    I'm not voting cause I've not studied all these Bibles. But as to the Message and you saying the Reader Digest is like it. I don't think you can call them invalided. Cause they aren't considered the same they're a paraphrase.

    Perhaps. Feel free to find the folks and ask them. I already know what some will say ('???' means I don't know what they will say)

    Here are the people who voted for the KJV1873 Edition:

    Brother Bob, -- on record - voted backwards (post #85)
    FundamentalBaptist02, -- on record - voted backwards (post #55)
    Jack Matthews, ???
    MsGuidedAngel, -- says "KJV 1611 AV Bible thats ther Book for me!!!" but votes for KJV1873 Edition ONLY ???
    Plain Old Bill, ???
    rsr, -- on record - voted backwards
    saturneptune, ???
    Sheila, ???
    TC, -- on record - voted backwards (post #38)
    Terry_Herrington -- Banned

    And, there are some who didn't even vote at all:

    Dr. Bob #22

    //I did not vote since it would not allow "none" as an option.//

    These people voted against the NIV ( claiming it was invalid ) , but they didn't vote against the NASB :Baptist4life( Active ) , Charles Creech78 ( not active , but logged in last on 3/23/08 ), D.Y.R.#7XTRUST ( last Active in 07 with just 5 posts ) , Eliyahu ( Active ), IFBMOLE ( Active ), and 4tn4eg( active ).

    These folks voted against the ESV ,but did not vote against the NASB : Angelfire ( last active in 07 )and Eliyahu ( Active ) .

    The following individuals voted against the NIV , but did not vote against the ESV :Angelfire , Baptist4life ( Active ) ,Charles Creech78 ,D.Y.R.#7XTrust , Eliyahu , IFBMOLE ,and 4tn4eg .

    Interesting .

    IMHO there were several trends going on here:

    There were folks who dislike my prolific writing, flawless logic, inspirational Fundamentalist/Christian writing, evangelical/missionary ferver, and sarcastic humore -- they were trying to counter whatever they considered that I might be trying to do. There are some people who actually read the instructions and didn't vote against something that they hadn't studied at length (which is kind and they had good motives). Like some, I'd probably change my vote (if such was allowed and call none of them invalid.

    Anyway, it was fun to have the poll and I'm not sure what all it proved. Next time I'm going to set a limit of like three months so it will be sure to be lost the archives of once done polls. :sleeping_2:

    I appreciate each and every one who participated in this pll. I know I look at polls and always vote IF MY VOTE IS NOT KNOWN. If my name is printed next to the votes, i might not vote. I sure will take more care if I do vote, my name might be there for quite a while, you know.

    Amen, Brother RIPPON -- Preach it! :thumbs:

    (please note: 'You Preach it!' sounds so much more BAPTIST than 'Pop to Top', 'Update', or 'Bump')

    God bless you, Brother Rippon for your words of kindness. I have a figure that is overweight (obese, according to USGovernment specifications :( ) and you say I have a skinny 'staple figure'. That is really a great thing to say!

    So, according to the polling:

    The NASB is 6 votes more valid than the NIV.

    The ESV is 5 votes more valid than the NIV.

    And, of course, the NASB is 1 point more valid than the ESV.

    So I guess we're not going to find out if some folks who have never even laid their eyes on the following: HCSB,NET Bible,NRSV,NJB,REB,MLB,NLTse,TNIV think those are invalid or not.

    I clicked on one before I realized you couldn't vote for more than one. I don't consider these valid:

    NIV (Actually I think this is is fairly valid, but I have a few issues with it, but it was the only one I got to vote fore before realizing you could only vote one).

    NLT

    What do you mean invalid? Not accurate? Not the word of God? Not canon? What?

    The real question is WHAT DOES BROTHER THINKINGSTUFF think that 'invalid' means?


    BTW, I voted for more than one item.
    I can't check the voting, lest I be voting again.

    Evidently the rule is that one can vote for one-to-ten items, even cancel votes, if one does it before one hits the VOTE button. Once VOTE it hit, the vote is made. One can only hit the VOTE BUTTON once.

    If one thinks voting is complicated, one should try making a GOOD poll :) (practice makes perfect - people will tell you how you 'blew it'.
