If so, then if you sanctified this error-filled document knowingly, why should I follow any of your leaders or any group of your leaders after making such a catastrophic blunder in the first place?

Gotta love it! Great question.

Answer: Because I say so. Go to your room.

Seriously, the allegedly assured results of allegedly scientific Biblical so-called Criticism (are you getting the flavor of my feelings here?) serve to open my ears and broaden my outlook in one of my iterations through a passage. It's interesting, sometimes, to read what these guys have to say. And when we consider variant texts (what is the history of "the Woman Taken in Adultery" or the last verses of Mark anyway?), we have to give some thought to the possibility that the Bible as we have it, in whatever translation, has been through a few hands before it got to us.

The way I deal with this is to postulate the involvement of the Holy Spirit at many stages of production, guiding editors as well as original writers, and leading the Church to designate these books as sho' 'nuff holy and therefore different in important ways from all other books.

That must be how(postulation) we got John Mclaim as the republi'bot candidate.. Its not that his funding came from George Soros, the Tides Foundation and other left wing lobbying groups.. but he was postulated by the republic'bot faithful.. They counted(postulated) him as a conservative when he has done everything to prove that he isn't..

I've been wondering how that happened.. Brain washing, pure and simple.. Way too much main stream TV news(pBS, cBS, nBS, aBS), evidently... Liberal postulations are very much like propaganda.. and conservative postulations are like the Mad Hatter wishing you a Happy UNBirthday..

Amen, MD. I fully agree that God has had His hand in the process from beginning to end. It is either HIS word or it is not. We must be able to trust His word as well as His WORD. :)
