Inerrancy of scripture, can you convince a christian it is inerrant

[Jerome]

Is inerrancy really the most important word about Scripture?

Why can't we just take the Bible as being both a divine and human book?
As being 'truthful', even 'authoritative'?

Why use inerrant, infallible? Those are real 'red flag' terms.

Then it is a matter of degrees of inerrancy and infallibility, you have opened the door, playing the part of the devil's advocate, did God really say that you would die?

Then we have Jesus telling us this,
John 10:34-36 New King James Version (NKJV)
34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods” ’? 35 If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken), 36 do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?

People are going to think and believe whatever they will. At the judgement seat of Christ, you will find out what happens to them.
Personally I am very interested to see what will happen as God will not be mocked, and men will reap what they sow and give account to God for every idle (worthless) word they have spoken.

Like speaking, 'great swelling words of emptiness'.

Well, that's Albert Mohler for you. That's what he and fellow Southern Baptist academic (both now with Calvinist fraternity The Gospel Coalition) David Dockery were saying before Mohler was elected to lead Southern Seminary!

Albert Mohler Jr., editor of the Christian Index, newsjournal for Georgia Baptists described inerrancy as 'an important issue' but it 'isn’t the most important word about Scripture'

"Southern Baptists must understand the Bible is truthful, authoritative and is both a divine and human book", said Dockery.

"inerrant and infallible...[are] red flag terms…I would prefer that we talk about the Scripture as truthful, reliable and authoritative"

I wonder if Jesus was walking around in the flesh today speaking about the kingdom of God, how many 'christians' would not agree with Him.
