Catholic Church used to simply change something or add something if it became a problem, but now any such changes would be subject to comparative analysis, and only further destroy the credibility of the Christian claims.

Again, if the book were truly of divine inspiration, it likely would have been protected by divine influence. Otherwise, why would god inspire the writing in the first place?

Ye when I was Pope I found infallibility very useful . You'd ask someone to do something that seemed inconsistent with the teachings, the "trust me, I'm the Pope" line always worked.
