The Bible is God’s word. That means that it has no mistakes and it’s all useful and true. However, there are some Bibles (often called Study Bibles) that come with study notes in them. Those notes might be in the actual book that you call your Bible, but they are not Scripture. Those are Man’s words, not God’s words. The people who make study notes for Bibles are usually very careful about not making mistakes, but they are just human, and humans make mistakes. It’s not that study notes are bad, but we need to be careful that we recognize that though they may be in a Bible, they are not the Bible. We need to be careful not to add to God’s words.
