Quote: We believe the Bible, comprised of the Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God (Matthew 5:18; 2 Timothy 3:16-17). In faith we hold the Bible to be inerrant in the original writings, God-breathed, and the complete and final authority for faith and practice (2 Timothy 3:16-17). While still using the individual writing styles of the human authors, the Holy Spirit perfectly guided them to ensure they wrote precisely what He wanted written, without error or omission (2 Peter 1:21).
WTF! Is there even such a thing as a moderate religious person? Or are they all cooking on one burner?
It sounds like a competition for how many fallacies can you squeeze in in one sentence!
Seriously, I'm trying to be open minded and see things from their perspective, and this is where google takes me! Fuck me! Straight in the deep end!
So basically, they believe the claim to be true because the evidence that the claim is true is evidenced by the claim! Sounds legit!
Why did God need to use the writing styles of somebody else? Doesn't that make him less than perfect?
Shit, I'm using logic again... Bad Bad boy!
In my experience most religious belivers ignore the vast bulk of what is demanded they believe by their religion. For example 2/3 of Irish people voted to allow gay marriage despite all tge major forms of christianity (supposedly 90% adherence) being deeply homophobic ant them being told to vote against it from the pulpits.
Its mostly a matter of taking the bits you like and shelving the rest these days.
