That would be very helpful as I don't recall this exchange.
Then why do you quote it? Is the reader of your posts supposed to interpret the verses you quote "literally" or to ask you what it "really" means? This is the whole point of my question.
I quote it because it is scripture. In fact, I'm not sure how we got on this discourse in the first place. The thread is about Catholics coming home, not about sola scriptura.
No, it is not about sola scriptura at all. Neither one of us believes in sola scriptura. It is about total Biblical inerrancy. I find it difficult to believe you don't really understand this. Perhaps you're simply fudging the issue?
Why quote scripture to "prove" anything if scripture doesn't mean what it says? If Genesis is merely a parable, maybe the gospels and epistles are nothing but parables as well. Capiche?
You didn't explain why a Divinely inspired book can't be totally inerrant because it isn't a "history or science textbook." Please do.
