God's Word is Perfect

RE: God's Word is Perfect
(March 29, 2011 at 9:40 pm)FadingW Wrote: 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?

That's really the catch-22 of it all isn't it. Because the only way the Bible could have perfect consistency and flawless ideals would be to make everything written down therein provable. And as we all know ... faith is not provable, thus it is called, Faith. As a matter of fact, if you could PROVE the existance of God, he would no longer be the object of "faith" would he ... he would become science, because you don't need to "believe" in something that there is already proven evidence of. It would be like me saying yes, I know the world is round but I also BELIEVE it. Unnecessary Foolishness.

"... Is a perfect word good enough" is not a fair question because it cannot be answered. Perfection in the bible (and in all religious holy books) cannot, could not, and never will be acheived because it would inevitably cease to be a religion. You know, just like your ever-consistant math book is not a religion.
