Is there anywhere in the Bible where it claims it's own inerrancy? I know, for
example, that RC Pope has declared himself to be infallible wrt matters of faith
and morals. But, I have never heard of any clear cut claim of inerrancy
specifically made in the Bible. All that seems to be based upon inference and
"logic".
