Chronic Wierdness

Hi folks. In case u haven't figured it out yet, I'm sort of an odd ball. I find it neither good nor bad to be different. It is what it is. I'm happy enough with it.

Anyway, I have some theological views that r rather outside mainstream Protestantism, that I like to share with others for their consideration. NOBODY HAS TO AGREE WITH THEM. And it won't make any difference how u choose to believe on these topics when u stand in judgement.

So, periodicly, I plan to mention some of my views for ppl to respond to. I'll usually present them in such a way that will elicit comments from ppl. I'd suggest ppl don't become nasty, cos I always win those debates. But feel free to disagree!!!!.

(PS, if u do become nasty I might delete ur comments, or worse, leave them there so I can ridicule u. Ur choice)

My first topic has to do with the difference between two theological views of the Bible. Biblical Inerrancy vs Biblical Infallibility. (I suggest u do a Wikipedia search before u comment)

I ascribe to Biblical Infallibility. I believe the Bible is the best sourcebook we have, but it is not perfect. Nor is it a perfect depiction of all and solely God's words.

In short, I love and revere the Bible but I don't worship it or think it is perfect. Nor do I think it even needs to be. (Note, an exception is that I feel the message of salvation thru faith in Christ and God's Grace IS presented perfectly)

Any comments?

 Gav, As we have talked before, you and I agree that faith in the bible is not a prerequisite to salvation, however I would like to encourage you, that in those passages that you struggle with, instead of just coming to the conclusion that they are in error, try stepping back and looking at it from the author's culture, viewpoint, and understanding of the world. Many times that helps us to understand that the author may have reported truly, but with a limited understanding of what he saw.

I agree!
One of my sayings is this, we don't have to believe the same things, in the same things or even worship the same, for me to love you. But if we don't, I'll pray for you.
Love and Hugs
Lord, keep one hand on my shoulder and one hand over my mouth!

 Wow guys!!! I expected more disagreement I guess. TY all for being so polite. Now, I have to think of another controversy. LOL

Don't worry, I have more than a few heretical views. LOL

Most of u have already heard my reasons for believing the way I do, but TY all very much for reading my blog and responding.

GBU all,

Gavin
