 Many liberal/progressive Christians believe that the Bible was written by
individuals in ancient times who were promoting their own evolving
spiritual beliefs, but who were severely limited by their tribal culture
and by their lack of scientific knowledge.  Many liberals believe that it
is important to recognize that many biblical passages contain factual
errors and that many do not reflect the will of God. They reject what the
Bible's authors have to say on topics such as genocide, origins of species
and of the universe, human slavery, the suppression and oppression of
women, treatment of persons with a homosexual or bisexual orientation,
religious intolerance, torturing prisoners, the death penalty, treatment of
religious minorities, spanking children, executing non-virgin brides, and
other laws and actions considered immoral by today's secular and religious
standards.Inerrancy is no a 'yes no topic' There are four different ways to
read (interpret) scripture. Inerrancy does not come into play in any of
them. Your motive, being scorn rather than knowledge, forever forbids you
being an expert in these matters...Next question?
Cordially,
The pompous, superior-sounding Old Phart.  

 
-> "Run away! Run away!" -Monty Python
Ah, the cry of a victor, the which you are not. You can run away, defend or
counter attack. The outsider wonders why the attack is made. Wish for a
religion, Unhappy at being left out? Bad experience with one? Envy that
others seem to have purpose and a clear sense of value in their lives?
Quelling all the previous by unfriendly attacks? I confess I do not know.My
off hand opinion is you form opinions too quickly. Expressed too quickly,
too starkly, to be rapidly accepted. As I say that just off hand. But it's
more than a disdain for fraud and less than a search for truth, the former
is universally distasteful the latter...hell, I'm still searching :-)
