Inerrancy
It is a leap in logic to say that an author was “breathed into” by the Holy Spirit, to then say that everything that author wrote was 100 percent accurate, both scientifically and in accord with modern knowledge. Just like everything that God does on earth, Scripture is the work of both God and humanity. Since humanity is involved, this means that human culture, ideals, weaknesses and misconceptions were put into it.

hitting the "inaccurate" button. can God not make a perfect, -in the orig. autographs, -statement: or books and books of them? what's the matter/issue here?
ReplyDeleteGod and Mary made faultless/sinless Jesus.
God and the writers made the faultess, inerrant Bible.
I don't think you can claim that I am "inaccurate" unless you prove it otherwise. You can claim to have a different opinion, which I respect.
ReplyDeleteGod *could* have given us a faultless Bible. He *could* have given us a miniature elephant. However, in His wisdom, He chose not to. I respect that choice, even if it is not the one that I would have made.
The question I have is: Where is the evidence that the Bible is inerrant? The Bible doesn't claim that for itself, so why should we claim it for it?
More discussion on this to follow.
taking 2 ti 3:16 NOT to mean, -at least imply that scripture is perfect is... a serious stretch. why stretch? why go against plain logical implication?
ReplyDeletedepending on your personal reason, this might apply:

"Matt Slick: You presupposed that the Bible is not the inspired Word of God, in spite of its prophetic nature, in spite of the claim of Christ himself using it to authenticate his own Ministry. So, let me ask you this: do you believe that Jesus Christ is God in flesh, crucified, and risen from the dead?"
