We've had this conversation so many times before, where it is claimed that I am misinterpreting words. Let's look at this again.

Your comment about some people believe, "you can still be a Christian and believe in evolution, so it isn't important they say.".....sounds like an oxymoron to me.

AS our Pastor tells us, "Either you are a Christian and believe in the inerrancy of (all) Holy Scripture, or you are NOT a Christian and are on your way to the bottomless pit, Hell." No two ways about it....


Let's take this logically step by step.

Abishag is saying in her first cut-and-pasted comment that you are not a Christian if you accept evolution. An oxymoron is a contradiction in terms, for those who are unclear about the phraseology being used.

We then are given a black-and-white dichotomy: unless you accept the inerrancy of the Bible, you are not actually Christian and will go to hell. We'll overlook the fact for now that this condemns the vast majority of the human population and establishes a narrowly-defined elite.

I have asked twice now whether anyone here equates belief in the inerrancy of the Bible with Biblical literalism, which seems a reasonable conclusion to me. Why is this such a difficult question to answer? I have also asked why someone thought this thread discussing hypocrites and liars is so pertinent to this particular forum that they overruled Bex's decision to move it to the Bible forum. Why is this such a difficult question to answer?
