Chapter I of the Westminster Confession of Faith, by which you, as a
Presbyterian minister, vowed to be guided, teaches the same concept of
inerrancy without using the word."
A point here. I am not a Presbyterian minister.
Let me take this opportunity to encourage you not to let your reply to what
David, George, and I have written in response to your original challenge
drift off into a matter of definitions about what inerrancy is or isn't.
Your original challenge to us was to show that certain shocking commands in
the OT could have been spoken by the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ. I sought to show that those commands were applications of
principles found in the NT as well, indeed, even enunciated by Jesus Christ
himself. I hope you address that issue squarely."
I hope to do so. I think the inerrancy/inspiration question bears on the
issues, particularly #2 and #3. Possibly not on #1.
I have been ill for the past two or so days so I will wait until my mind is
working again before responding to point #1.
