| Posted 6/22/2003 10:11 AM (GMT -6) |   | Dr. Boyd: Recently you wrote that you were presenting a paper on inerrancy before the ETS. I was rereading Clark Pinnock's book, Most Moved Mover, and came across this statment by Pinnock, "The real issue is not the inerrancy of the Bible but the inerrancy of the assumptions that are being used to interprete it". page 118. Joy and Peace. Ronald Ricketts

| Posted 6/22/2003 4:22 PM (GMT -6) | | Ron, Pinnock spoke truth in making this statement. Since the Bible explicitly says God changes his mind, those who are seeking to kick Pinnock and Sanders out of the ETS for holding that God changes his mind clearly are not doing so on the basis of what the Bible inerrantly says, but on the basis of what they (inerrantly?) interprete the Bible as saying (viz. that God DOESN'T change his mind).
I have half a mind to raise charges to kick Roger Nicole and others out of the ETS for DENYING that God changes his mind.
But I don't t want to sink to this level. I think there's room in academic societies for open and honest and loving disagreement.

| Posted 7/4/2003 9:31 AM (GMT -6) | | Yeah, Greg is correct here. I had the opportunity to edit Pinnock's response to the ETS. I don't feel at liberty to share his response (I assume it will be out in September). But inerrancy is really not the issue. As it has been stated on these boards before, it may be harder for an open theist to show inerrancy because God has to "work it." For a determinist all God has to do is degree it and BOOM inerrant Holy Book (we worship you  ). Nobody gets in the way.
The real problem it seems, is the view of God that guys like Pinnock and Sanders hold to that guys like Nicole can't stomach.
