Any churches that follow the Bible but don't necessarily believe in its infallibility?
Like (I think) the majority of Christians, I grew up in churches that taught that scripture is the ultimate religious, scientific, and historical truth. It was written by men but God literally guided their hands and the pen. As I grew older and tried to read and understand scripture myself, I began to see more and more contradictions that made it more difficult to accept infallibility at face value. Why is Jesus's genealogy listed differently? Did Judas hang himself or jump into a field? Etc, etc. Every explanation usually involved a lot of hand waving and then the conclusion that "details don't matter too much, let's focus on the big picture here". But they would not let up on the complete infallibility of the texts. As I get older, I have learned to live with these contradictions because I believe that these are just stories written by men and one of several ways God chooses to reveal himself to humans. If I did not think this way I feel like I would go insane trying to rationalize everything. Is there a group of Christians who feels the same way? Some days I feel like I'm alone in this.
