MATT I believe the above for the same reason I believe all the Bible is inspired by God and inerrant, i.e. my conviction that the God of the Bible and Christianity is true and that the claims of passages like 2Timothy 3:16 are true and extend to cover the completed canon. STEVE CR Ah ha, a starting point. So give an explanation of 2 Tim 3:15 in conjunction with 2 Tim 3:16. After all, I thought Biblical exegesis was supposed to explain what the original meaning of the verses written. I personally think that Paul when he says all 'scripture', includes 'The Histories' by Herodotus - after all 'scripture' just means 'writings'. Do you agree? I might start my discussions on the inerrancy of Herodotus quite soon. Steve Carson-Rowland Brisbane, Australia (Witty or incisive quote pending)
