    So called "Middle Knowledge?" Does he hold to Jesus just having a mixture of his 2 natures then?

    I believe in both, although I would differ and state that the Bible is without error in every matter that describes a person's salvation;
    I see nowhere in the Scriptures that anything is "required" for salvation, except that God do the work and we as His people evidence that work in us.

    I can't say as I've ever really experienced that, since to me, any "contradictions" in His word that I've run across in my own studies, I've always known were apparent and never definite.
    Whenever I saw something that looked contradictory, I always accepted whatever He said, and trusted that He would show me the resolution for it.


    Over the years, by God's grace, He has shown me the truth of ( at least most of ) them now.
    I see it as both inerrant and infallible.
    I'm sorry to read this.
    I see that not only is God establishing His perspective on salvation, He is also establishing His own perspective ( which we as believers are to trust implicitly ) in matters of both scientific and historical record.

    His word is truth, and ours is corrupt....

    There are known mistakes and errors in all translations, but the good news is that we are not Muslims, do not require a perfect bible, as we have the perfect Lord of the Bible@

    The good news is that He loved me and sent His Son to die for me, and that by His preserved words I can know this.

    I have what He intended me to have as His child, Dave...
    Preserved, infallible and inerrant.

    How you view that is entirely up to you.


    I wish you well, as always.

    We had the Inerrant, called originals, and we do not require translations to be perfect, but infallible!

    Biblical errancy is real. What it is not is any kind of errancy in the word of God. What it is is one or more of three known causes. The reader, the translation and/or a known textual variant.
