The notes stay with the writer’s confession of inerrancy and with the verses and claims they record, and they stop before a later table of terms.

A 2017 volume, and a definition of inerrancy
The notes take up a 2017 Word of Life Press edition they cite under John MacArthur’s name, The Inerrant Word, in Korean as Answering the Challenges to Biblical Inerrancy. The writer speaks as someone studying theology and serving God, and begins with a confession: they believe in the inerrancy of Scripture.
Inerrancy, as they define it, means that the original text of the Bible has no error — a name for Scripture’s perfection. The doctrine, they write, comes from the Bible itself, and claims that the whole of Scripture was made by the inspiration of God. The Bible, in this reading, is full of revelation about truths that human strength could never detect. It is an unchanging revelation; and yet, they say, modernism has made a discussion of Scripture’s uncertainty and of unbelief.
Two verses the writer keeps
They keep two verses as support. Psalm 12:6 — “The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times” — shows, for them, the inerrancy of Scripture, the purity of a holy God, and an absolute completeness in which, after that refining, no lack can be found.
Proverbs 30:5 — “Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him” — is, for the writer, not only a word about God’s protection and about a love that lets us have that protection, and about God’s absolute sovereignty. It is also, they write, a word whose fulfillment believers can meet in practice.
A reply to doubt, and a stop
Because inerrancy, in their wording, sits at the level of observable fact, it is so arranged, they write, that it can stand against the attacks of unbelieving people. The question whether there is error in the Bible, they add, has in fact been asked inside the church since before the Enlightenment, and has continued there. The notes leave the subject there, before a later table of terms. The same Korean report, in a longer form, sits on CampusDown.

Frequently asked questions
How do the notes define biblical inerrancy?
The writer, speaking as someone studying theology and serving God, says they believe in the inerrancy of Scripture. Inerrancy, as they define it, means that the original text of the Bible has no error — a name for Scripture’s perfection. The doctrine, they add, comes from the Bible itself, and claims that the whole of Scripture was made by the inspiration of God.
Which verses do they keep as support?
They keep Psalm 12:6, “The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times,” as a verse that, for them, shows inerrancy and an absolute completeness in which no lack can be found. They also keep Proverbs 30:5, “Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him,” as a word about God’s protection and love, and about a sovereignty they say believers can also meet in practice.
How do they frame modern challenges to that claim?
Scripture, they write, is full of revelation about truths human strength could never detect, and is an unchanging revelation. Modernism, they say, has nonetheless made a discussion of Scripture’s uncertainty and of unbelief. Because inerrancy, in their wording, sits at the level of observable fact, it can stand against such attacks. They add that the question of error in the Bible has been asked inside the church since before the Enlightenment. The notes stop before a later table of terms.
