the so fallible Bible

[FallentoReason]

It's the stuff found in an imperfect book.

There's only so much mucking around I can handle, and we're close to crossing that threshold. Please, address the issue already, or admit God isn't perfect.

I've got some mucking still left to do.

For if you can outline the gospel, as the bible records the what does it matter if every I is dotted and every T crossed?

Even if you personally can't give the gospel I can. Which means the bible is Exactly what we need, and for those words of man may show to be in error once in a great while, it does not mean the message itself is not exactly what God wanted us to have, and be held accountable to.

There shouldn't be error if a perfect being was responsible for the Bible. There is error though, therefore, God isn't perfect.

It's just like in 1993 if I were to take a test on the planets of the solar system, I would have to had named Pluto as a planet. However if I took a test now and named Pluto a planet I would get that question wrong. Is it because the celestial body known as Pluto cease to exist? No. It just our understanding of Pluto and what makes a planet an planet has changed, and as such 'test takers' must be faithful to the information they have been given. Not what someone else maybe given over to know.

The "perfect astronomer", in all his perfection, would give you the exact information about said celestial body. Guess work is out of the equation, but it's not the case with the Bible, therefore, God isn't perfect.

The same is true of God. One principle has been illustrated over and over and over again in Jesus' ministry. We will be held to account to what God has given us. To those who have been given little little is expected, but for those who have been given much, much is expected. We are not all expected to produce or yield the same fruit. If we were then we would need an absolutely infallible source to know exactly what God says. There would be no other way to meet that standard.

As it stands we have been told to do the best with what we have been given.

An unnecessary step if the Bible were from a perfect being.
