Biblical Inerrancy Revisited

Mark 4:30-31And he [Jesus] said, "With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable shall we use for it? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when sown upon the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth;..."Cleary this is not true.... talk to ANY botanist. Therefore Scripture is NOT inerrant.Really it is unnecessary but just for fun try:
Leviticus 11:6 Deuteronomy 14:7 I dont believe Hares Chew the CudJames 4:5 Would anyone care to find this in the scriptures for us?Matt 27:9-10 Would anyone care to find this in Jeremiah for us?OR compare Mark 6:8-9 with Matt 10:9-10 What are we to do about our sandals?

Welcome to EvC nordog,Thank you for proposing a new topic and adding to our diversity. Since you are new to EvC, I suggest that you carefully read the Forum Guidelines and familiarize yourself with the functions of EvC by using the Practice Makes Perfect Forum or posting in existing threads.An opening post should consist of the topic question or statement being considered and the poster's own position concerning the subject.Since it has been a while since these minor differences have been discussed, I don't have a problem promoting this topic, but I will not promote it as written.Your position is that scripture (I assume you mean the Christian Bible) is not inerrant. Be specific about which religion's claim of inerrancy you are debating.Since the Bible: Accuracy and Inerrancy Forum is a science forum, you do need to provide your supporting evidence. Take your comment on the mustard seed.

Usually, in a well-conducted debate, speakers are either emotionally uncommitted or can preserve sufficient detachment to maintain a coolly academic approach.-- Encylopedia Brittanica, on debate
