Surely this is a huge exercise in justifying the POV that “the Bible is infallible”. I’m afraid I disagree here. Firstly, your statement in the […]

Now, without having read any of his material, it may be the >case that he can explore the meaning of the resurrection in a way >which is useful and interesting from this perspective. If […]
The Nature Of Inspiration
We have had some interesting discussion on the fallibility or otherwise of the bible writers. Many Christians consider the bible to be “infallible” or “inerrant”. The bible makes no such claim for itself, however. Often cited is the verse 2 Tim 3:16, which speaks of scriture given by inspiration of God. In normal speech, it […]

Word Of God
THE WORD OR WORDS OF ANY SIGNIFICANT PERSON HAVE GREAT POWER. IF PRESIDENT SADDAM HUSSEIN SAID ‘OK WE’LL PULL OUT OF KUWAIT’ THE REVERBERATIONS WOULD BE FELT AROUND THE WORLD.
