Excerpt from Inspiration and Inerrancy: Inaugural Address One has only to pay a little attention to con temporary utterances Of a representative cha racter to be satisfied that discussion of the Bible question, as we may briefly call it, however un desirable in some respects, is unavoidable. In the late General Assembly of the Free Church Of Scotland, one of the ablest, most scholarly, and most devout of the younger ministers Of that church, in a debate on Revision of the Confession of Faith, said Degrees The infallibility of the Scriptures is not a mere verbal in errancy or historical accuracy, but an in fallibility Of power to save. The Word of God infallibly carries God's power to save men's souls. If a man submit his heart and mind to the Spirit Of God speaking in it, he will infallibly become a new creature in Christ Jesus. That is the only kind Of infallibility I believe in. For a mere verbal inerrancy I care not one straw. It'is worth nothing to me; it would be worth nothing if it were there, and it is not.
