Good question... It is surprising how many people believe that the KJV translation, for example, is infallible.

The doctrine of inspiration applies to the original textual autographs of Scripture in the original languages. Translations are not infallible.

Does inspiration equal infallibility? And if so where is this inspiration equals infallibility doctrine found?

i think the issue of biblical inerrancy is what divides conservative christianity from liberal christianity. the bible says all scripture is inspired but man has added infallible. good point. that is why i voted with the second option. i think infallibilty makes the bible an idol instead of god.

Especially when the KJV itself, in the original 1690 edition, plainly stated that it could not be infallible, and that fuller meaning could always be derived from a more complete study of manuscripts, in its preface...
