Some time ago Shaun posted a pretty good description of the inerrancy
problem; I printed it and then overlooked it until today.
He said, in part: "I shall discuss two
approaches to interpretation, and the result when we apply those approaches
at texts that appear to contain errors. The two approaches are: the centrist
approach, which I discussed in my earlier post, The Human Word Of The
Almighty God, and the conservative approach. "
The centrist approach Shaun describes is largely co-incident with my "C"
label in a post I made a few days ago. The conservative approach appears to
be inclusive of both the "R" and the "FR" positions.
There appear to be quite a number of fairly well defined positions which
have points intermediate between my "FR" and "C" positions. Each with their
own following of enthusiastic supporters. I am learning more aboutthis than
I really wanted to!
Anyway -- thanks for the added explanation and definitional clarity, Shaun.
JB
