Let's put it this way. If my blood is red and the liquid you have in your possession is blue maybe you should think twice about saying that the liquid you have in your possession is my blood.

Darius,
Either the Bible is the Word of God or it isn't. If it is, it cannot have theological errors. Jesus said, "Sanctify them in the truth; thy Word is truth" (John 17:17). If you consider that the Bible is a mix of truth and error, the Bible cannot be the Word of God, for how can the Word of God be a mix of truth and error? If you consider that the Bible is not the Word of God, but just contains the Word of God, and that it's up to you to separate truth from error, this means that you are setting yourself up as judge over the Bible and, as such, making yourself superior to it.

As long as I don't try to be superior to the Creator that's all that matters. Everything else is subject to being tested.

But those who judge the Word given by God are placing themselves above the God who gave it.

That's an opinion with no basis in fact. John 21:20-23 shows that these "writers of the Bible were not above misinterpreting direct words from Jesus Himself.

Darius,
The misinterpretation of Jesus's words was not on the part of the Bible writer. The opposite is true. The Bible writer is correcting it.

The correction was made when the facts finally caught up with them. For at least 20 years they all believed the false intepretation.

The day and hour of Christ's coming is unknown, and every generation of Christians has believed and hoped that Christ would come in their days. So what they thought about Jesus's words was not a theological error. However, we are not discussing what they thought, but what was written.

In Daniel's case, what was shown him, and what he wrote wasn't fully understood by him at that time, however, that didn't negate as truth what he wrote.

Rosangela, I am addressing what they taught. For years they taught and believed error because they interpreted what Jesus said to fit what they already believed and in all that time God did nothing to change their thinking. That is important.
