GC,

I am not a classical scholar,

Agreed.

I admit that, but I doubt that you or anyone else is so "brilliant" as to get a PhD in any subject, and by that very fact, be the cause of some major paradigm shift in academic studies in any academic discipline.

I had a young man in my youth group who has a PhD in nuclear science and engineering, puts that to rest now doesn't it. By the way he attained this PhD two years quicker than most people could, brilliant should be his middle name. When he graduated companies were scrabbling to get him, this young man had choices as to where he wanted to work straight out of the university. He was sent to Japan to study the Fukushima reactors after they failed from the earthquake. He just returned from Washington D.C. where he worked for a few years, He was asked to go there, he did not have to apply for the job. He is a inerrantist as I am. You also have no idea of the number of Biblical scholars who are inerrantists.

The fact that there are so few scholars who are Biblical inerrantists should tell you something, shouldn't it?

 The fact that there are scholars who are inerrantist doesn't surprise me, the are non-believers who have biased opinions before they ever picked up a Bible and most of them have no understanding of the Hebrew and Greek languages. they are opinionated old farts that need something to do with their less than perfect lives. So the fact that there are many non-believing scholars that believe the Bible has errors is no surprise, they need to discount the Bible to be able to uphold their beliefs, those who take the Bible as a history book are backing up, it is a spiritual book for those who decide to follow Christ, it is a teaching aid for Christians. The history you think contradicts the Bible is not set in stone and has many flaws because so much is assumed and not proven. Like Egyptian history, so many Pharaohs had history completely re-written or wiped out of previous Pharaohs we will never have a clear history of the ancient Egypt civilization. Sad how pride has destroyed such history, but then they were not interested in any history but their own, so vain were they they never considered the very next Pharaoh could wipe out all their accomplishments by carving out that Pharaohs and claiming his accomplishments for their own. This is not what you see in the Bible, it has been recorded the same for thousands of years, makes you wonder doesn't it, why did these people do this when nearly all other nations tried to wipe out their accomplishments from one leader to the next.
 By the way I'm still waiting on a good argument from you why Jesus should not have taken the route He was said to have. Defend yourself.

but, I do think that it is reasonable to be able to  ask "why do they believe that", when they present their claim.

They have evidence which, if you'd put your fucking bible down and read their work they'd be more than happy to tell you about.  Unlike you fairy tale bullshitters, scholars are all too happy to explain.  You see, in most cases, they have to read more than one book to reach a conclusion.  You should try it.

That's their problem they read instead of studying, they lack in understanding the culture, the languages and the way things were presented, many Bible scholars who are in the inerrant camp study for many years in the disciplines of culture, languages and presentation before they act on any of the passages non-believers dispute. You know this Min why are you acting like such a dummy or is it you are not as smart as you let on.
