Distinguishing Infallibility and Inerrancy

Infallibility and inerrancy are two terms often used to express a high view of Scripture, though they are not synonymous. Inerrancy suggests that the text contains no errors, while infallibility implies a level of reliability regarding certain aspects of the Scripture. While linguistically infallible may seem stronger, theological perspectives often regard inerrancy as the more robust term because it asserts overall accuracy on all matters presented. This distinction helps clarify misunderstandings surrounding Biblical authority and the interplay of faith and interpretation.
