These are your words, not mine. You made the claim that the Bible claimed to be infallible. Care to deny your own words?
Why, yes, I do. Read the whole statement completely instead of taking a part of it out of the context. I said "neither the German scientist's book nor the transcript have ever been claimed to be infallible", not "neither the German scientist's book nor the transcript have ever claimed to be infallible". The distinction being that the claim of infallibility in the latter case is in the text itself. In the same vein, I mistakenly said "your bible does", when I should have said "your bible has". As far as I can tell, you have been harping on a grammatical mistake I made posts ago - a mistake which has not been repeated on my part. I can only assume that this is a deflection on your part from the main argument - you know, the one where you claim that the bible is infallible because it admits its faults.
So, you deny your own words and then repeat the same thing you just denied?
Intellectual dishonesty at it's best (or worst if you think of how stupid that was). (bolded again, for her pleasure...)
Show me where I claimed the Bible was infallible and was not simply asking a question...

Quote:Christians do not claim that the humans who penned the books of the Bible were always accurate in everything they said or did. We simply believe that the Bible is right when it claims that God guided these men in their task of writing Scripture, in such a way that the result is an infallible book.
Quote:2 Timothy 3:16 contains the classic claim that the Bible was produced by God, not just men:
All Scripture is inspired by God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.
Ironically, 2 Timothy and the other pastoral epistles are later forgeries by some xtian liar using the name of "Paul" to impress the other dolts.
Leave it to xtians to base a claim of infallibility on a forgery!
I don't see where 2 Timothy mentions anything about being "infallible". It just seems to point to God's inspiration and the usefullness of scripture...
Besides that, where are "all scripture" located? I'm quite certain there was a lot more than is currently included...
