I wasn't trying to attack you :p - - but that's actually part of the definition of what it means to be God. God is perfect by definition, therefore so are his words. If part of his religion was wrong, then that would mean that God would have to be wrong, which is a contradiction.

I can't beleive this is the first you're hearing of the matter. Religions have always stated that their respective texts are the infallible (or inerrant) words of God, this originating from the assumption that God is perfect.

I brought this up to respond to you saying that science could correct religion or that religion could correct itself. that happening would mean the end of that religion

No its not, its some peoples definition of a God. Organized religions have, but many people believe in a higher/god that do not belong to any specific church.

I stand by that religion does correct itself. To think it is come unchanging thing, even for the big churchs is ludacris. All churchs are run by people and have people in them just that fact alone means they will change. Not to mention how people interpret writings of certain religions. Had science never come to be ( i know impossible) religions world wide would change over time wouldn't they?

I'm sorry, I assumed we were talking about holy religions which all claim to be based off of God's Holy word. I wasn't refering to Individual peoples' beliefs or other non-deitic religions.

Well now that we have that cleared up, I'd like to say that these holy religions all worship a single God who is omnipotent, all knowing, and most of all perfect. So to say that something corrected a holy religion is to say that this holy religion is false and therefore did not originate from a holy God.

*** If it is changed then that means it is no longer the word of God, therefore it is not perfect and furthermore its contents ought to be dismissed and rules no longer be followed by those who believed it was the word of the God they worshiped.
