Hi, PB.
so why is a "modern" scholar any better equipped to answer the issue? Many of these so-called modern scholars are biased against God to begin with!
Guess the writers of the Qumran Scrolls were biased, too, as they had no hesitation in wandering all over the place, drawing their theology from the eventual MT, or the LXX, or the Samaritan texts, quoting books outside our Canons, collecting new Psalms,coming up with different interpretations of Scripture, even showing how pesher was used to put different meanings on the use of Scripture for their day. No sign of the jot and tittle there. Inerrant? I think not.
