Would I give up free will just to save a kid in Ethipoia? No. I'm no saint. Would I give it up to keep a schoolkid from getting shot? Yeah, I might.
Besides, I don't believe that there is any kind of God that grants "free will." If an omnipotent, omniscient god existed, free will is impossible. I've discussed this many times.
Now what's all this about you Christians now saying that the Bible isn't perfect and that God isn't all-loving? You guys are totally changing your tune. Until this thread all I've read is how we should believe in the word of God and that God's word is perfect.
WTF? You guys have no consistency.
Just like God nor the bible claims to be all loving.
That's just biblically based Christianity 101 sport. If it seems different then know it hasn't changed for 2000 years or so, it your understanding of it that has changed.

All things considered, that's probably the most appropriate way to spell it.

The Bible does not state that it is inerrant, but should it have to? Are we to assume that without that guarantee, that god's one and only holy book isn't perfect? Can't he do anything right?
Only God is perfect, is the bible God? Then why should it be perfect? Perfection indicates deity and deity demands to be worshiped. We are only to worship God.
