#STRaskStand to Reason
Questions about whether it’s a bad sign when a church’s statement of faith says they believe the Bible is inerrant “in the original manuscripts,” how the Gospel of Mark can be inerrant if someone else added 16:9–20, and whether the Gospels were meant to be complementary.
* Is it a red flag when a church’s statement of faith says they believe the Bible is inerrant “in the original manuscripts”?
* How can we say the Gospel of Mark is the inerrant Word of God if someone added 16:9–20 into it?
* Were the Gospels meant to be complementary? Did the writers intend for us to harmonize them?
