Annalex: [The Scripture as produced by the Church] is inerrant

Kosta: There is no objective evidence of that. It's a demand placed on the faithful by the Church since Trent

Well, by faith.

Then say so. Just saying "scripture is inerrant" is (mis)leading unless you add "by faith", and only by faith.

Or rather, what the Jews saw darkly the Christians see clearly

Every sect/cult makes the same stupid argument in its favor, Alex. Try this: Or rather, what the Jews Christians saw darkly the Christians Mormons see clearly.

People die for their faiths. They believe every bit as you do that their version is the one true religion, their god one true god and their books one true scripture.

Trouble is—there is not a single shred of objective, provable evidence that it is, except by faith, and faith alone.

I believe it is an evolutionary process to come to that realization, and a matter of extraordinary maturity, and honesty, to admit it. But, then, not everyone evolves.

So we can assume you think you HAVE evolved to extraordinary maturity and honesty? There is plenty of objective truth concerning the reliability of the Bible, ignoring or minimizing it is hardly honest to me or mature.
