That's not really accepted here...this board's form of Christianity is 'agape love'. The agape loving posters may come off a bit hateful most times but that's the conservative Christian posters' fault.

No, fool. I don't. The Bible being the word of God does not make the Bible itself God.

That's odd, you were saying earlier that you loathed yourself . You basically said you identified yourself with your sin. I am not here to for any other reason then to free you in absolute totality from this wicked and perverse belief . Jesus Christ never ever said accept yourself to be a sinner and you will be saved. The evangelical fathers re wrote scriptures and convinced that this is what the scriptures say. I am sure you are wonderful mummy to Sophia, be an even better one by being yourself and not the one shaped in the belief of evangelical christianty. God will be with you in your choice , where ever you go and whatever you do. There is life outside of the clutches of evangelical christianity, and a life outside of it is not path to eternal hell. Come on Sophias's mommy wake up for yourself and your daughter.

Well make up your mind. You just said that I don't equate the Bible with God and then you turn around and agree with pcamps that I do. Recognizing that the Bible is the word of God is not making the Bible out to be God Himself.

Is it not authoritative, inerrant and infallible from your perspective?

I love you calling me a fool.(You would be in melt down if i said that to you) We have had enough back and forth to establish you believe the bible is God. Answer a simple question, is Jesus Christ or the scriptures OUR authority.

I could've been more clear when I responded to you. It's been a long day and I'm tired. Hopefully my response to camps cleared up for you what I meant.

For a believer in biblical inerrancy, Holy Scripture is the Word of God, and carries the full authority of God. Every single statement of the Bible calls for instant and unqualified acceptance. Every doctrine of the Bible is the teaching of God and therefore requires full agreement.

Biblical inerrancy
