A progressive Nashville church has drawn the ire of the internet after sharing a message on social media declaring the Bible isn’t the Word of God, inerrant or infallible.
“As Progressive Christians, we re open to the tensions and inconsistencies in the Bible. We know that it can t live up to impossible, modern standards. We strive to more clearly articulate what Scripture is and isn t,” the church noted before stating what the Bible is and isn’t. The Bible, the church said, isn’t: the Word of God, self-interpreting, a science book, an answer/rule book, inerrant or infallible. Rather, it is: a product of community, a library of texts, multi-vocal, a human response to God, living and dynamic.
