Imagine a school in which a number of children, year after year, refused to leave kindergarten. Eventually, being older and stronger, and hearing terrifying rumors about how children who progressed into higher grades eventually came to abandon some of the beliefs \u2013 nay, the certainties<\/em> \u2013 they used to be certain of in kindergarten. And so, unable to get themselves to repeat kindergarten another year, they stage a coup, take control of the school and demand that everyone<\/em> be taught the certainties of kindergarten.<\/p>\n This seems to me to be precisely what we\u2019ve allowed to happen to the church. Those of us who, motivated by devotion to God and Christ, undertake to study the Scriptures, and in the process discover that their contents are far more complex and far less inerrant than we once believed, are berated by those who have never undertaken such detailed or in-depth study as being apostates, renegades, or (most ironically) not understanding the Scriptures!<\/p>\n
