For there is not a just man upon the earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not. (Ecclesiastes 7:20)

In order to write a chapter on this subject, it is necessary to first define the terms. According to Webster’s New World Dictionary, 1984–

Fallible: (a) liable to be mistaken or deceived;

(b) liable to be erroneous or inaccurate.

The first definition refers to people, and the second to information or concepts.

Infallible:incapable of error; never wrong; reliable; sure; incapable of          error in setting forth doctrine on faith and morals.

There can be little doubt that certain principles are infallible, eternal and everlastingly true; but when it comes to mankind, there has been only One “infallible” person.
