1BIBLICAL INTRODUCTION
Introduction- “Bible has errors” this has been one of the most controversial topic since
time immemorial. Bible has been the centre point of discussion whenever a critic wanted to
throw up a new point to place a critic. But every critic requires a thorough research and perfect
moulding of the information that the Bible contained. Majority of the critics have questioned the
legitimacy and authenticity of Bible. However, the proponents of the truth never kept silent and
they came forward to prove the Bible does not have error (Koenig, Al Zaben and Khalifa 2012).

truth of Holy Trinity (The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit). It is important to mention that

references from Bible where it is said by Jesus that his word is truth (John 17:17); the book of
Psalms says that the sum of God’s word is truth (Pslams 119:160); Paul had said that let God be
true (Romans 3:4); the book of Titus says that “The God who cannot lie” (Titus 1:2); The book
of Hebrews says that it is impossible for to lie (Hebrews 6:18). Thus, it can be seen that the Bible
