Do you think the Bible has ever been wrong?

No, but the people who claim to use it exclusively as a rule of faith have been all over the map.

There's no problem with believing the Bible, the problem is that I don't want to be an Arian.

I don't see that believing the Bible will by default lead to Arianism. If thy are all over the map, then it would be impossible to say where we'd all end up if we believed only the Bible.

FWIW, the church in Acts had nothing but the OT Scripture and what was being written by Paul and the others.

Seems like they were Bible believing Christians as there wasn't all that sacred tradition floating around that didn't get written until later.

Don't forget that Paul's admonition to Timothy was that Scripture was useful for correction. IOW, that's what to use to correct error.

Me, either!

But; so far; believing the bible has NOT caused me any problems.


Well; other than causing me to NOT cling to the convoluted interpretations of the Church of Rome about it.
