All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness (2 Tim 3:16). How important is it to read your Bible on a regular basis? In 2009, the Center for Biblical Engagement issued a report that concluded that people who read the Bible at

Our upcoming National Conference will be on the Great Doctrines of the Bible. I will be speaking on the Bible (i.e., Bibliology). How important is the doctrine of the Bible to the rest of theology? More specifically, how important is the doctrine of Biblical inerrancy to the rest of systematic theology? Here’s a great quote

In the Dec 27, 2019, issue of Sword of the Lord, Dr. Shelton Smith says that the King James Version is inspired and inerrant. The title of his article is “Can You Tell Me about the King James Bible?” Under a heading entitled, “Is the King James Bible Inspired, Inerrant, and Infallible?” he answers, “Yes!

The Total Accuracy of the Gospel Accounts

November 25, 2019 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Historical accuracy of the Gospels, inerrancy, John 14:26

In the Fall 2019 issue of DTS Magazine, I was quite interested to see an article by Drs. Darrell Bock and Benjamin Simpson, entitled, “Minding the Gap: Orality, Memory, & the Gospels” (pp. 8-11). The gap alluded to in the title is the time between Jesus’ ministry and the writing of the Gospels, thirty years

Why GES Praised Dr. Norman Geisler

September 13, 2019 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Dr. Norman Geisler, Effective ministry, Free Grace Theology, inerrancy

Here is an email I received: Is there a reason why Dr. Norman Geisler is featured and lionized in the latest Grace in Focus Magazine? In my exchanges with him, he opposed GES soteriology. His website clearly articulates a repentance view. Lots more could be said. Perhaps I’m not understanding something here? While our ministry

When Errors in the Bible Are Not Really Errors

Today I read the June 2018 issue of JETS, Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society. ETS was started in 1949 to promote the truth that the Bible has no errors in it. I graduated from seminary in 1982. At that time there were two views regarding errors in the Bible: 1) there are no errors

Did God Really Say That?

And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? (Genesis 3:1) Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?

Are We Being Unfair to Blomberg on Inerrancy?

May 22, 2015 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - apologetics, bible, inerrancy

The battle for the Bible is far from over. In his book, Can We Still Believe the Bible?: An Evangelical Engagement with Contemporary Question, professor Craig L. Blomberg makes some extraordinary (and controversial) claims about what counts as believing in inerrancy, especially in chapters 5 and 6. Earlier this month, our Editor, Bob Wilkin, wrote
