Record few Americans believe in Biblical inerrancy.

[Jehanne]

I think that it has been definitively settled by scholars that the author of Luke's Gospel erred.

-however-

It is what God wants His followers to BELIEVE that's the money shot, if you will. He wants them to believe in His Bible TRUTH. That transcends mere physical reality by half a furlong, if not a light year.


Hate to be saving the religiousites nibblets for them, but it's all about the big picture here, and mere physical reality 'truth' is nothing compared to the power of His Word.

I'd be quite happy with this attitude, as it's the only way they can present their FAITH to outsiders, who by necessity, are not believers, yet:

God said it,

The Bible records it,

I believe it.




If I'm not mistaken, that's why they're called 'believers'.

I can't be a geocentrist, one reason that the 1st century Roman & Greek intelligentsia were all unconvinced by the claims of the early Christians to the point of ignoring them almost entirely.
