Inerrancy
Ξ November 23rd, 2009 | → | ∇ Life |
One of religion’s more absurd assertions has to be the claim for the inerrancy of the Bible. This claim is still made by many despite the fact that we now know that Matthew and Luke took Marcan material and incorporated it into their own gospels freely changing, correcting, editing, and deleting from and adding to Mark. This was not done infrequently. How can any one of these things be done to "the inerrant word of God".There are thousands of other illustrations of "bad" Biblical literalism. These will suffice until you do your own research.
Stumble it!

My favorite is just sitting down and writing out the journalstic (who/what/when/where/etc…) facts of the gospels’ resurrection accounts. There are entire books out there that try to explain the discrepancies, while avoiding the most likely conclusion that those documents may not be 100% accurate.

So you too have noticed….I’m anxious to pick up Spong’s book, “Resurrection: Myth or Reality.
He is one of my favorite authors. I think I know what he is going to say, but I want to read it from him.
