I love the GoFish group's overall VBS package. I appreciate they try to help biblical authority be known. But in one of their songs the line is "straight from God to you and me." I frequently try to kindly dismantle statements like that, or "God's Love Letter to You" or "Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth."

I truly, truly appreciated this topic being raised! - I was surprised that both Kaitlin and Skye still feel good about "inerrancy". The reason I do not feel good about it is that the term has too many definitions. In fact, you do not know which definition I am referring to right now! Additionally, it's a lightening rod (i.e. gets people worked up) so getting worked about something which people have likely miscommunicated about in the most fundamental way (because the term has so many definitions) is supremely unwise. So, I just don't use the term. - Philosophically, there is a huge reason not to be an inerrantist - that is will described here: https://www.missioalliance.org/why-biblical-inerrancy-doesnt-work/ - I spent 1.5 years researching this topic (in my spare time) and wrote the following document. I hope it helps anyone who stops by! I hope to publish it (possibly in a smaller form) someday. The premise of my document is that inerrancy is well intentioned, deeply flawed, and damaging. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mJ-tZC1Dys15vxUFKhnBlLp4AMWZ0f_NK6tgSnTdKwM/edit?usp=sharing

That was eye opening. Kaitlyn, what is the German title of the Karl Barth book? I'm not sure if you are right that it's easier to read in German than in English, but I would like to give it a try.

Just listened to the Inerrancy episode. WRT the recommended reading @ end... does anyone ask the question, "Should Christians Still Be Reading Karl Barth?" Every time the question about a worship music artist with a moral failing comes up, a truly honest person has to ask if the standards are being applied equally, don't they?

Thank you so much for this episode. I listened to it after I came across this article by Greg Boyd (https://reknew.org/2023/08/why-christ-not-scripture-is-our-ultimate-foundation/). I am finding the idea that scripture being about Jesus and that Scripture is not in fact God to be so helpful! I’m reading his book “Inspired Imperfection: How the Bible’s Problems Enhance its Enhance Its Divine Authority.” I would love to hear your thoughts about this book (of course I haven’t researched all your past episodes) … but I think I’m very comfortable using the term divinely inspired for the Bible. I also wanted to let you know I bought all the books you recommended at the end of your podcast. I confess the “Beyond foundationalism” looks terribly above my head so a recommendation on a easy to read article or book on this topic may serve me better at this stage if you have a recommendation. Thank you for all you do! I sure appreciate learning from you!

The text in KJV and I assume the newer more accurate says," A large or huge fish. "We always told it as a whale which is a mammal. Still God can do whatever He wants.. That is funny

Beth Prather

Well, I listened again and I still agree it was a stupid discussion. But missed you were using the original Greek with no word for whale. So how we all ever taught that when KJV says.. Big Fish..lol.. It still shouldn't leave us with God couldn't do it...😆
