Evangelicals believe that the canonized Scripture is the authoritative and inerrant word of God communicated to the ancient authors under divine inspiration. The 1978-1982 Chicago statement of inerrancy and hermeneutics is held to be the standard by evangelicals today to define what they mean by...

I'm starting an inventory on Rebrickable, and came across a part that I can't find listed.

So how do I "...
