Probably the biggest problem (tee hee) with Biblical Inerrancy is that Holy Scripture faithfully records both of Jesus' crucifixions.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Because the rest didn't rise to the occasion and actually vote. I'll be here all week.

 You just can't accept that you've been shown there is only one crucifixion can you.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Well, help me "see the light" GC?  The three categories add to 100% for each year; what does the poll, from your perspective, mean?

Acing net neutrality is going to be bad in that regard. People in those highly religious states may have allies in their ISPs that limit the types of sites people in them can view. The kind of crap I see at a woodworking site I am a member of- A guy cut out a thin plywood silhouette of a woman and painted it pink, with dark wavy hair. People were stabbing their eyes out with Bic pens and complaining about how their "12 year old sons visit this site, and shouldn't see this stuff". Gotta be shitting me. Needless to say, there will be pockets of even more ignorant people, if they can't have unrestricted access to the entire internet.

Net neutrality is as certain as the Sun rising sometime in the 2020s.  When the Democrats gain power (first, next year), and with it, the White House, net neutrality will be the Law of the Land.

We have a CLEAR crucifixion story on Maundy Thursday in John. So God clearly demands belief in a Thursday crucifixion. No doubt about it.

Mark and Luke are on board with Friday, and that's well and good too, but Friday does not equal Thursday, so God in His infinite Plan and majesty wants His believers to believe in a Friday crucifixion too. I'm thinking a believer need not question His plan, and just stick with believing it, since Scripture offers no other choice. Indeed.

And to be clear, I'm even spotting the believers here a PASS (out of my generosity!!) for not rubbing their noses also insisting on a THIRD crucifixion on Wednesday since Matthew invoked Jonah's 72 hour stay inside a whale as an harbinger of Jesus staying dead, dead, dead for 72 hours also, and that GROSSLY mungs up a Friday crucifixion (other than God inspiring those accounts too. And a case could be made that in honor of the Holy Trinity, Jesus very well could have been crucified THREE physical times, Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, AND Friday.)

I've almost convinced myself there, in fact, that a triple could very well indeed be ordained as the ultimate revelation of the Holy Magnificence of the Trinity.

Praise the TRINITY !!!


So, sorry believers, but you're not believing very well there if you only believe Jesus was nailed up once. The Lord God Almighty has ordained belief in MULTIPLE (lest Holy Scripture be questioned!) crucifixions, and the only REAL question is whether or not Jesus was crucified twice, or THREE times.

The single crucifixion tale is as dead as the tree(s) Jesus crosses were made from.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

RE: Record few Americans believe in Biblical inerrancy.
Here's the thing my "good people" The bible never claims to be inerrant.. that is a doctrine that was created several hundred years ago to superceed the power of the pope.

That said after 25ish years of nearly daily study, I have yet to find a single flaw or out right "error" aside from spell grammar or interpretation.

To say the bible is inerrant means one does not understand what the bible itself teaches. The bible is a tool to engage the Holy Spirit which is inerrant. once you have been introduced to the Holy Spirit errancy is no longer an issue.

For that matter even those who do not claim inerrancy may not correctly understand what the bible teaches .. depending whether they agree with oneself.
