According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, Inerrancy means to be exempt from error. This would suggest that God is infallible and absolute. Simply meaning that God being completely perfect in his nature is not capable of making mistakes or being proven wrong. I would argue that since God being perfect and without defect would also result in his word being without any error.
The term “Biblical Inerrancy” was conceived and coined back in 1978 at an International Summit Conference led by evangelical leaders and scholars.

The reason why that would be foolish is because the cost of following Jesus Christ of Nazarene is an ongoing active choice to be and do like him. Nowhere in scripture does Jesus contradict the Old Testament and the New Testament. He does, however, announce the shortcomings of the scripture found in his current day and age. Scripture is fulfilled in Christ Jesus and he is the supplier throughout the majority of the New Testament. The apostles were inspired by Jesus Christ and all of the miracles he accomplished, his intelligent speech and also his magnificent power. Christ also never questions the historicity of scripture, even when pertaining to the Old Testament. It has always been very challenging for mankind to discuss the Old Testament and all the events that occurred simply because a large amount of those events are very disturbing and controversial.

Another common denial is the accommodation theory. This one is also very popular in today 's age because people often tend to adjust and adapt scripture to their own liking. They examine scripture and take it apart to their own pleasing. These two denials can easily be dismissed and discredited because Christ did not distinguish fable from the fact (he would have if they were fable) and he also saw scripture as the final and absolute authority.
