Must be the first thing taught in seminary

While checking out http://www.crossroadschristian.net/believe.html I noticed something you almost see on every church website:

The Bible is the written revelation of God, being fully inspired, absolutely inerrant in the original documents, infallible, and God-breathed. (Emphasis mine.)

I don’t know about you, but this statement must be the first thing taught is seminary. I imagine the first year seminary student in his first class on the first day and these words coming out of the professors mouth, “The bible is only ‘absolutely’ inerrant in the original documents.” This statement is probably reiterated so many times, that by the time someone graduates, this person is firmly seated on the Westcott and Hort Alexandrian School Bus. A brother in Christ, Will Kinney, is doing a excellent study comparing modern bible versions, showing how where a minor, minor reading is only found in Vaticanus and Sinaiticus that a majority of modern bible versions will include that reading.
