For example, the <a href="http://www.sbc.net/bfm/bfm2000.asp" rel="nofollow">Southern Baptist Convention</a> declares, '<i>The Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God's revelation of Himself to man. It is a perfect treasure of divine instruction. It has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth, without any mixture of error, for its matter. Therefore, all Scripture is totally true and trustworthy. It reveals the principles by which God judges us, and therefore is, and will remain to the end of the world, the true center of Christian union, and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and religious opinions should be tried.</i><br /><br />Yeah, but ... what about all those <a href="http://www.cs.umd.edu/~mvz/bible/bible-inconsistencies.pdf" rel="nofollow">inconsistencies and contradictions</a>, folks?Madeyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02593933575568389288noreply@blogger.com
