Kevin Bywater of Summit Ministries adds this to my comments about Glenn Beck’s “9 principles”:
“Beck, being nestled within the Mormon worldview, has no problem conjoining inspiration with imperfection. That is the Mormon understanding of the Bible, is it not? And the imperfection may be found in several locations: (1) the Mormon Church teaches that the Bible has been corrupted over time, both through mistranslation and mis-transmission; (2) the Mormon Church also holds that the Bible is incomplete, a view easily morphed in the direction of imperfection. But perhaps inspiration and imperfection can be collocated within the Constitution given the amendments, not all of which Beck praises, and not all of which were even nearly original (e.g., Amendment 17, the direct election of senators).”
