[quote:Anonymous Coward 10858311:MV8yMDEzNTc5XzMzODM3Mzk3Xzk0MTM5MEQ3] Individuals may find the Bible a more difficult book to read than many, one requiring greater effort and concentration; they may find much they do not understand. Some critical persons may insist that, to be perfect, the Bible should be free of even superficial differences or what appear, according to their standards, to be inconsistencies. None of these things, however, detract from the perfection of the Sacred Scriptures. For the real gauge of its perfection is its measuring up to the standards of excellence set by Jehovah God, its accomplishing the end or purpose that he, as its true Author, appointed for it, as well as its being free from falsehood, as the published Word of the God of truth. The apostle Paul points up the perfection of “the holy writings” in saying: “All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.” (2Ti 3:15-17) What the Hebrew Scriptures did for the nation of Israel when they observed them, what the completed Scriptures did for the Christian congregation in the first century, and what the Bible can do for persons in the present, is convincing proof of its qualities as an ideal instrument of God to accomplish his purpose. 1Corinthians 1:18 "For the speech about the torture stake is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is God’s power.

Man fundamental Christians believe the Bible to be infallible but I do not adhere to this I believe that it has manipulated by man for centuries but also contain many truths
Can any book ever be infallible it is almost impossible because it would have to be perfect in every sense.
and if it is perfect what is perfect
