The Baha'i Studies Listserv Sure. They believe in the infallibility of Scripture, which does not, according to either system or any other system of beliefs (except maybe Mormons), include the Sefir-i-Yetzirah or the Testament of Abraham (much less the Mormon "Book of Abraham"). This is a very weird direction to take a discussion.

This highlights the difference between tradition and scholars on who wrote what and when it was written. Anyone who's ever been to an evangelic Protestant church or an Orthodox synagouge will know some religious people don't care for modern liberal scholarship and reject it entirely favoring the inerrancy and infallibility of scripture. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_criticism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textual_criticism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_inspiration http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_inerrancy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_infallibility http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_narratives_and_the_Quran http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_view_of_the_Christian_Bible http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnosticism_and_the_New_Testament http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testament_of_Abraham http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sefer_Yetzirah http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Abraham __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:arch...@mail-archive.com Unsubscribe: send a blank email to mailto:leave-691033-27401.54f46e81b66496c9909bcdc2f7987...@list.jccc.edu Subscribe: send subscribe bahai-st in the message body to ly...@list.jccc.edu Or subscribe: http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/all_forums/subscribe?name=bahai-st Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:bahai-st@list.jccc.edu Web - http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/?forum=bahai-st News (on-campus only) - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.net New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.edu
