Sorry Kyu; Chatty, along with thoughtful I'd accept would have been actual Christians at some point, whereas you haven't offered any evidence of the same. You seem to think only Catholics are 'real Christians' but you demonstrate a lack of understanding of what that might involve. This is my current opinion given the information I've seen. It could be wrong.
I disagree with your conclusion chatpilot. You cannot claim any solid position of the Christian Church on the matter. You can conclude what you like; that doesn't make me wrong. I accept and respect your position.
I've never put anyone on ignore in my life before I came here. Kyu's trademark 'hounding' brought it on.
Inspiration is an incredibly loose description upon which to place such a tight definition. Trust me I've also spent more years than you state considering the whole subject, not that I think ideas are any more valid as a result. I've also studied the subject in depth from both sides of the fence. Twice.
Consistency is of course not doubted by the C. Church. Can I ask if you believed inconsistencies existed in th Bible whilst you were still a believer?
