Berean, would you do us a favor and try to send the list a posting that does
not beg the question of biblical accuracy?  After all, the issue on this
list is whether the Bible is inerrant, and to discuss this properly your
side needs to present arguments that give reasonable evidence that there are
no errors in the Bible.  I don't see how you can possibly give such
reasonable evidence, but I'm not responsible for your having taken a foolish
position.  May I request, then, that you try to present argumentation and
not just send postings that begin with the assumption that the Bible is
inerrant.  The only way you could "know" that "all mankind if worthy of
dead, as there is none righteous" is to assume that the Bible is accurate in
making such claims.  To do this, however, is to beg the very question that
we are debating on the list.

Does this clarify the situation for you, Berean, or do you want me to draw
you a picture?
