On those who say the Bible is not inerrant

I wrote this little diddy on another blog, but many of you may have experienced it yourself:

Yes, the [Kenton] Sparks fellow seems like a central casting liberal theologian.

One thing I've observed on this subject is when you first engage people who come on with "all the mistakes" in the Bible (like evolutionists and atheists) they first start out speaking as if the Bible contains Chinese mythology, plagiarisms from old Hollywood scripts, statements from NASA, and passages of Plato's Dialogues all in a chaotic mixture, but as you engage them and narrow their complaints down they get to the point where they are complaining that in Book X, Verse Y it says "he killed 300 with the edge of his sword", yet in Book Z, Verse D it says "he charged against many and they fled".

That's a long way from a chaotic mixture of Chinese myth, NASA statements from the '60s, and Plato, etc.
