What anyone believes is irrelevant. For belief alone does not substantiate anything other than having an opinon. One thing that is agreed substantiated fact by scholars, is that Scripture contains glaring errors that many Christians avoid addressing because it rattles their 'beliefs'.. Far easier just to gloss over what you don't like to see and carry on with the 'infallibilty' myth.
OK,I agree with you somewhat that the scriptures of the accepted bibles such as KJV et al have contradictions. The bible was compiled by folks sometimes with an agenda. Books were included and excluded by fallible people. Words were spoken in Hebrew or Aramaic then translated into Greek and then into other languages. Languages often don't quite translate exactly. Meaning and nuance can be lost when going from one language to another. That said I do believe Jesus' teachings managed to run the gauntlet and get through fairly intact. I don't accept the pope, the bible, or any religion to be infallible. I am going with the Hebrew scriptures and Jesus words and watch closely for words ascribed to Jesus that don't mesh with his general teachings. Thanks for taking part in the discussion and God bless.
Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
