The inspiration of Scripture is the supernatural operation of the Holy Spirit who, through the different personalities and literary styles of the chosen human authors, invested the very words of the original books of Holy Scripture, alone and in their entirety, as the very Word of God without error in all that they teach (including history and science) and is thereby the infallible rule and final authority for the faith and practice of all believers.–Dr. Norman Geisler, Systematic Theology, Volume I

Note: When Dr. Geisler says the Bible is without error in regard to history and science, he is not suggesting that we use the Bible as a history or science book per say, but rather that what the Bible mentions in regard to these subjects is without error.

The Bible in our hands is the infallible and inerrant Word of God insofar as it has been copied accurately. And it has been copied so accurately as to assure us that nothing in the essential message has been lost.–Dr. Norman Geisler, Systematic Theology, Volume I

So long as your mind entertains any misgivings as to the certainty of the word of God, its authority will be weak and dubious, or rather will have no authority at all. [Further,] nor is it sufficient to believe that God is true, and cannot lie or deceive, unless you feel firmly persuaded that every word which proceeds from him is sacred, inviolable truth.–John Calvin in Geisler

If we are perplexed by any apparent contradiction in Scripture, it is not allowable to say, “The author of this book is mistaken”; but either the manuscript is faulty, or the translation is wrong, or you have not understood.–Augustine in Geisler
