KING: Is he [Pat Robertson speaking on Israel] interpreting the Bible wrong? Because he quotes...

R.A. SCHULLER: Yes.

KING: ... He's saying it's from the Bible. This is my land, I shall take it back. Is he interpreting it wrong?

R.A. SCHULLER: I do not interpret it the way he does. And if I thought he was interpreting it right, I would agree with him. So I'm saying I think he interprets it wrong.

There are two views of interpreting the Bible in America, that every word is literally the truth without qualification, and then the other view is, it's called plenary inspiration, which holds that all religious truth taught in the Bible is true from God, but each word is not necessarily interpreted literally.

KING: You're in the latter group.

R.A. SCHULLER: I am.

KING: You are as well? Is the Dutch Reform Church generally in the latter?

R.A. SCHULLER: Yes.

"...which holds that all religious truth taught in the Bible is true from God, but each word is not necessarily interpreted literally."

This is what disturbs me about these "feel-good" preachers. THEIR interpretations. Just where does it state in the Bible ...this part is not too be taken literally?
