I am aware that that sort of inerrancy applies to the original authographs, I am not sure how the Bible in the current state is seen as. Absolutely inerrant in every sense, or some sense? If in every sense, how can such a claim hold water as there are discrepancies in the Biblical accounts (eg. 2 Samuel 24:9 and 1 Chronicles 21:5.), not to mention variant readings (eg. Mark 1:1) all of which cannot be correct at the same time (eg. the number of the beast cannot be 616 and 666).<br /><br />If my memory serves me well, the Catholic church has redefined inerrancy as being restricted to faith and morals. Some others I have heard redefine it to imply the Bible is inerrant in what it wants to convey about God's dictum to us, and the like.<br /><br />But you are right - the recent tendency to be open to abandoning inerrancy in toto is probably self-defeating in the long run. It is capitulating to the naturalistic world-view in the hopes of winning souls on atheistic (or ungodly?) grounds.James McCloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02155211190204661934noreply@blogger.com
