Re: Inerrancy question or interpretation question?
My further question about why Jesus said "Not Everyone saying Lord Lord" is also pertintent to your arguement because his own words show that not all who claim to be christian would have his approval thus ruling out some churchs' from being the representation of Jesus in his kingdom.
You don't have Jesus "own words". At BEST you have an account of SOME of the things Jesus may have said.
And that's an account which was hand selected by people trying to decide which of the accounts they would want you (the future Xian) to adhere to and which of the accounts they would want you to ignore.
And that account is translated through multiple languages to get to you.
The whole idea of "Christs" return is contradicted in other gospels which recount his vision of the kingdom of heaven already here.
Further, the existing chosen Gospels give a timeline which was already erroneous by the time they were selected.
And ALL of that is predicated on the idea that there really was a "Jesus" in the first place which, given the similarities to other Solar deities from the region (Horus in particular) is highly unlikely.
So, in summation:
You are rejecting her argument based on the premise that Jesus existed, that he said these things and was quoted correctly, that the person quoting him wasn't contradicted by anyone else, that the passage selected has not been altered by committee or through multiple translations and countless generations, and that you grasp the actual message of the now modern English version of the supposed quote.
That's an awful high bar for you to get over before you can kick down deerbreh's sandcastle.
