Afterthought
Puritan Board Senior
After seeing the good reviews of this video, I finally got to watch it during my lunch. It definitely clarified some things I had seen in past Puritanboard threads on this issue, and I learned something new! I would have clicked the 'like' button, but I don't have a YouTube account. Maybe I should fix that?
With respect to the statement about the KJV not being inerrant or infallible and the above post asking for clarification, I wonder how such a statement could have been clarified in a short video? I've seen some refer to the difference between inspiration as a process (such as what occured with the inscripturation of the originals) and the quality of inspiration as a product of a faithful translation (which derives its authority from the original). But I'm not sure whether that would be easy to explain in a short video, and it might sidetrack from the topic. Since many people I know would associate language saying a Bible translation is inerrant or infallible (when no qualification is given) with a movement like the KJVO that you were distancing yourself from, perhaps it is best the way it was said for this particular video.
