Biblical inerracy... or not?

As Christians, we often times get in the habit of leaning on "Faith" to answer those tough questions, and Biblical contradicitons.

This seriously frustrates me, for a number of reasons.

We do not possess faith at the expense of critical thinking and research, or vice versa. God has gifted us with minds to think, to analyze, and to discover. Who's to say we can't use them!?

I will dwell on this thought tonight, and write back in the morning...

In the meantime, despite our questions and uncertainty on many things concerning God, we can rest assured that
"Though the mountains may be shaken, and the hills be removed,
yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken,
nor my covenant of peace be removed,"
says the Lord, who has compassion on you.
Isaiah 54:10
