Ok. It's got a lot of detail, so I was confused at first. It sounds like 3 movies or shows because "Big Trouble in Little China" is that kind of movie. While humming the theme song, I was eventually able to find "China Beach" without cheating. So, "Big Trouble in Little China Beach." Excellent, BTW. I was completely snowed earlier.

hmmm...having second thoughts about leaving this discussion....attempts at clarification are always good....i don't know if i can respond back as clearly as both Raf and WordWolf have expressed themselves...but here goes.... perhaps an official definition of the PFAL criteria for establishing the God-breathed Word is in order. i feel satisfied with the alternative interpretation of Genesis from Hugh Ross' book The Genesis Question,his process hits me as being an honest attempt to interpret the text by looking for the original sense.And it that regard, i do not see an accuracy issue with the points i brought up from his book. PFAL on the other hand, touching on some of those same points came up with an interpretation of Genesis that contradicts the science of physics, paleontology, anthropology, geology, astronomy etc. to further reiterate my previous points - i believe the Bible is God-breathed, that the Scriptures are inerrant. Can i prove this? No. Are there accuracy issues in Genesis? Yes. Does that stop me from deriving inspiration and guidance from it? No. In my opinion, the Bible is a religious or spiritual book - not a scientific text. And to put it another way, my concern for "accuracy", for attempting to grasp the original sense of Scripture and what it means to me today is usually focused on doctrinal issues (like the Holy Spirit and manifestations, Jesus Christ/Trinity or no Trinity stuff) and not trying to prove to myself the Bible is perfect. sorry to say I'm already sold on the idea of the God-breathed Word - but that does motivate me to understand the original languages, the cultural setting, historical context, etc. so i can get a better grasp of the original sense of it - what it meant to folks back then and what it means to me now. i don't know - does that clarify anything? or maybe i need someone to interpret what i just spoke in tongues./> ... btw, there's no complaints of hostility from my side of the Internet.
