God's Word is Perfect
March 29, 2011 at 9:40 pm
It is claimed that the bible is God's Word and is perfect. The inconsistencies with history, biology, physics, even internal consistency are waved away as not understanding context or metaphors or any number of other excuses.

Yet even if we have a totally internally consistent holy book, would it be enough to give credit to the idea of divine inspiration?

Or is such a thing no more impressive than a good editor?

It is claimed that God's Word is perfect, but is a perfect word good enough to proclaim as god's?
