Bibliolatry? Is that a word you invented to cover the fact that you do not believe the Bible?>>
Just because I'm a Christian doesn't require that I also be wilfully stupid. I for one believe the Bible--properly understood, it is a source of infallible guidance *in matters of faith and morals.* I'd hate to use it as an engineering guide--you may want to cross a bridge that was designed by someone who thinks that Pi = 3, but *I* don't.
How do you know you are a Christian? Do you believe the words of Christ? When Jesus speaks of Adam and Eve and Noah and Jonah, do you believe him? Or do you put your faith and trust in Darwin?
And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. (John 8:45-47 KJV)
I'd hate to use it as an engineering guide--you may want to cross a bridge that was designed by someone who thinks that Pi = 3, but *I* don't.
Apparently you didn't do the math.
I'll repeat it:
((172 * 3.14159) / 180) * 10 = 30.0196378
The Biblical dimensions of the Bowl is accurate to within 2/100 of a cubit. The fact that you interpreted the passage to say that pi=3 shows that you would rather put your faith and trust in atheistic skeptics than in the Word of Truth.
Post 62 it is a source of infallible guidance *in matters of faith and morals.*
So exactly what is the difference between *inerrant* and *infallible* in your mind? According to Merriam-Webster Online *inerrant* means "free from error"; *infallible* means "incapable of error". How can you criticize someone for believing that the Bible is inerrant and then go on to pronounce that you believe the Bible is infallible? You're contradicting yourself.
