I know the younger generations think I am a large and heavy stick, stuck in age old mud, so dry that it will soon turn to rock but I agree!

It shouldn't even be a question.
I just wish people would stop stopping at the comma, or disregarding things before the comma, or turning written words into other words(grape juice anyone?). I think it is this kinda stuff that makes us ask.

I agree it's God's word, but...
I also hold on the hopes that it is not God's final word. That God still speaks to people today as He did in times past to the prophets of Israel. To confirm anything new though, I hold the bible (God's written word) as the standard for anything new that is thought to come from God. Test the spirits sort of thing I guess.

Paul penned
Gal 5:2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
I am of the understanding when Paul penned this it was not in 'chapter and verse' but what we might call a over run paragraph... What part of Galatians is Paul and what part is God's Word...
Here Paul wrote this Phm 1:19 I Paul have written it with mine own hand, do we discount this as not God's Word..
To be clear i believe
We believe that the Bible is inspired by God in its entirety, and is without error in the original autographs, a complete and final written revelation from God.

That's excellent! Makes perfect sense. I never took that to mean that what Paul said there was uninspired, but I struggled to make sense of it. Thank you!

I'd say without error in its spiritual truths. HS inspired.
Following the lead of the op here is the context of Galatians 5:2.
Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law. You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love. Galatians 5:1-6.
- You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law;
Estranged - Seperated, disconnected, severed, removed,
You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. Galatians 5:4 NASB
Very sober words.

There are over 400,000 textual variants in the manuscripts. But these errors are spelling, copy errors, and interpretation errors. The Bible is inerrant in communicating the message/messages God intended. All challenges to the contrary have held up under closer scrutiny.

I believe it. Otherwise we believe some and make up the rest, thus, denominations and religious conflicts.

I agree. To think that God would give his word in such a way that the message/meaning would be lost to nothing more than changing languages is discounting His omniscience.
