Bible Note: 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 |
