The emphasis and assertion was that God only said write to Moses with the 2nd tablet or some such.

I demonstrated God said write many times.

I realize it has taken me the last half of my life to be able to more or less easily say

"You were right. I was wrong."

But it is pretty freeing to be in such a state as to be able to say that without folks having to get out a D-9 CAT and the asphalt ripper to pry it out of me.

Wre were talking about God actually wiritng Scriptures. What you gave me were examples of God dictating what was to be written — verbatim. That's not what "inspired" (breathed-in) means, and we agree that all Scripture is inspired. The inspiration reveals the truth to the author, who then writes it. There is a big difference between that and God commanding the scribe to write something verbatim.

I am not sure if this is supposed to be a "dig." If the correction reflects the issue, I have said on more than one occasion "I stand corrected."

The Christian thing to do is to say what you truly believe. Worrying about others, whether they can admit to being wrong, or even concering yourself with their wrong is not.
