Update: My understanding of the infallibility of the Bible has progressed since writing this 7 years ago. Please see my Translator's Preface to The Christ Family Bible.

But I have also found much evidence of the operation of the Competitive Principle, both in how the Bible teaches and how readers treat the Bible. That is, there are two directions of competition: the writer's competitiveness and the reader's competitiveness. The result of this competition we can see today: many readers "discover" huge amounts of fake evidence that the Bible is not infallible. They wanted to find it and did; they approached their reading of the Bible competitively rather than cooperatively. Similarly, Almighty God is described in the Bible as wanting that very same outcome (Proverbs 1:7; Matthew 13:10-15; Luke 8:9-10).
What is the Competitive Principle? See the articles at this website about it.
