Hello all,

I find this forum intriguing and would like to further your conversations by chipping in my two cents.

>無誤說的起源與問題:
>1. 有人接受一本古書的一部份做自己的信仰.那部份是對的.
2.
>他接著認為全本書都是對的,並以"神的話語"來保護全書的真確
>性.他如此作因為他需要保證自己接受為信仰的那部份肯定真確

Here's my take on the thing: The bible (both OT and NT) was the tradition of a faith community, written from a faith (i.e. theological) perspective. It was handed down through the community as God's instructions to his people -- so the status "the word of God". The modern person may not trust it as the word of God, but I don't think it has gotten its status the way as you seem to have suggested in point 2. For an evangelical who believes the bible is indeed the word of God, it is logical for her to see the bible as trustworthy -- for she believes God is trustworthy.

>3.
>於是對他來說那本書的另一部份,錯誤的部份,也是對的(那部份
>錯誤因為與現代發現相衝突).

I think there is a deeper problem. It has to do not so much with the accuracy of the bible -- as important as it maybe --but with its interpretation. Regardless one's view of scripture, one still needs to interpret, where one is doomed to err at one point or another (or at many points for that matter). Inerrancy is often associated with a certain way of doing biblical interpretation which could ironically distort the message. Many times it could even give conclusions that are not warranted by the scripture itself but fit one's preconceived way of thinking which is out of touch with the modern mind (e.g six-day creation). To force a certain interpretation on scripture and call it the "inerrant word of God" is indeed foolish and arrogant. However, I don't think it unresaonable for an evangelical to hold to a high view of scripture per se.

>4. 為了保護全本書的真確性,他唯有否定現代發現.

That is indeed tragic if a person's view of interpretation leads him to such an end. The tragic thing is that one equates interpretation of scripture as "the word of God" itself.
