Only Scripture is inerrant. Any one person or groups interpretation of Scripture for doctrine cannot be inerrant because God is beyond our comprehension. To claim that one's doctrine is inerrant is to lock God in a church box.

This is the quintessential example of what I referred to in my last post.

This assertion has no more biblical authority than a Cambell soup label. In fact, it is incredibly stupid.

One can not say Scripture is inerrant, but somebody's interpretation can not be inerrant, unless the person saying so claims inerrancy.

Such a person commits the same act they criticize the Catholic Church for, but simply isn't smart enough to recognize that fact.

Jumping into a thread i have not been following recently, but did you mean to say “one can say Scripture is inerrant?” The “but” seems to be making a distinction.
