There have been some votes.
Thank you for voting.

I am able to read the results BEFORE
i vote.

 

Thank you, first 10 voters.

BTW, answer number one is a trick question.
If you are a Baptist you are supposed
to believe in an inerrant Bible.
In fact, the whole poll is designed to
show the varity of meanings that Baptists
put on the concept of "an inerrant Bible".
This forum "Bible Versions/Translations"
is in a area called "Baptist DEBATE
forums (Baptist Only). Only Baptists
are supposed to be posting there.
Oops, we have already found at least
one non-Baptist (or perchance a non-Baptist
Baptist, it is hard to tell)

 

I don't have a problem with that.
If i like your interpertation, i'll become
a Eugene-ite

 

I thought i clarified
that when i said in the instuctions:
"Please choose the highest number with which
you fully agree."

I thought by wording it this way:

1 The Bible is inerrant on all doctrinal issues
2 The Bible is inerrant on all issues: doctrinal, historic, and scientific

That it implies:
1. The Bible is inerrant on all doctrinal
issues ONLY

or

1. The Bible is inerrant on all doctrinal
issues BUT NOT historic, and scientific issues

It is my personal belief that there is
a difference between the two possions and
that BOTH are legitimately INERRANT.
And yes, there are some who believe one
or the other.

 

Thank you first 23 voters.
Good turnout this holiday week-end past.

I wish we could have Chicago rules
vote early, vote often. But alas,
we each only get to vote once per person.

 

Here are the results of the first 23 votes:

Thank you, 31 posters.

Craigbythesea, i've already heard your
objections from elsewhere. This poll is
labeled #2, it isn't exactly like #1.
In six months there will be a #3. Constructive
criticism would be to mention how the
categories overlap and how that makes the
poll less valid. If you just want to
blow steam, that is alright also.

 

Wow, a dozen new voters

And here is the new score:

Poll Results: Bible Inerrancy Poll #2 (35 votes.)

7 the Bible is inerrant as applied by _______ (post person or group) 0% (0)

Somehow half of us seem to like #3:
3 The Bible is inerrant in the original autographs 43% (15)

 

Oops, i put this on
another topic:

Yes, Bro. HankD, it is interesting how half the
folks here vote for:

"3 The Bible is inerrant
in the original autographs 43% (15)"

I see two problems.

1. We don't have the original autographs. I want
to have the inerrant Bilbe IN MY HAND.
(And I do, which ever faithful translation
I have in my hand).
So I voted my convictions which is:
"6 The Bible is inerrant in all faithful English translations 9% (3)"

2. Just kidding' about 2 probvlmes
did you know the KJV New TEestament
soruces disagree with each other?
37 variants are documented in the New Testament
by the original King James Version translators.
This document is found in faithful renditions
of the King James Version like the KJV1611 Edition
and the KJV1873 edition. Even some "don't mention that there
are various versions of the KJV" are still honest about
the translator sidenotes (footnotes).

 

This poll gets no votes when on page 2
of the index. Now it will be on
page 1 of the index

 

Amen, Brother Ed!

And now there are some new persons.

 

Thank you for voting today.
