Ed's view, by the way, is inconsistent with the doctrine of verbal
inspiration on which the errancy doctrine is based. As I showed in a series
of earlier postings, prominent inerrancy spokesmen of the past believed in
and taught verbal inspiration, and there are various scriptures that express
agreement with this view. Therefore, if Mark was verbally inspired, as
biblical inerrantists claim, then any misuse of "prOi" in his gospel would
not have been his mistake but the mistake of the omniscient, omnipotent
entity who verbally inspired him.
