That's not about inerrancy, it's about literary genre--a distinction you likely find distasteful, but it's real all the same. In effect, you are commanding God, demanding that He only inspire scripture in the genres that you permit Him to use.&Charlie J.

But this is simply dissimulation and double talk. I fail to see how adopting the radical view of the documentary theory can be characterized in any other way except as a compromise of biblical inerrancy, Charlie J.

If the Penteteuch and other major books of the OT are merely pieced together documents by "inspired" editors then Jesus must certainly have misunderstood who wrote the OT.<br /><br />Asbury is the "Mike Charlie J.

I doubt it is fruitful to try to engage you in this conversation because you seem unable to see things other than in your own categories, but you do me an injustice in what you say.
