I admit I didn't read all of this, read most though. I thought I'd offer my two cents on this subject, hopefully I won't be accused of heresy this...
The Word of God is Jesus not the bible - the bible is a collection of writings 'God breathed' i.e. inspired by God but not the same as the Word of...
The Word of God and the Bible are related but are also obviously seperate things, so none of these quotes support your position unless you can...
If any of you can find a passage that uneqivocally states that the Bible is inerrant or perfect or infallible, I will accept that the bible as...
I'm sure we would agree on almost all essential theological points. I think Jesus rose from the dead after three days I believe in that it is...
Fair point. I just don't like the word inerrant. I would rather inspired, true, authoritative or historical. It is just that there are some...
That is a reasonable argument
Thanks for your comment lowly, I have to disagree with you though on this one. They are two different accounts of the same event. There was...
If the bible is never wrong (which as you know is what inerrant means), please then explain this inconsistence to me so that I can understand:...

I should have reworded my original thread, my argument is the argument Phillip made - he understood what I was trying to say. I refer you to his...
the word ""inerrancy" or "inerrant" doesn't even appear in Scripture. I'm not saying the bible isn't true or isn't historical, you misunderstand...
Sorry if I caused offence. I didn't say or mean to imply that all conservatives are uneducated, I was speaking generally for my personal...
Lowly Layman, I believe we more or less agree and are just talking past each other. Phillip articulated my view perfectly, if there has been...
Good counterexample Layman. I agree the bible is fairly clear that there is a place of torment, it isn't clear whether it is eternal or simply...
That is exactly my concern.
Interesting thoughts! So do you think it is possible for Catholicism and Anglicanism to ever unite? Personally, I don't think so given that...
I've found that liberal anglicans are often more educated and insightful than their more conservative counterparts. Although conservative...
Hi Phillip, Thank you for that response, you summarised my view a lot more effectively and articulately than I did. You are correct, it is the...
