Is Theology Your Idolatry?

[Crabtownboy]

1. I am saying that they are of equal authority.

I think Paul would be extremely surprised at your answer. Of course, there is no way to prove this, but it is my thought.

2. By inerrant, I would say that it is incapable of error and fully accurate in the original autographs. You think the Scriptures are inerrant in the areas you agree with.

I have no problem with your definition. Of course, no one has an original manuscript or autographs, so it is a article of faith. Also, though I can agree with you on the originals that does not mean that I agree with your interpretations. We have to work with what we have.

In your opinion are any translations we have now inerrant?

3. You will have no meaningful answer. I have been reading your words for years now and, in spite of what your tag says, the wrong views they express have not changed at all.

So we disagree. No one has everything right. I disagree with some of your stances/interpretations and you disagree with some of mine. Simply because you disagree with me does not mean you are right. Just because I disagree with some of your interpretations does not mean I am right. Why not accept the idea that both of us are on the journey, seeking truth in God and juste are not at the same place. Maybe someday we may be and maybe we will not ever be at the same place; just at different points on the journey?

That is precisely the problem. Your journey takes you away from an inerrant Word no matter what you say about believing in it. You don't take Paul as inspired as the words of Jesus. So we are not on the same path.
