SOME Christians believe the Bible is "the infallible Word of God," but I don't know if MOST is an accurate description of the Christians that do.
There are quite a few that hold to infallibility, but fewer than those who believe it is a book of fables, and far fewer than REAL evangelicals who have the third view:
Quote:
Fewer than one in four Americans (24%) now believe the Bible is "the actual word of God, and is to be taken literally, word for word," similar to the 26% who view it as "a book of fables, legends, history and moral precepts recorded by man." This is the first time in Gallup's four-decade trend that biblical literalism has not surpassed biblical skepticism. Meanwhile, about half of Americans -- a proportion largely unchanged over the years -- fall in the middle, saying the Bible is the inspired word of God but that not all of it should be taken literally.
From the mid-1970s through 1984, close to 40% of Americans considered the Bible the literal word of God, but this has been declining ever since, along with a shrinking percentage of self-identified Christians in the U.S. Meanwhile, the percentage defining the Bible as mere stories has doubled, with much of that change occurring in the past three years.
Out of one side of their mouths fundamentalists claim “most” christians believe the Bible is infallible, out of the other “most” christians are a persecuted minority. They will invent any story that fits the narrative of the moment Moderator cut: Politics
Apparently they are a failure at convincing people to believe their nonsense. Thank God!!

Reason: Stop with the political references.

So Troutdude is right, bible fundamentalists will one day become extinct if the current trend is something to go by.
Interpreting “infallibility” is easy only for those unwilling to research it. And “easy” is always the fundamentalist choice for avoiding the hard task of THINKING. Combined with lack of empathy and opposition to kindness it’s how you manage to make poor moral judgments about other people.
This is excellent. What is fallible 100% of the time is man thinking he totally grasps everything God is saying through those words without a shadow of a doubt.

Ask the Spirit to guide you if you have a hard time getting it.

You don't wanna go in there, it's a real meat market, an atmosphere you can almost feel comimg over you no matter which side you are on, and then I pull my blade, it just wants to shoot out of my mouth like it has it's own will, I swear I will cut it off one day. But yeah, all kinds of hail, the sound of grinders, screaming and wailing and as the crystal breaks under my feet with the noise of shattered glass, it becomes like pieces of glass in my head, my head.
Maybe a fresh perspective?
