I find it helpful to consider everything in terms of its 'proximity' to the Truth. THE TRUTH -Jesus on the cross for our sins- from that starting point everything fades in relativity. The truth stands alone, for it alone is true and cannot be false. As for the inspired word of God, it is inspired, and useful, but flawed having passed through the human interface. What matters is our relationship to the truth of Jesus Christ, from that perspective- it doesnt matter if the Bible is true. The law is written in our hearts. And we live growing in grace and obedience to its instruction through continued relationship. We are blind beggars, though more than conquerors in Him. Jesus did not say 'I am the Law' -He is the truth, the way, and eternal life is in relationship to Him. He is the word made flesh- far superior to words on a page or a stone tablet. As the flesh made spirit-God dwells within, with even greater effect.
