On Biblical Inerrancy

There is a claim that the bible is inerrant.

I propose that at better phrase be used to describe the situation.

It is better to say that no errors in the bible detract or in any way mitigate the central themes of sin, love, and salvation.

I say this because there are copyist errors and a variety of differing manuscripts that comprise the source material.

While this may not be a popular position with purists, it reflects the reality of the situation and allows for forward movement concern the proclamation of the Gospel, without needing to endlessly revisit the topic.
