And so far as I can tell, with advancements in understanding ancient languages (because we are able to factor in more and more ancient texts -- and therefore their meanings -- into ancient lexicons), and with advancements in our historical understandings of biblical cultures and their environments, we are gaining a better and better understanding of what Scripture was, and is saying. <br /><br />My life changed dramatically when I started reading Scripture commentaries (especially from writers who hold that the Scriptures are the word of the living God). They represent the collected wisdom of the ages, and something as close to "infallible" as we can get in this fallen world.
