exemption from error : infallibility

the question of biblical inerrancy

This is a new word that I learned earlier today while studying the recent exodus from the United Methodist Church. The United Methodist Church at its recent General Conference made changes in their constitution.  The UMC now recognizes gay marriage and the ordination of LGBTQ.  Adultery and extramarital sex are no longer chargeable offenses for pastors. Foreshadowing these changes was the already mentioned conservative exodus to, in many cases the Global Methodist Church. Newcomers to the nascent GMC recognize the issues that divided the UMC are only superficially about sexuality and gender. The divide is fundamentally about the authority of the Bible. 

The term inerrancy is used with respect to the Bible, judging it to be infallible. 

A while back I read Rules for Radicals, written by Saul Alinsky. In that he described how he would use trained activists to indoctrinate community leaders, college professors and theologists to imbed seeds of contrarian concepts with intent if creating disharmony in communities. 

It's been working, disharmony is here.
