EdB, Thank you for your comments. I am sorry that we can't agree on this; I have already asked to move on and make peace here, but if you want to bring up a new subject of inspiration of the bible, then I will gladly discuss it. I think that you are taking this stuff way too personal, man. You gotta chill a little and not get so worked up about this. I am not asking you to change... why are you so upset about this? IF you want to know exactly what I believe, here it is: I believe that the bible is the word of God. I do not believe in verb./plen inspiration. I do believe in the humanity and divinity of Jesus. I do not believe in the inerrancy of the bible. I do believe in approaching the bible honestly, I do not believe in the Jesus project or demythologizing of the text. I do not believe that I have anything close to a heretical view. I do believe that the original autographs of the bible were verb./plen./inerr/ inspired. I am not asking you to agree with me. I just don't want to give you any more surprises and be labeled as a heretic. If you ever happen to have the desire to investigate instead of discard my views, I would be happy to give you some additional information. However, since you don't really seem to find any logical conclusions in my beliefs, it might not be worth the effort. Take care, brother- ischus |

Ischus: Of a truth I got the distinct feeling from reading your response to EdB that you may have written it in haste and with some little animus toward EdB, both of which possibly were contributory to what comes over to me as your words having a tendency to stumble over one another. Your post, in other words, appears to lack a measure of clarity and seems to be slightly contradictory of itself regarding your stand on the inspiration of Scripture. To be specific, in one sentence in your post you say that you believe the Bible is the word of God. In another you say that you do not believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of the Bible. In still another sentence in the same post you say that you do believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of the original autographs. [Of course, no autographs of Scripture are known to be extant, so where does that leave you in regard to how reliable and true you assess the Bible to be?] ..... I think I may have some idea of your meaning, but I'd rather you, not I, explain and expand on it in order to make it less recondite. Would you be kind enough to do that for us? ..... A personal P.S. -- I love words and idioms. When I was your age "to chill a little" was something you did when you had a bug and ran a fever! My, can I ever keep abreast of the changes in our beloved English tongue :-) --Hank | ||||||
