Is there really a right and wrong to a controversial subject? (only opinions)
The gates will always stand open, they will never be shut, day or night.Do you see a third option?
And if it is true that God's mercy does not stop at human death, then why are those there living outside the city?

Fair enough.
What were those raised in the church taught about the Bible?
- The inspired word of God (every word) Regardless of the translation.
- Inerrant
- Infallible
The church failed to teach that biblical inerrancy applies only to the original manuscripts of the Bible, which no longer exist but can be inferred from existing copies. Even this admission is questionable. No errors? Seriously?Overview of the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy
The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy (CSBI) was formulated in 1978 by over 200 evangelical leaders during a conference held in Chicago. This statement aimed to affirm the belief in the inerrancy of the Bible, countering liberal interpretations and higher biblical criticism.
Key Components of the Statement
Inerrancy Statement
- Definition: Inerrancy applies only to the original manuscripts of the Bible, which no longer exist but can be inferred from existing copies.
- Interpretation: The statement clarifies that inerrancy does not imply a strict literal interpretation. It acknowledges different literary genres, such as history, poetry, and metaphor.
- Scope: It asserts that biblical infallibility extends beyond spiritual themes to include historical and scientific assertions.
Hermeneutics Statement
- Purpose: This statement, adopted in 1982, emphasizes the importance of understanding the meaning of Scripture in relation to inerrancy.
- Exegesis: It highlights the need for grammatical-historical exegesis to interpret biblical texts accurately.
Biblical Application Statement
- Focus: Adopted in 1986, this statement addresses how biblical teachings should influence Christian ethics and community life.
Significance and Reception
The CSBI is regarded as a foundational document for evangelical beliefs about Scripture. It was signed by notable figures such as J. I. Packer and R. C. Sproul. However, it has faced criticism, particularly regarding its stance on evolution and its perceived political motivations within evangelicalism. Critics argue that it oversimplifies complex theological issues and may alienate some within the faith community.

Thanks. I'm familiar with Wallace. Well known for his work on the NET translation.A good video on the reliability of the New Testament. Give it a watch Steve
Now I want to watch a debate between Wallace and Ehrman.
Wallace says that we can be relatively confident that the original meaning is found in the manuscripts. 46:19Ehrman vs Wallace
