According to Harold Lindsell, church history has repeatedly shown that groups who begin with questioning the validity of minor details of Scripture eventually question major doctrines as well. The pattern repeated is that acceptance of an errant Scripture in peripheral matters has soon been followed by the allegation that Scripture is errant in more central teachings as well.<ref name="Lindsell">{{cite book |title=The Battle for the Bible |author=Harold Lindsell |chapter= |pages=141-160 |publisher=Zondervan Publishing House |year=1976 |isbn=9780310276814 |url=https://www.google.sk/books/edition/The_Battle_for_the_Bible/-bnYAAAAMAAJ}}</ref>

==Liberal Christianity and Biblical Inerrancy==

==Liberal Christianity and Biblical inerrancy==

In general, [[Liberal Christianity|liberal Christians]] tend to reject Biblical inerrancy in all forms, since certain passages<ref>http://bible.cc/leviticus/18-22.htm</ref> clash with their liberal ideology regarding things like [[homosexuality]] and the [[Women#New Testament statements on the role of women|role of women]]. One problem which is seen with this view is that by rejecting the Bible or passages therein as inspired, due to their being contrary to a desired meaning or practice, then the authority of the Bible document itself loses its authority or relevance as a guide to morality and [[Christian]] behavior. It is reasoned that the Bible cannot be held as sacred if one arbitrarily decides that some of it isn't. Nor could someone who does not take the Bible seriously as God's preserved word [[hypocrisy|call on others to do so]].
