Is The Bible Infallible?

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: (II Timothy 3:16)

And surely THE "Word of God" is much much bigger then what we see in the printed Word. And "In the Beginning" what language did God speak and how could any human dialect possibly convey it?

Perhaps in absolute terms the "Word" and His "Will" are one and the same and what we know of as the Bible is something altogether separate?

I quote this, agreeing largely with subsequent points made by Nitehawk and Aquila, and you as well, I think, here. While they should not disagree with a proper interpretation of the Bible, other manifestations of the Word exist for verification of it; indeed, the Bible even alludes to its becoming a relic, while at the same time "these words shall never entirely pass away."
