Very good.

What version of the “Word of God” do you believe to be inerrant? And why?

Any of the translations (notice I did not say "version") which have been faithfully translated by honest theologians familiar with the original tongues in which they were written, and the historical context when they were written. One can compare several of these when it comes to the basic tenents of the faith and pretty much come up with the same core beliefs. Even of one throws out the passages that "conflict", you still have the same core. I do not see in that core any mention of salvation being dependent on "the Church". All my readings tell me that my salvation is solely dependent on Christ's sacrifice, and my acceptence of that. If you can show me othewise, we can discuss it. I am not a theologian. I am merely a sinful man saved by the Grace of God.

Good to see you reject sola Scriptura.

Obviously not being Roman Catholic you'll need to define that term to me. Remember, I am not a follower of Rome.

So name the translations you feel are inerrant please.

KJV,NKJV,NAS,NIV. When translated from the earliest available manuscripts (the originals are not known to be in existence). And translated by authoritative scholars knowledgeable in those languages and their historical context. And, remember we're talking about core beliefs; ie: salvation, Word of God, etc.

So far all I see is honest freindly discussion of the topic. Hopefully your comment is meant only to remind us all to keep it that way.
