On your witch-hunt for error against the scriptures, you made a horrible accusation against GloryDaz and thus 'Pig for that!'
You aren't careful with your words and surely they offend people. This one was especially hurtful.
I am not the one who implied God is the author of error.
See, you trample by inference another's garden and then think that's okay. You don't think people cherish what they believe about God's Word?
Well, no, because you don't hold them up as something coming from God by which we cannot live without Matthew 4:4 Luke 4:4
Did you read Psalm 19? Do you see how David cherished the scriptures? Do you further see how that would be the same with Christians today? Before you say anything 1) You CANNOT know if there is an error. You CANNOT know the scriptures aren't inerrant. You aren't that guy. You'd have to have walked with Jesus to be able to substantiate that claim and you can't. You have no idea if a discrepancy is purposeful and for a reason. I truly and intelligently believe that is the case. Because of that, you can't really affront that wall. I'm too intelligent for this kind of amateur hour. Others? You might be the one putting milestones around peoples neck.
GloryDaz is not namecalling out of infirmity of her theology, but against mudslinging. God says not to allow pigs to trample pearls. God wasn't talking about real pigs, He was talking about people who would trample beautiful things of God. Matthew 7:6 I don't WANT to be seen as the pig trampling another's pearls. You? :think:
Lon, do you also deny what the text actually says and support this “natural/legal” pretending?
As I said before, you are no lawyer and this is worse than Don Quixote attacking a windmill. It is a guy with a home-made sword trying to attack a military base, by analogy. You do NOT have the wherewithal, either in ability or data, to prove guilt. I believe in innocence until guilty is proven. You CANNOT prove your allegations. They are just gossip and you are guilty of that gossip. You 'suspect' something you couldn't possible prove. In this case, as I told you, I 1) Give benefit of doubt: Innocent (inerrant) AND 2) Practice patience for that which is none of my business (I wasn't there, and neither were you, we aren't even witnesses). I treat the Bible the way it is intended: To read it, live by and be informed of what God expects of me. You then, when you could be extolling the virtues of God, are instead wasting it on something you are completely unable to deliver on. The ONLY thing you are doing is giving examples of difference. Difference does not mean 'error.'
A scene in New York where a purse snatcher takes a purse. In court, the kid on the street says the man was right behind Santa Claus. The man on the balcony said the man was right behind a train. The fella across the street says he saw nothing at all.
Question: Are two of them mistaken? No, that's just sloppy police work and that guy needs a senior investigator to take him under his wing.
"Santa Claus" was the Salvation Army bell-ringer. The Train was behind the robber, behind the Santa Claus, in front of the child.
I came at this as an investigator. You came at scriptures as an accuser. Check yourself.
