It is knowing we can trust the Bible through God's promise to preserve His Word that gives me comfort. That hermeneutic you refer to, by its nature, is going to be unnecessarily divisive. These are matters of faith rather than rational and empirical evidence.<br /><br />Thanks for your comments.A.M.

I much prefer to say the Bible is trustworthy than to apply a secular/rationalistic hermeneutic to it.Kevin Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13472900037134045450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6698448.post-91494036950895242202011-05-25T21:59:06.448-07:002011-05-25T21:59:06.448-07:00I'm a Nazarene, and Roy's correct, the den...I'm a Nazarene, and Roy's correct, the denomination has never held to inerrancy. This was a deliberate choice made back in the early 1900s, and I think it was a very wise one. Nazarenes are conservative theologically, but they are not fundamentalists. They leave room for consciense on many matters like this.Kevin Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13472900037134045450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6698448.post-55211390728399145462011-05-23T08:55:17.588-07:002011-05-23T08:55:17.588-07:00Roy,

I visited the site this article is from and the site clearly reflected a moderate Nazarene position on most issues. While I don't fault you for using them to defend your position, I believe the rejection of inerrancy by the Nazarenes will (and has been) one of the reasons they are in decline. They are simply following their older Methodist brethren toward liberalism.The Seeking Disciplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10850752852586928341noreply@blogger.com
