A Confession of Faith on the Inspiration and Preservation of Scripture, part 1

I relatively recently wrote out the confession of faith in the inspiration and preservation of Scripture of which the following is part 1.  I would like blog readers to read and carefully ponder what is affirmed in this part, and the parts to follow, and engage in any discussion over them in the comment section.  There is a tremendous amount of misunderstanding of what Scripture teaches in these areas and what its implications are on texts and versions, and I believe that the confession below will help clarify what the Biblical position is.  After posting the confession in two parts, and engaging in whatever discussion comes up, I intend to post the entire confession in one post, and ask you if you are willing to subscribe to it, as I have done.  I believe it would assist in clarity among brethren and churches on this matter if the following confession were widely adopted.  So please read it with that in mind, and feel free to forward the post(s) and the entire confession that follows to others who might also be interested in its content or be willing to subscribe to it.  Part two of the confession is posted here. The entire confession is already here.
