Important first questions

I do, yes.

It goes back to the issue of liberal theology. Part of its danger was "double speak" in that terms were starting to expand and liberal ideas were creaping into churches unnoticed.

For example, in our conversation here you have considered Scripture to be inspired - but in examining your actual posts what you actually say is that inspired men wrote Scripture.

This is not the same thing as Scripture being inspired (God "breathed"). I may be inspired by God to write a study of Hebrews for my church. That does mot make my study itself inspired (God "breathed").

Scripture is different. Its human arthors claim that God gave them the words and make a note when what they write is their own words. To believe Scripture errant is to deny Scripture itself or to hold God errant. Those are the only two options.

Looking at it the way you put it, that makes sense. I still don't quite see it that way, though. But I understand why you and others do.
