God's word is reliable, what we have is very close to what the inspired authors wrote; it is trustworthy, God's promises are true, we can put our lives in God's hands, and God's Word is profitable, we can live by it.
God has perserved His Word, such that what we have is reliable, trustworthy and profitable.
But the process did not result in perfection.
To claim inerrancy in the existing translations into English is without merit, in my opinion.

Dont think anyone is, as THAT relates just to the originals, but there SOME who do hold to a Bible that has obvious errors in it, myth, accomodated to the culture/times, needs to be updated for today etc!

Administrative warning
A moderator has warned once about taking the discussion to the "version only" arena. Further discussion may result in thread closure.

Don't know if that was directed to me, but wanted to just say that I was referring ONLY to the idea that some do have a "less than" adequate view on Bible , NOT addressing which version to have Bible in at all!

Would it be a Requirement to believe these ways about Bible in order to be
A Christian
A Baptist
A Poster on the BB
Would this rate right there with truths like Virgin Birth, trinity, Second Coming etc as "essentials" of the Faith?

You might want to define it. Theological liberals tend to run with a different definition that Theological Conservatives.
