We believe that the Bible is inspired by God in its entirety, and is without error in the original autographs, a complete and final written revelation from God.
What do you believe ?
Well grounded , that's where we wanna beI know the younger generations think I am a large and heavy stick, stuck in age old mud, so dry that it will soon turn to rock but I agree!
It shouldn't even be a question.This question has come up on another thread...
That's excellent! Makes perfect sense. I never took that to mean that what Paul said there was uninspired, but I struggled to make sense of it. Thank you!2 Timothy 3:16

Paul penned
Gal 5:2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
Gal 5:2 clearly shows what can happen when we 'cherry pick' verses...
The way I understand the text you have shared is that Paul is simply saying that circumcision of itself doesn't amount to a hill of beans. Circumcision by faith? Now that's something entirely different.Following the lead of the op here is the context of Galatians 5:2.
Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law. You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love. Galatians 5:1-6.
- You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law;
Estranged - Seperated, disconnected, severed, removed,
You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. Galatians 5:4 NASB
Very sober words.

There are over 400,000 textual variants in the manuscripts. But these errors are spelling, copy errors, and interpretation errors. The Bible is inerrant in communicating the message/messages God intended. All challenges to the contrary have held up under closer scrutiny.So can you show / post the errors God sent us
I believe it. Otherwise we believe some and make up the rest, thus, denominations and religious conflicts.This question has come up on another thread...

I agree. To think that God would give his word in such a way that the message/meaning would be lost to nothing more than changing languages is discounting His omniscience.There are over 400,000 textual variants in the manuscripts.
