As discussed ad nauseam, left, right and centre on the Kerg Unto Us... thread, where foretelling prophecy is defended right and centre and even by lefties except left wing loonies like me, well just me (and even I would accept it if God actually did it). I don't want to go near the Dead Horse of inerrancy, but as I asked in the context of alleged prophecy, "As we know from scripture all scripture is inspired; it says so. Including all the God the Killer stuff, which isn't how God is at all; if it doesn't look like Jesus it isn't God. So what is this 'inspiration'?".

Buggered if I know mate; it's not a concept I find particularly useful.

It's a fascinating topic, Martin, but I'm not sure how we can begin to address it without clip-clopping down into The Equine Graveyard.
FWIW, I don't believe that ideas of divine inspiration necessitate:
- Certain stories being literally true in every detail.
- A requirement to understand Genesis, Job, Jonah and apocalyptic books like Daniel and Revelations in a literal way.
But trying to set my stall out on any of that is going to get me into arguments with both right and left.
I'll have go but we're likely to end up going over very old ground with your 'magic' and 'God the Killer' tropes.

That's because that's where the problem lies. Usually ends in an argument between people who can't see a problem with God ordering children to be slaughtered in cold blood and those who can.

Yup, it's going to be impossible to discuss this on the back of the Kerygmania thread without touching on inerrancy, so off to Dead Horses we go.
