I used to believe that the SBC believed that the Bible was inerrant and infallible, but now I believe that like many denominations the SBC interprets and translates certain verses to suit their theology. We all do it, we want to believe something so we use the Bible to justify that belief - whether it is in context or not. When we do this though, it goes against any statement of belief about the authority of that document. We are what we eat, in a sense." Not in reference to the SBC but in reference to every Christian group (emerging, baptist, pentecostal....) we all bring presuppositions and filters to the scriptures. We already know what a good portion says, we are not just spending our time trying to convince others about what it says not trying to learn more from the Scriptures (at least most anyway). Every pocket has its pet theologies and all say that the "other's" pet theology is error! LOL Man you said:

You don't sound as much like a heretic now (I am sure that you are disappointed about that, because it is much your joy). I appreciate your humility, or maybe just lack of dogmatism about these positions. It is refreshing. Great post! Good clarification.
