    That's the problem with inerrancy, it's ridiculous on the face of it. So the fudging commences and caveats put in place. But that adds to the problem. Either it's all in inerrancy,...

    Good stuff, David. Really, I think serious conservative Christians don't have any game except to fall back on genre. Mark invented a new genre, the Gospel, and the rules of that genre are the...

    The problem I have about agnostics is, they're liars. Even if they don't mean to be. It's a cop-out. Agnostic (from Ancient Greek ἀ- (a-) 'without' and γνῶσις (gnōsis)...

    Indeed, and one more: Did nobody ever tell inerrantists that the techniques used in the NT are characteristic of crafted literature rather than raw historical chronicle?
