The World's Fastest Bible Memory Plan

If you'd just use the little quote button it would've cost me what? About $0.25?

 

Who decides what group is competent? Do we poll for this as well?

 

Wow Ed. That is a very unimpressive pulling of a quote out of context. I thank you for your attempt at repentence in your use of quotes but maybe it will be easier on you if you just never quote me again.

 

Yes, polling is very congegrational, like which polity Baptist
groups should be.

 

'tis a curious thing to think you can find truth by listening to whatever the majority says.

"Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:" - Exodus 23:2
​

"Brethren, we have a saying, Great is the truth and will prevail: but this is never so in this age; in this age truth is always with the minority; and so convinced am I of this, that if I find myself agreeing with the majority I make haste and get over to the other side, for I know I am wrong." - A.T. Pierson​

It is a Baptist distinctive that each individual can tell
the truth of their scripture in themselves.
It is a Baptist distincitve that in the local church we
can vote to decide the truth.
It is a USonian distinctive that an group of USonians
can decide on the truth by voting and have established
a Bible demoracy/Bible republic to institutinalize that distinctive..

(recall that the term 'USonian' means 'citizen of
the United States of America' which usually is said just
'American'. But South America, Central America, Cuba,
Mexico, and Canada are in American but not lin the
United States of America (yet). So i use 'USonian'
to mean 'citizen of the United States of America'.)

This poll was designed and SHOWS that reasonable groups
of people can figure out what is a Valid Version/Translation
and what is an Invalid Version/Translation. That eveidence
shows through even the attempt to sabotage my poll
(and also the three documented 'didn't understand your poll' ).]
Ain't polls nice.
Any Priest of the most High God who created the Universe
(and all born-again, saved, redeemed, Christian persons are
priests) who is competent to be a born-again, saved, redeemed,
Christian person can figure out (with some study) what is and what is
not a Valid Version.

I believe (by faith, I might add) that God has preserved His
inerrant written Word, the Holy Bible, in all valid English
versions/translations.

It is the purpose of this poll to show people individually and
collectively can figure out which books are valid Bibles.
And I have shown that. Thank you all who helped out with
the project.[/quote]
