Revision as of 02:10, April 5, 2007
, 02:10, April 5, 2007→Not to be nit-picky but...: infallibility vs. literalism
:::Literal truth of the bible means just that. Literal, not metaphorical. [[User:Myk|Myk]] 12:52, 4 April 2007 (EDT)

:::::That something claimed to be infallible should be clear is your opinion, not a requirement of infallibility.
:::::We are talking about infallibility, not literalism. Despite NousEpirrhytos' comment below, they are two distinct concepts. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 22:10, 4 April 2007 (EDT)
::::Myk, I think we're arguing logic with the wrong person. BTW, Phil, generally speaking infallible, inerrant and literal are used interchangeably when used by fundamentalists and evangelicals.

::::Another BTW, Phil, do you claim to speak for all Christians? [[User:NousEpirrhytos|NousEpirrhytos]] 18:45, 4 April 2007 (EDT)

:::::I disagree that "infallible" and "inerrant" are ''generally'' used interchangeably with "literal" when used by fundamentalists and evangelicals. Perhaps some uninformed Christians use them interchangeably, but they are clearly different things. I see bibliosceptics conflating them more than I see Christians conflating them. ("Infallible" and "inerrant" may be used interchangeably, as they are very close if not identical in meaning.)
:::::Of course I don't claim to speak for all Christians. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 22:10, 4 April 2007 (EDT)
