After reading this a couple of times, my initial response is just OK, but incomplete.
It happens a lot here. Everywhere really. I think it is a good question. Positions on both sides are just strong and divided.Well, this thread took a little turn sideways ... Lol
No worries, I guess it was bound to happen.
Just to remind folk of what I was really after: what key contradiction, moral terror text, error or whatnot, is most supportive of a non-inerrantist position?
And @QuestioningMind
Using female pronouns for me has made my night, thank you. I'm quite comfortable with either, but that was cute whether intentional or not
No sweat! The rules for selling your daughter into slavery are set out in Exodus 21:7!
Continuing the aside. You look "female" to me. I am not going to judge either way. Though I have inadvertently insulted some of our transsexual members in the past an apology, an explanation that i am old, and trying not to repeat my errors seems to do the trick.

And I don't know and really don't care what genderqueer is. I figure live and let live. I did not always feel that way. I was brought up in a time that just might have been a little bit homophobic, and that tends to rub off on a person. When I understood that I can play with the people that I want to play with it does not harm me if other people can play with the people they want to play with most of it went away.Well thank you.
You don't have to worry about ever inadvertently offending me, both because I don't use the trans label because of all the internal politics with that identifier (I'm genderqueer, but that's a side issue), and because I don't care two hoots about political correctness for the sake of it. I'm more interested in kindness, politeness and sincerity than any form of silly language policing
For me the epic fail is Yahweh, the omnipotent, omniscient Lord God who obviously because of his omnipotence, omniscience knew that after creating Heaven and Earth that He the Almighty would then create Man and Woman, and then enable and allow Sin. Then the Great Mighty Awesome God would send His only Son down to Earth from Heaven to painfully excruciatingly die for these Sins that our God The Father enabled and allowed in the first place.
Honesty is the fruit.
For me, one of the most glaring is that, in Genesis 1, the earth is flat, the sky is a rigid dome with the heavenly bodies fixed upon it, and there is water above this “dome.”
I would say that buying into the utter fantasy that ancient texts were written by God and are infallible is buying into a falsehood. I would further say that standing in judgment about the post based on such a fantasy is not what Jesus would want us to do.
