Yes, I think the Word of God is inerrant, but I also believe God speaks to us in parables. Jesus spoke to His followers in parables and stories many times in order to teach a larger life lesson, and when Moses wrote Genesis, for instance, I imagine that God explained the creation of the universe in ways Moses would understand. He also explained it in ways to help us "current folks" to apply His story to current science and understand it all the better. In my own heart, I can't really apply a literal translation to all the Word because it seems so limiting to my God of Israel Who is limitless. Not saying I'm right! Just saying this is where i'm at in my journey with faith to this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a tendency to fall due to an old Air Force injury.... on the serious side of that question though, I would say #1 pertaining to the original writings of scripture. I can't say that I would agree with it concerning translations. I surely can't agree with #2, and #3 seems to be a contradiction within itself.

There are things that I don't understand on why they are wrong or sinful but I know it is Gods word and scripture is clear on it being wrong...so it is wrong whether I agree or not. Sorry if this didn't make sense I'm getting tired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
