This afternoon I was reading the responses to my earlier challenges by
you. It does seem that the issue of "biblical inerrancy" plays an
important part in our understandings (or misunderstandings).
I found the following definition on a web site and wonder if it in any
way corresponds to your understanding. I suspect it may be too
fundamentalist, but I'm not sure.
Article XII of the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy reads: "We
affirm that Scripture in its entirety is inerrant, being free from all
falsehood, fraud, or deceit. We deny that Biblical infallibility and
inerrancy are limited to spiritual, religious, or redemptive themes,
exclusive of assertions in the fields of history and science. We further
deny that scientific hypotheses about earth history may properly be used
to overturn the teaching of Scripture on creation and the flood."
