Objections to Believing the Bible Like Jesus Believed It (and Answers) Cont2
Objection 6 Maybe inerrancy only fits the Gospels and 'faith and practice' because surely there are incidental errors of historical and scientific fact. (Answer: Dividing Scripture up into categories of 'revelational' (matters that make us wise unto salvation) and “nonrevelational” (matters of science, history, and culture) is satisfactory for Daniel Fuller of Fuller Theological Seminary, BUT NOT FOR JESUS and his believers!)
Objection 7 Maybe the important issue is to have a saving Christ, not to hold to an inerrant Scripture. (Answer: See answer to objection 6 above. You cannot have good Christology if Jesus knew inerrancy was false but taught otherwise. Their Jesus is thus a deceiver not a Messiah - Saviour.)
Objection 8. Maybe some biblical passages just contradict each other or are contradicted by modern science. (Answer: As OUR knowledge has increased, 'contradictions' have ceased and WE have been found in error, don't go with the foolish fallible just when the truly infallible in its last lap, the historians, archeologists and scientists will soon catch up.)
