Inspiration and Innerancy origins?
Where do the concepts of inspiration of the Bible and inerrancy of the Bible come from. And do they apply to both OT and NT?

Revelation warns against adding or taking away from that book. There is an epistle that warns about adding to the word too I believe. Jeremiah 8 laments about the lying pen of the scribes turning the law into a lie.
History shows there is great variance between biblical manuscripts. My favorite example is Esther. Our copy of Esther is only about half the length in content we find other ancient copies of Esther that goes into detail what God was doing behind the scenes.
Jeremiah and Ezekiel can vary up to about an eight in content and verses all copies seem to have are often worded different or changed completely.
The thing is you have no way of knowing what was supposed to be there or what is supposedly true or not. Believing scholars can't prove what is legitimate because they themselves disagree over variant texts. The unbelieving ones are more honest and admit you can't really know.
