"FAITH:" Putting trust in something, in the general direction that the evidence points, without having scientific or observable evidence for it.
"MURDER:" The intentional act of a human killing a human, not being in self-defense, protection of other innocent life, or in war.
"GOD:" Someone or some thing which existed prior to the Big Bang, caused it, and is the Source of morality, logic, rational thought, math, justice, and love. I personally believe this God to be Yahweh/Jehovah/Allah, the God of Abraham and the Father of Jesus Christ.
"BIBLE:" The holy, inspired message of God, contained inside the 66 Books of the Old and New Testaments, as well as the Apocrypha. The best translation is the one which you actually use. With that said, the King James Version contains some definite errors, spurious passages, and outdated language.
"INSPIRED:" This is a doctrine I believe in. Inspiration means that everything God wanted in the Bible, He made sure the human writers put in the Bible, and everything in the Bible is there for a reason and is beneficial in some way.
"INFALLIBLE:" This is a doctrine I believe in. The main messages of salvation and prophecies contained throughout the Bible about Jesus Christ are infallible, which means that the overall message is without error, even though perhaps some minor historical / non-essential details may be inaccurate.
"INERRANCY:" This is a doctrine I do not believe in, but many Christians do. It claims that the Bible is absolutely 100% without any error, not even in the smallest details, and there are zero contradictions-- if the Bible contains one error, it is not from God, and you have disproved the entire Bible. Usually, however, most Christians will admit that ONLY the original manuscripts (which no longer exist) were infallible.
"JESUS:" The Only-Begotten Son of God, the risen Lord of the universe, our Savior, who sits at the right hand of God in heaven, as King, Mediator, and High Priest.
