Also interested in how some of the inerrantists might respond.. I know there was a time when I would have made an appeal to consequences but I don't hold an inerrantists position anymore. I guess many would view such a radical departure from their view of their scripture as a threat to their very faith, or at least require some pretty radical changes to it.

Are there any inerrantists actually in this thread? I think it's more the case of a few people giving it a go with apologetics trying to maintain the integrity of the scriptures as they see it in their eyes because it seems a contradiction to believe or hold a written word to such lofty heights when confronted with the possibility that it is a very manmade and often disingenuous (ie: does Ephesians carry any weight or authority with you anymore if you consider that it wasn't written by Paul?) work by commitee whose intepretation and authoritative power seems to bend so easily in the wind to the whims of whatever culture or period it exists within. Some people can reconcile that and some can't, but I don't see anyone taking the literal or inerrant view here.
