non-theological facts could be in error.
They are simply not a part of the revelation.
And I suppose the fact that Popes have condemned this notion of yours (non-theological matter in the Bible is not inerrant) means nothing to you or to those who think like you. Oh well. We all know so much more nowadays than those primitives did.
Since "Biblical scholars" reject the notion that the Israelites were ever in Egypt to begin with I suppose the Book of Exodus is full of historical errors as well.
Got a quote? Precise language matters in these things.
I don’t think annalex is saying non-theological facts could be in error.
The text is inerrant throughout. Where the error might come in is our mistakenly interpreting a completely incidental figure of speech for a statement of fact. For example, there is no grounds for interpreting Christ’s statement about mustard seeds as absolutely disqualifying the possibility of a smaller seed somewhere in the world.
