Could Jesus Be in Error?

Some people claim that when Jesus came to earth, he limited his knowledge . . . and accommodated himself to what people believed at the time. In other words, they claim he made errors.

But if Jesus taught things that weren’t true—just because the people of his time believed them—he’d be lying to them. And God cannot lie. Lying is sinful . . . and Jesus never sinned. He came as the God-man, full of grace and truth. So, no: Jesus was never in error. We can trust everything he said.

And that doesn’t just mean we can trust the statements of Jesus in the Gospels. All of Scripture is God-breathed, so we should believe everything the Bible says.
