Mixee, I am glad you have posed this question in the form and manner in which you have. It makes the choice so simple and clear. It elimanates the middle ground and seperates the sheep from the goats, as it were.
Of course, as born again believers we accept God's Word as inspired, inerrant, and infallible. The Gnostics attitude of "superior knowledge" would have us to believe that because there are versions that may seem to contain errors in translations, that the Word of God, Itself, is suspect. We, as born again Christians, KNOW that is not so.
There are no other answers that would be fitting, necessary, or appropriate in this poll. The question is simple. Do you believe it or not. It is yes or no, and there is no middle ground.
You cannot be half a Christian. Either you will follow Christ or you will not.
Jesus said:
Matthew 6:24: "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
The fact is, if there is ONE error in the Word of God, you may as well throw the whole thing in the trash, for how can you know what else is true and what is a lie.
No, there is no middle gound. It is black or white, true or false. Just like marriage and pregnancy; either you are or you are not.
You are my Aaron, Gerry. I don't have that gift with words, but you summed up exactly how I feel about the subject. It is encouraging to know there are others out there who find this as black and white as I do. A LOT of the people I know are perfectly comfortable in their gray area, and yes I do mean Christians.
Thanks. Mixee.
