Hopefully we can still be true to this small bit of common ground.

I quoted you simply because that post caught my eye. Nothing else...

It's just such a pity that you are such a wishy washy, scripture denying liberal heretic.
Actually, I take great pride in affirming Scriptures for what they are, rather than pretending that they are something they don't claim to be. It would be intellectually and spritually dishonest of me to pretend like the Scriptures are something that they are not based on claims of people who hold to recent creeds or confessions that introduce something new to Christianity - which incidentally is considered heresy by both the Catholic and Eastern churches.

Interestingly enough, most NT scholars who abandon their faith come from Protestant rather than Catholic or Eastern backgrounds. The reason for this is Protestants generally claim to base their beliefs on the Bible alone, and invest a certain measure of authority in the Bible and perhaps a standard of perfection and inspiration. When the scholar sees the profound depth of innaccuracies and theological problems of the Bible which have been smoothed over, glossed, or explicitly denied by his or her Protestant tradition, the scholar must then either continue the dishonesty or deny their faith. I'm working on the idea that Reformation theology naturally ends with atheism when the perfection of scripture is touted.

You sound a bit liek me AE, I'm sure you have seen my posts and stances, certain people always take offence to what I say or Post, but i am a devout LDS member and I stand true to my beliefs.
As for your eformation elading to athiesm theory, i can say i see the logic behind that. and the bible inconsistencies (depending on what version of the bible you are reading and who you are talking to) are very noticable and what awesome is that the Book of Mormon, fills in the holes and gaps, and expounds upon basic gospel principles, mainly Fath in the Lord Jesus Christ, Repentance, Baptism, and the Holy Ghost.

Perhaps in 2000 years....
Besides, the author and the most of the original audience are still around, and this situation is fresh on our minds.

I think you may be onto something, A_E. That pretty much nails what sunk it for me and most other "unverts" I was around.

So is AE, should we discredit everything he has said based on his age?
