Wow all that schooling and real life experience and you can only come to two conclusions about those who believe in the bible...
What of those who simply believe what the bible says about itself? You went to semenary, surely in all of your studies you must have uncovered the truth about inerrency... The bible does not claim inerrancy. the doctrine of inerrancy is based off of 2tim 3:16&17 and 2 Pet 1:20&21. The long and short of it is the bible is the Inspired word of God and useful for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness. and Pete said that all prophesy was given by the Holy Spirit and not by the words of man. Somehow these two seperate concepts had a baby in your mind and you locked your beliefs into a doctrine of inerrency even though these are two totally seperate statements orginated from two completely different people, so when you found what you thought to be an error it was over for you.
Again, What about those who simply believe as the bible teaches? That we are only responsiable for what we have been given over to understand. (Simple parable of the talents here preach) if god gives you the KJV then that is what you are responsiable for. If you been given the vulgate and if you can square all the extra crap in your mind, then again that is what you have been given and are expected to be responsiable to...
There is no one denomination that hold the singular key to salvation. Christ said He is the way the truth and the life, that no man comes through to the Father but by Him. Not that no man comes to the father but by a specific version of the bible, or by s specific version of a certain christian doctrine. No Christ is to judge us on our ablity to invest and turn over the 'talents' He has entrusted us with. That is why in Mat 7 christ dismissed some of those who claim to have followed Him and reinforced that He would judged who is and is not 'Christian.'
