No book handled by human translators and scribes over a 2,000 year time frame is inerrant.
However, the Bible is a very good revelation of God to those whose heart is turned to God and seeks after God. To those whose hearts are carnal and turned to ever thing wicked and evil, it is not a revelation of God, but a stubblingstone, and a rock of offence.
To hide a matter is divine, to search it out is human.

Because human effort can't be perfect? The translators will get something wrong. The scribes won't copy exactly. The original writers won't get it exactly as God wants them to. Oh, wait. Maybe that human effort was perfect?

Yes, Timmy, God is discoverable in the scriptures! But you first must believe that HE IS!

If you reject that God is, you will not look for Him, therefore you will not find Him.
