I don’t want to intrude on your debate with metmom. However, I would like to elicit a point of information from you. Regarding the “certificate of authenticity,” of which you speak, who/what would be the certifier?

You are welcome to join in, if we can keep it theological/biblical and not let it drift into personal attacks because we may disagree.

I used the "certificate" to call attention to the fact that no one has it! Yet many seem to pretend they do.

When I speak of errors I speak of material errors, errors of translaioton, historical errors, geographical Eros, scientific errors, logical errors, Eros of language, tense, copyist errors, and other objective errors.

Sure, I can also disagree with someone's interpretation as a matter of opinion but not as a matter of fact, because neither I nor the other guy has the certificate of absolute truth, no matter how much seem to believe they do, unless they can produce it.

So, where’s YOUR certificate of absolute truth that you used to discern error?

So, as you see it, are we all simply left with opinion ... of one or another flavor? Is there no such thing as truth? Which, if answered in the negative, would seem to lead to the corollary that Pontius Pilatus was the wisest of men.
