Strictly speaking the Bible cannot declare itself infallible. Because the Bible is a collection of works assembled well after they were all written. So there is no way that the Bible could talk about itself as a whole.

Re: Logic

I am afraid that it is an important issue. Without something that identifies which books "belong" there is no way that you can find a statement that clearly speaks of the Bible as a whole within the Bible.

Re: Logic

The topic has to be refined a little. You can't simply look for one a single statement. What you could do is look for statements within each book about itself or about previously written books. It's not likely to add up to the whole Bible but at least it gets somewhere.

Re: The Bible authors didn't know they were the Bible authors!

So you're saying that the doctrine of inerrancy isn't Biblical ?
