Hi William,

Thanks for your message.

While this is an important issue, it isn't an essential doctrine. The doctrine of salvation is an essential doctrine. Therefore, it is good to avoid things that could divide us; at least in this thread. This thread is about alleged Bible errors. Whether or not this is a "pet issue" with you, I do not know. However, I do see how you turned a thread designed to discuss alleged Bible errors into a conversation about a doctrine that divides Christians.

I'm going to stick to the topic and wait and see if anyone has questions about the Bible's inerrancy; or passages that they think contradict. Incidentally, the first one you quoted and assumed referred to salvation didn't mention salvation. It seems that this is an important issue for you, so I recommend starting a new thread for it.

God bless,
Jason
