Yeah...what he said. A text's inerrancy isn't in how much personal value the underlying message has, but whether the text contains contradictions and scientific/historical errors. If we're just ignoring what the text says and extrapolating hidden meanings from it, then it's no different from other literature and should be held in no higher regard.
^Well, while you are certainly taking it to the extreme in proportion to my own beliefs about it, this is partly why we have the Church and why we are not Sola Scriptura.
It doesn't matter if you're sola scriptura or not. We're not even talking about catholicism, fuxxake.
Is the bible inerrant? It contains contradictions and errors. Ergo, no, it isn't. There really is nothing more to it.
