Re: Some sermons on inspiration and inerrancy that back me up
By definition everyone else is wrong. Simple, really. In multiple senses of "simple".

Re: so let's add yet abother different vesion of the story
22:9 means they didn't hear what the voice SAID. You do have to read in context.
I.e make stuff up. The passage explicitly and clearly tells us that they did not hear the voice.

Re: so let's add yet abother different vesion of the story
It can't mean that because the Bible doesn't contradict itself.
The Bible contradicts itself in many places. Ignoring them is assuming your conclusion. You are supposed to be demonstrating infallibility, not assuming it. But obviously you are incapable of even comprehending the concept of demonstrating infallibility, much less actually trying to do it; all you've ever done is assert it.
The passage explicitly and clearly tells us that they did not hear the voice. The Bible contradicts itself in that case. Not earth-shaking, but a definite contradiction.
Edited by JonF, : No reason given.

The Bible is not to be approached "normally," it's not a normal production.
Assuming your conclusion yet again.

Yeah, that's your hypothesis. With no evidence for it whatsoever.

There's lots written against this documentary hypothesis nonsense, also known as "the higher criticism," to be found online.
Yep, and lots written for it. If you want to address the arguments for it go ahead.

Dean Anderson once put up a Web page of the KJV Pentateuch with each word colored according to which of four sources the word was attributed. Then he took it down for some reason. He gave me a copy but withheld permission to put it on the Web.
It's a shame. Whatever you think of the DH in general or whichever DH variant he chose, it is a very effective presentation with information contained in the blocks or lines or dots of color, and the ability to easily read each source separately.

Re: Moses
When tradition is as strongly supported as the Biblical tradition is, it is evidence in itself.
So Hinduism must be the One True Religion.
