Biblical inerrancy is a modern invention. It is not a part of the historical teaching of the Church. There is no hint of it in the creeds. The doctrine arose in the modern age as a response to the perceived threats of historical criticism. The most nuanced versions of inerrancy parse all meaning out of the doctrine. Less nuanced versions are untenable.<br /><br />How can the Scriptures, if they are not inerrant, teach us anything about God? The same way any fallible, sinful preacher can: by pointing us in the right direction.<br /><br />The Scriptures were written by and for people of faith. They are a conversation between God and God's people, a conversation in which we can become full partners.<br /><br />God bless,<br /><br />BrantBrant Clementshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16593149504013469895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5043107720628785237.post-28243884051557374402013-09-02T12:04:09.434-05:002013-09-02T12:04:09.434-05:00Hello Brant I've got one question.
