I agree that using the Bible to prove it's validity is a circular argument. That is not what I mean. The inerrancy of the Bible refers to evidences that support it's validity outside of the document itself (historical data, original manuscripts, etc.) as well as traits within the text. I can name several books, studies, and websites that exand on this if you are interested in learning more.
Partly, it is like verifying the facts of a newspaper article that was written thousands of years ago. Of course, like everything else, in the end you have to decide whether there is enough evidence to support what is written.
