Most people think that because the Bible is “inerrant” that no interpretation they have of scripture could be wrong. Just because the Bible has no errors in it, doesn't mean that people cannot and have not made erroneous interpretations concerning it.
Those who quoted the Bible in support of Geocentricism also hung their hat upon the Bible being “inerrant” when they claimed that where the Bible says the foundations of the Earth do not move, that it means the Earth does not move.
Do you feel they “compromised” scripture when they accepted evidence to the contrary? Or were they ridding themselves of erroneous interpretation?
