Do you?
Iām stunned that itās 81%. Iād have guessed something like 60%. I donāt know how weāve sunk so low with over 80% believing.

Iām curious how the question was posed. I know quite a few people who ābelieve in something moreā but not any particular religion. Iām not sure where theyād fall in this survey.
Itās interesting to see some groups have barely shifted and others have had big drops.

I think itās hilarious that 11% of āliberalsā stopped believing in God once Barack Hussein was out of Office. At least, thatās the way I interpreted the numbers presented.

I do too. Wasnāt quite sure @tlgains post if he did, so I was genuinely curious, but a recent post in another thread reminded me that I think he does.
Oh, I didnāt realize that was directed at him.
You know though, his comment about not blaming those who dont believe, it makes sense. The struggle to have faith or remain faithful is a constant. There are countless saints whose story is full of questioning and doubt.

Did not want to derail the other thread
I know you are referring to the King James Version of the Bible (1611). I donāt think this translation is correct.
Here is just a small sample of errors (note havenāt checked everything on this guys site).

I have a simple answer for Gen 1:1 and can probably account for the others.
āIn the beginning (of Godās dealing with man) God created the (first) heaven and the earth.ā The second and third heavens were already in existence. The King James translators were translating to speak to the English speaking people. English has been the international language since the 17th Century.
I wonāt derail the thread any further. Maybe talk private message though I donāt know how that works. But maybe you are already convinced. The only thing stronger than God is unbelief. Please donāt take that personal. It is just a fact, IMO.
After examining the case of The Superior Word by Charlie Garrett, his whole argument is based solely on one premise.
He is assuming that the agreed Hebrew text is the inerrant word of God. I am not much of an expert on Hebrew manuscripts, so I donāt know how that agreed text was settled upon by āmenā.
I am much more familiar with the multitude of Greeks texts which many disagree one with the other. There is no agreement as to the exact Greek text that should be used to translate into English, or any other language. Garrett also seems to believe there is an inerrant Greek text from which is used to translate to other languages.
