In reply to:
[color:"blue"] The Bible does NOT say, "In the beginning was the picture, and the picture was with God, and the picture was God, but it does say, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."


Nor does it say in the beginning was the Bible ... you're equivocating here, for neither is the Bible that which was in the beginning, yet you believe it accurately communicates the divine Word to us, as you should.

In reply to:
[color:"blue"] How in the world do you use “imperfection” (used in all reverence) and apply it to Scripture?


The same way in which Paul used it in 1 Corinthians 13:10:

9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

The "imperfection" is the sense in which the Bible is in part. Even as the inerrant and inspired Word of God, through it we still only see in a mirror dimly. Even if we understood the Word perfectly, would you not agree that we would not come to know Christ exhaustively? That was my only point.

Sincerely in Christ,
