I think the real weakness of the defenders of Scripture is that they do not really believe in its perfection. They yield something to their adversaries.
If it be divine, I cannot yield what is divine. If it be not divine, I have lost all Scripture. If I believe it divine, I seek the divine meaning, and I shall be helped to discover it, and wait till I do.
The moment you compromise, you are off the ground on which the Bible is of any value, or that contending for it, is of any consequence.
