Mike the Wiz quote:

I do see it as the inspired word of God.

Mike, what the hell are you talking about ?
The claim of the canon is that the canon is the inspired word of God.
The entire Catholic, Protestant, Eastern Orthodox, Middle East, African churches all agree and claim the canon to be God's word.
That is the claim and it is not a matter of opinion.
Why are you so wishy washy all of a sudden ?
Have you changed crowds that you are playing before ?

Errancy is an excuse made by the ignorant to dismiss the entire source.
The Bible has errors because the original manuscripts contain errors. The reason for being of theologians is to correct the errors so that the pure word of God remains.
The claim of the Canon is that the canonized sources are the eternal word of God. When God Himself possesses His word it is obviously inerrant. When He transfers that word to humans for recording the potential for error is instantly realized. However, all the original source manuscripts, from all the dead languages contain a maximum 5% variation in content. This means that the Bible is consistent with the original sources to a 5% degree of variation. This 5% is where theologians enter the picture and determine by various means which source is correct and which is not.

I stopped reading your long post the second you referred to me as an inerrantist.
Where did you get this nonsense that I am a god damn fundementalist ?
You have made a terrible mistake.
Now I will return to your post and finish reading it.
