Sin control, and software freedom

by cw

Infallibility of the Word of God

by cw

What do you think about the infallibility of the Word of God? Coming from a fundamentalist Christian theology, I've been conditioned to view the Bible as almost a deity unto itself. And the popular line is that the Bible is inerrant, and therefore if we… more »
