Only christians need vote.

I believe man wrote it down in what he believed to be the word of God. The words have changed a lot of the times to reflect on the current needs and aims of the church.
 
The first option isn't really an option.

It's a fact that the Bible was written by men.

???
 
Are any christians true believers?

Or do they simply have themselves believe to accomplish some need within themselves?

I don't believe the majority "truly" believe.
 
Yoyo, perhaps you should have made the voters visible in your poll. It looks like atheists voted.
 
Many people will vote before reading that you only want Christians to vote. I think you should ask that this thread be closed and reopen one with clearer instructions and more options.

I believe the Bible was written by man under the control of God.
I believe the Bible was written by man, but was divinely inspired and is infallible.
I believe the Bible was written by man, was divinely inspired, but may have lost something in the transfer from god.
I believe the Bible was written by man alone. I am a theist.
I believe the Bible was written by man alone. I am an atheist.
I believe the Bible was written by man alone. I am an agnostic.
 
I agree.
Can an admin please help me so I can redo the poll with those new questions?

Thanks Ophi.

Why can't they vote, they have opinions as well and therefore should be allowed to vote.

The Bible was written my MEN and WOMEN, not god. They supposedly wrote what they "thought" they heard god say to them.
 
Maybe you can start with the defintion and get it right first. :)

The word of God is the canonized Bible. The Word of God is the second person of the Trinity, the Word made flesh and lives among us.

We worship the Word of God but not the Bible. There is a tendency to put the Bible to a level as if it is being worshipped but we shouldn't.

Agreed. Good options! :thumbsup:
 
I think we are cutting hairs with symantics. So let me get beyond the symantics with an example.

Say the boss of a big company composes a letter to his staff. He gives his rough draft to his secretary to formalize for distribution. When the letter is finally distributed who wrote that letter? The secretary had to proof read, fix typos and grammer, put it on company stationary and maintain whatever company protocol needed. She wrote it too.

Since a real good secretary is also an office manager, her boss might also give her only a hand written list of things he wants in the letter. It is up to her to pretty it up, so when the staff reads it, it refects the forceful style of the boss (behind every great man is a woman). She helps pick his forceful words like she helps pick his power tie.

Say his trusted secratary is out on sick leave. He gets another temporary secretary from the pool. She is also very skilled. For the next letter, he gives her his new list of points for his letter. She has a different style since she is unique.

The bible has a boss but many secretaries.
