CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

We believe that it was written by the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Christians are indwelled with the Holy Spirit. We believe God wrote it usually our hands.

No, the whole Bible was written this way. God doesn't do anything half way, regardless of man. He didn't save us half way, either. He went on the way.

By that logic everything a Christian writes should be inerrant.
I see you are a Lutheran. Luther didn't regard the Bible as inerrant. In fact, he said he'd give his doctoral cap to the person who could reconcile James' epistle to Galatians.
And if the Bible is inerrant why did so many books included in the Catholic Bible get thrown out by Protestants? Under whose authority?

No, because not everything a Christian writes is Canon. The Canon is closed. We also aren't any of the 12, Paul of Tarsus, or the siblings of Jesus, the only authors of the NT, which again is closed.

Most books in the bible are not original to it's the bible's cannon you could literally take out any part of the bible you want and remove it. Since most stories in the bible are repeats you can take and throw those away. But i see what you are gettin at and that is the problem with christianity. Everyone has their own sect and their own version so lutherans. Apocrypha isn't considered scripture the canon had to end during Constatine's time. The Apocrypha is non canonical where as the Infancy of Thomas is certainly canon to the bible but it was removed for reasons. Even you could say the doctrine of hell is non canonical too considering it is a late edition and well.. even in OT there is no mention of hell but you do get a stern punishment before you are allowed into heaven.

He only was half way with Adam. Adam wasn't suppose to eat the fruit and he did. God messed up on that one.

Why did God grant us free will if he remotely suspected we'd fail to uphold his laws?

Actually, according to scripture, God is all-knowing, all-powerful, and ever-present, meaning He knew that Adam and Eve would fall into sin before He created them. If He is all-knowing, all-powerful, and ever-present as scripture describes Him to be and He knew that Adam and Eve would fall, and yet He created them both anyway, and allowed them to fall into sin, who is truly at fault for Adam and Eve's sin? Why does He punish the rest of mankind for Adam and Eve's sin that He let happen in the first place?

This is a more in-depth phrasing of the question I was going to ask next.
I'm curious too.
